Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a first-person survival horror game developed by Frictional Games. Set in a dark and foreboding Prussian castle, players control Daniel, a man who awakens with no memory of his past. As he explores the eerie corridors of Brennenburg Castle, he uncovers disturbing truths through notes and flashbacks while being hunted by terrifying creatures.
Unlike traditional horror games, Amnesia emphasizes psychological fear rather than combat. Players cannot fight enemies directly and must rely on stealth, hiding, and careful resource management to survive. The sanity system adds another layer of tension—staying too long in darkness or witnessing horrifying events distorts vision and attracts danger.
The game’s immersive sound design, realistic physics-based puzzles, and oppressive atmosphere create a deeply unsettling experience. Every creaking door and distant scream heightens suspense. Widely praised for redefining modern horror, Amnesia: The Dark Descent remains a landmark title in the genre.
