Over the past few years, I’ve become a huge fan of horror games. In horror games, I become the character in trouble. I see what he sees. I control his reactions. I make the decisions. I can get into it on a personal level, and the latest game I’ve gotten into is Amnesia: The Dark Descent, from Frictional Games. If it’s scares you want, Amnesia will provide them, rest assured. It may let you down in a couple of other areas, but it’s a complete success as a horror game.

Frictional Games has announced that Amnesia: The Dark Descent—a first-person horror game with a focus on immersion—is now available for instant download. Unlike most horror games that toss a few scares around a whole lot of action, Amnesia instead focuses on story and atmosphere. I’ve been playing this game for a week now, and I can say the tension and scares come quickly and frequently.

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.

It’s very rare that we ever post press releases in their entirety here at Appletell. But this one is just so disturbing, so unsettling, that none of us here are willing to spend enough time in to edit it down. In fact, it took us over two weeks to even get up the courage to post it. Read on, dear Mac gamers, and behold the terror that is (or will be on October 8th) Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Searching for a decent Mac games these days may be a dark decent of its own, but Fricitional Games, creators of the Penumbra series, wants to make it even scarier. Today, the company is offering gamers their first look at actual in-game footage from their brand new horror game, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, due in August for the Mac, PC and Linux. They’re pre-orders now, and if they hit 2,000 by May 31st, the game will get extra content.
