Amnesia: The Dark Descent goes gold for Mac, PC

Swedish game developer Frictional Games announced late last week that Amnesia: The Dark Descent has gone gold, and will ship on the 8th of September. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a first person horror game with a focus on immersion. Frictional Games feels they have taken a giant leap forward compared to their previous titles: the Penumbra series.

Of course, the first point I must raise is that if you’re suffering from amnesia, it’s always wise to not descend into anything. But here we are, immersing ourselves in a first person horror game with a focus on immersion. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a game where atmosphere and story come first. Frictional Games hopes Amensia will be a breeze of fresh air in the horror genre, which is otherwise populated by “one-man-army action hero” sagas. In Amnesia you are almost completely defenseless, something they believe not only makes the game a lot scarier, but also gives a vastly different experience.

Do you have what it takes to survive? Specifically, a PC running Windows XP/Vista/7, a Mac running Mac OS X v10.5.8/10.6.4, or Linux distribution released in 2010? Do you also have an NVIDIA GeForce 6 / ATI Radeon HD, 2.0GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, and 2.5GB Free hard disk space? Then maybe you do have what it takes to survive.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is available in U.S. English with localized text for French, German, Italian and Spanish. The game will be available on the 8th of September for only $20 (USD).
