The survival-horror game from 2010 can be obtained for free via the Epic Games Store, but it’s not a typical free game offered by Epic Games or the Epic Games Store. Instead, it’s available through Prime Gaming. To claim this offer, you must have an Epic Games account and an Amazon Prime subscription on your PC. The deal is valid until August 11 (up to the first second of August 12), after which it will expire. If you miss the deadline, you’ll need to pay $20 to own this survival-horror game on PC.
The survival-horror game, notably referred to as Amnesia: The Dark Descent, initially gained prominence as a PC exclusive during the Xbox 360 and PS3 era but didn’t release on these platforms until later. It was first released on PC in 2010, then ported to PS4 in 2016, Xbox One in 2018, and Nintendo Switch in 2019. At that time, Amnesia: The Dark Descent was one of the early successes in the indie game market, a sector that was still establishing itself. Today, successful indie games are commonplace, but back then they were rare. Amnesia’s popularity can be attributed to its viral success during the “Let’s Play” era on YouTube. If you haven’t figured it out yet, Amnesia: The Dark Descent is the survival-horror game that Frictional Games is still recognized for in the gaming industry.
Three years following the launch of “Amnesia: The Dark Descent,” a critically acclaimed game with impressive sales, a sequel titled “Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs” was released in 2013 by a different developer, The Chinese Room. This was followed by “Amnesia: Rebirth” in 2020, marking Frictional Games’ return to the series. The latest addition to the series, “Amnesia: The Bunker,” was also developed by Frictional Games and released in 2023.
In Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a chilling first-person survival horror game, you find yourself disoriented with fragmented memories and a sense of being pursued. As darkness envelops your recollections, you are compelled to flee. Awake and lost in the labyrinthine corridors, the ominous cries echo nearby, growing ever closer.
Individuals opting to play “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” for free on their PC through Prime Gaming can anticipate investing around eight hours to complete the main storyline of this horror game. However, if they aim for a comprehensive experience, their time commitment could extend up to twelve hours.
