Like The Dark Descent, this is a game driven by its story, exploration of the world and the constantįear of the unknown. The house is silent, the ground beneath him shaking at the will of some infernal machine:Īll he knows is that his children are in grave peril, and it is up to him to save them. Tortured by visions of a disastrous expedition to Mexico, broken on theįailing dreams of an industrial utopia, wracked with guilt and tropical disease, he wakes into a Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus awakes in his bed, wracked with fever and haunted by dreams Created in collaboration with The Chinese Room, the studio behind Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is an intense and terrifying journey into the heart of darkness Its pixelated style is drop-dead gorgeous, but don't let it fool you - Kingdom: New Lands is an easy-to-pick-up-hard-to-master strategy game that you have to play to believe.In 2010 Frictional Games terrified the world with the cult horror Amnesia: A Dark Descent. The second freebie is Kingdom: New Lands, and if you missed it the first time Epic Games gave it away, do yourself a favour and download it right away. Once you do, we guarantee you'll have a great time and probably keep thinking about it for a while after you finish, which we've come to expect from Frictional. Thankfully, Frictional recognised the quality of the then-experimental mod and expanded it to be an entire game.Īnd what a game it is, although you'd do well to consider that Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs launched in 2013 and adjust your expectations accordingly. Interestingly enough, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs was developed by The Chinese Room, who created it as a mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. In short, the "horror" moniker really doesn't do it justice.
We're talking about the suspense-building, atmospheric, emotional rollercoasters that tend to leave you thinking for days after you finish them. Now, Frictional Games are almost synonymous with the horror genre, and we're not talking about jump-scare horror stuff.
