First-person survival horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent offers a chilling role-playing adventure where you must navigate, adopt identities, and survive terrifying situations. Unlike other horror games, Amnesia immerses players in a genuine sense of danger.

You will embody the character of Daniel, with the game's prologue unfolding a haunting tale about him. You awaken in a medieval castle with a note on your person revealing that you've been brought here for a specific purpose. You've been in this place for quite some time, and as the narrative unfolds through diary entries and flashbacks, it becomes clear that your presence is not for noble reasons.

The eerie sensation of being alone in the dark is palpable. Despite the complete absence of light, supplies of lamp oil and tinderboxes are scattered nearby. Stealth becomes a crucial task. Memories fade into the night, leaving everything a blur; all you can focus on is the feeling of being pursued. Distant howls echo, prompting you to sprint down the corridors.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is rich with pure survival horror. With no firearms at your disposal, Daniel is defenseless against any threats. His only companion on this journey is a dwindling stock of matches for his oil lantern. The player's goal is to explore the entire castle and discover how to escape on their own. The game doesn't attempt to captivate you with realistic scenarios, cutting-edge 3D graphics, or an immersive sound system. From the moment it starts, the game is entirely in your hands. There are no flashbacks or time-jumping elements here; each event unfolds in real-time.
