Unfortunately, your torch is one of the wind up variety, and so you have to sacrifice a stealthy approach if you want to shine some light on the situation, so to speak. You also have very little to defend yourself with. You’re seemingly trapped, alone and have no idea where to go. Arguably, it’s the first hour or so which proves to be the most terrifying. So many elements lend themselves to the horror genre, and there’s an incredibly strong theme of isolation which runs through the game. With a seemingly wide and explorable bunker, with plenty of environmental puzzles involving your revolver, grenades, explosive barrels on top of mechanism based one, in a randomly generated environment with different approaches for solving them, The Bunker seems to offer a new experience in the Amnesia series, hopefully one that can also deliver not only in the execution but also on the story side, as Amnesia has always remained a lore extensive series, hoping to read more about the Other World, which has always been at the center of the series.I must say, it’s a brilliant setting for an Amnesia game. The game is definitely a strong deviation from the original formula, but unlike the other titles it seems to retain the strong feeling of dread of being hunted, this time it’s for real and not in the player’s mind. With The Bunker, set during the 1st World War and 20 years before the events in Rebirth, we’ll take the role of the French soldier Henri Clément, who suddenly find himself trapped in an isolated bunker with his dynamo flashlight and a revolver with a single ammo left to help him explore and find a way out.īut things aren’t exactly normal, there’s something lurking around in the bunker.


Initially expected to be released in March and now moved to the 16th of May, Amnesia The Bunker is the latest entry in the genre defining Amnesia series, a series of first person horror story driven games that has shaped and revolutionized the horror genre as story telling, with the beloved and still highly regarded Dark Descent, a mild reception with Machine for Pigs (by a different developer) and ultimately a rather lukewarm reception from Rebirth.
