Amnesia: The Bunker is a chilling underground obstacle course of horror

Sharing is caring!

Learn. Adapt. Experiment.

These are the three pillars for surviving Frictional Games’ upcoming horror title Amnesia: The Bunker, where players will find themselves trapped in an underground World War I bunker with a nameless terror, as they try to find their way out.

Fredrik Olsson, creative lead on the game, says the game’s opening, which tells players they’re on their own and that they must learn, adapt, and experiment, is meant to let them know that they shouldn’t be afraid of trying things out.

“The game is essentially an obstacle course where almost every challenge can be tackled in multiple ways,” he said. “Players get the most out of this game not by hoarding resources, but by experimenting and finding out how to use them to their advantage. The message at the start of the game is meant to inspire players to adopt this mindset.”

Amnesia: The Bunker is the fourth title in the Amnesia series and the third developed by series creator Frictional Games. 

In The Bunker, players take on the role of French soldier Henri Clement. He finds himself alone in a desolate WWI bunker armed with a noisy dynamo flashlight, a revolver, and a single bullet.
