Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

As the reviews are coming in (all great, congratulations!), reddit is overrun by Amnesia threads.. my god there's 3 of them now at the frontpage

It's the third on the Top Sellers tab on Steam. I think/hope that'll get a lot of exposure

It's on the First Steam Top Sellers tab now!

Two links i've seen today that are worth spreading around:

Quote:That this was made by a five-man team who built their own engine is bewildering. At around ten hours long, that it’s £13 (and discounted currently to pre-order for tomorrow’s release on Steam, GamersGate, and presumably elsewhere) is amazing value. If you pre-ordered it, you can start pre-loading now via Frictional’s site. I cannot recommend it enough. So long as you don’t mind being utterly bloody terrified.

Quote:The game’s been rather a financial struggle for the small independent developer, whose previous game – the three-part Penumbra series – was something of an overlooked gem. “We have had to cut salaries almost in half – and they were low to start with,” said Grip. And the troubles aren’t over just because the game’s finished: “Our future as a company depends on this game not flopping, so plenty of butterflies in the stomach.”

Updated digg and reddit links!

Just release the game. It's the 8th already in some countries. Ahhhhhh.

There, I sent a message to my favorite game review website (jeuxvideo.com in french) putting some pressure for them to review Amnesia as quickly as possible! Hope this grain of sand will help you guys at FG a bit, for what I'm concerned, you deserve to make more than just enough to break even, all I hope is you get a ton of dough for some nice hoilidays and to reinvest in your next atmospheric adventure game!
All the best to you FG!

here's what I sent:
Bonjour la rédaction,

Je me permet de vous envoyer ce petit message pour vous faire part de mon chapeau bas. Cela fait 10 ans que je vous lis très régulièrement,et votre passion pour l'univers des jeux videos semble toujours intact. Le plus souvent vous soutenez par vos critiques l'innovation dans le jeuxvideo contre la repompe et la paresse, si les éditeurs font encore quelques efforts pour soutenir des projets originaux, c'est grace a vous. Cependant, avec la masse des nouvelles productions, il est parfois difficile de discerner le diamand du charbon. Ainsi,autant vous m'avez fait connaitre la série Penumbra,autant je recommande chaudement le nouveaux né du petit studio suédois appelé AMNESIA:THE DARK DESCENT. Non seulement il a une approche originale au genre "survival horror", mais réussit la ou tous les autres ont échoués depuis Silent Hill 2, créer un atmosphère oppressante crédible sans scènes d'actions a outrance.

En espérant lire très bientot ce que vous en pensez, je vous salue respectueusement (chapeau bas!)

I also wrote to a Polish game blog to make them aware of the game and hopefully to review it:
