There is the culprit.. the Intel GMA graphics chip. Officially those are not supported by Amneisa. but *may* work if the drivers get fixed by Apple. Which version of Mac OS X are you running?? Snow Leopard or Lion?

Could it be I do not have a video card?

You have a graphics card, and it is built-in, and it is an Intel GMA Graphics chip, which is not supported.

If you are running Leopard or Snow Leopard the drivers are too old to support Amnesia, and if you have Lion they *should* work according to apple's documentation.

It "may" work? D: Why would it not fully work?

I wanted to ask,there is an update I can get of Lion for my Mac. If I got it,would it update everything,meaning also my graphics card?

It would not be recommend to try and play Amnesia on this computer, even if the game did manage to work it would be awful slow as the graphics card you have is far below the specified requierments for the game.

But it could possibly work if I downloaded Lion correct?

It would possibly work if you purchased lion, but no guarantee. Searching the forums looks as though there are a lot of people not having luck with it, even on Windows.
