Frictional Deep Dives Into ‘Amnesia: The Bunker’ Gameplay With New Video [Watch]
With Amnesia: The Bunker releasing next week, developer Frictional has released a new Developer Diary that details The Bunker‘s gameplay. In addition to the gameplay overview, Fredrik Olsson, the Creative Lead of Amnesia: The Bunker, gives fans a glimpse into the game’s future with some behind-the-scenes insights into Frictional’s post-release plans.
In this three-part video series, Olsson dives into the heart of The Bunker, spotlighting the game’s crucial elements of experimentation, difficulty adjustments, and replayability. Olsson guides players through how this new installment in the Amnesia series is designed to be played, highlighting the various difficulty levels the development team has crafted to “suit a diverse range of players and gameplay styles.”
It all culminates on June 6, when Amnesia: The Bunker will arrive for the Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. If you still can’t wait that long, you can always give the game’s demo a spin, which is still very much available on Steam.
Set during World War 1, Amnesia: The Bunker will have players taking on the role of Henri Clement, a French soldier who is left behind by his battalion and finds himself trapped inside an abandoned military bunker. But he’s not alone. A deadly creature stalks the corridors, hunting for its next meal.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
