I'm not sure if this is the right forum for the game but gamersgate has it on preorder for 17.95 for anyone that interested.

Its the same developers as the Penumbra series.

eek
Here you can take a look at the teaser from the game. Amnesia Video

A first look at the game make me feel it's even better and buuuuuuuu(ghostly) than the Penumbra games.

Cheers

Hmm. I couldn't pull it up. There are a bunch of videos but not that one.

Edited to say this is the message on screen:

After reading the previews and also on earlier threads on this game already in the DarkSide, I am moving this to that forum.

Just a heads up to let you guys know that the demo is out for this game and I'm looking forward to it.

http://www.gamershell.com/download_63078_start.html?17:13:47

Make sure you use the Windows link on the left unless you're using Linux, as that's what I just didn't and couldn't open the file. Duh!

Demo of survival horror “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” released!



Helsingborg, Sweden, 03/9 – 2010
Today Frictional Games, the makers of the Penumbra series, has released a demo for their upcoming first person survival horror “Amnesia: The Dark Descent”. Players with Windows, Macor Linux all get a chance to experience a small slice of the dread and terror contained in the full game.

The game begins with Daniel awakening in a desolate Prussian castle, without any memories to explain his situation. A letter written by himself, reveals that the amnesia is actually self-inflicted.

The mysterious message urges him to seek out and kill Alexander, a man residing deep below the castle. Hunted by a dark shadow, Daniel can see no other way out than to trust his former self. If he is to save his life and mind, he needs to find out what it is all really about. It is his only hope for salvation. A dark descent awaits.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a first person horror game with focus on immersion. It is a game where atmosphere and story comes first. Amnesia will be released on the 8th of September and can be purchased in Frictional Game's own online store as well as most major online retailers.

We would also like to seize the opportunity and inform all that there is a 10% discount on Amnesia if you pre-order. For those who are longing for some horror gaming this weekend, the Penumbra series costs 70% less in our own store (store.frictionalgames.com) and at GamersGate!!

About Demo
The demo can be downloaded from www.AmnesiaGame.com where it is available as both a direct download and as a torrent.

Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X & Linux.
Languages: English - with localized text for French, German, Italian & Spanish.
Recommended Computer Specifications:

Windows XP/Vista/7, OS X 10.5.8/10.6.4 or Linux distribution released in 2010.
NVIDIA GeForce 6 / ATI Radeon HD.
2.0 Ghz CPU.
1 - 2 GB RAM (depends on OS).
500mb of free disk space.

That's great news Ana happydance I'm goin in for that download.

The demo was creepy eek and I thought it seems easier than the other Penumbra demo's, of course I know the controls from having played the first two games. Looking forward to playing the full version when its comes out next week.

Looks interesting: it had some actiony moments . Dark atmosphere stuff, which is not a bad thing.

Steam has it as a pre-order for 14.99.

Come on L4L you can do it, its creepy but fun.

mdd,I'm getting mine from Frictional games, they sent me an email for 10% off, I'm pretty sure that it's a download though. Haven't heard of a boxed version yet.

I am playing the Demo, I seem to have the same problems as in Penumbra with the controls, for example - I cannot stand a chair that is lying on the floor, there is a video "Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Getting Cosy" where a chair is not only made to stand but rotated in the air. How is this done? No matter in which direction I move the mouse I can only get up and down or side to side movements.
