Users of the Epic Games Store are currently being offered a free horror game from 15 years ago, thanks to Prime Gaming. This offer is available only to those who have an Amazon Prime subscription. If you’re on PC and have an active Amazon Prime membership, you can claim a free EGS code for this frightening game until August 11. In essence, PC users have around 23 days left to take advantage of this limited-time offer.
The horror game under discussion is Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which was released in 2010. This was the first game from Frictional Games, a previously unknown Swedish studio, that catapulted them into prominence. Since then, there have been three sequels: Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (released in 2013), Amnesia: Rebirth (2020), and Amnesia: The Bunker (2023). To this day, the original game is the most recognized and commercially successful title within the survival-horror series. Its popularity can be attributed to its viral success during the height of Let’s Play videos on YouTube, with popular YouTubers like PewDiePie creating viral content playing it.
In 2010, it was well-received upon its release, with a Metacritic score of 85 showing this. Additionally, it paved the way in the indie horror genre and continues to be popular even 15 years later. Notably, the Steam version has the highest rating possible for PC games, “Overwhelmingly Positive.” This impressive rating is due to a whopping 95% approval from over 20,000 user reviews on Steam.
In ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent’, you’re plunged into a first-person survival horror game, immersing yourself in a chilling nightmare. As memories disappear and fear takes over, your only goal becomes escaping. The game emphasizes discovery and living through terror. You wander through tight corridors, hearing distant cries that grow ever nearer.
Individuals opting for this deal can anticipate spending around 8 to 12 hours immersed in the survival horror game, with the duration varying based on personal play style and completion pace.
