Amnesia: The Bunker Shows Off 10-Minutes of Terrifying Gameplay

Frictional Games, the developer behind the Amnesia and SOMA titles, has released 10 minutes of gameplay from their upcoming horror adventure, Amnesia: The Bunker, coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on May 16, 2023.

The gameplay highlights how players will navigate this new world, collecting items and investigating dark corridors. Weapons and resources seem to be limited, but many elements of the environment can be interacted with to collect items. Further, we get a chance to see how players will navigate the dark halls and the creatures that aim to scare the hell out of them.

This new game will differ from previous entries since this outing is set in a semi-open world, letting players choose their playstyle and explore at their leisure with few scripted events.

In addition, the sandbox environmental incorporation aims to significantly amplify tension, with a constantly looming threat making each moment-to-moment choice matter more than ever before—enhanced lighting and carefully designed sound effects aid in elevating the tone as well.

Further, player choice is emphasized by objects, threats, and resources changing across every playthrough, alongside tool handling and multiple solutions to intricate puzzles.

The main character is a French soldier armed with a revolver gun and a noisy dynamo flashlight as he walks across a poorly lit World War I bunker. And as if that weren’t enough, he fittingly suffers from amnesia while being hunted by some manner of otherworldly monstrosity.
