‘Silent Hill: Respite’ Mod For ‘Amnesia’ Reminds Us of Better Days
Seeing as Frictional Games’ Amnesia: The Dark Descent recently hit the big one-oh, and at the same time, Konami decided to give Metal Gear Solid fans some love (and once again neglecting Silent Hill fans), why not put ’em together? That’s exactly what you get in the recently-released mod for Amnesia in Silent Hill: Respite.
Created by TrollForce as a tribute to Team Silent “and the titles that they have made during their time at Konami from 1996 to 2005”, Silent Hill: Respite takes place in the Cafe 5to2 from the original Silent Hill (the cafe where Harry Wakes up at the beginning of the game). In spite of that, the mod drops several references to the first four games in the series “to show what the series has meant to the community”.
In the video below, TrollForce goes over the makings of the mod, including future updates for the mod. Speaking of which, the mod will see an update for Halloween, and an eventual expansion around Christmas. Until Konami gets their act together and finally addresses the shenanigans that have been going on, once again, it’s the fans who are here to rescue us.
The latest entry in the Amnesia series, Amnesia: Rebirth, is set to release on October 20 for PS4 and PC.
Props to DreadXP for this.

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
