Have you ever been trapped in a nightmare?

Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a gripping first-person perspective horror story full of mystery, darkness, and demons lurking in the shadows inducing a constant sense of dread, is available 75% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 only for the first 48 hours, to get your DRM-free copy!

Thousands of pages have been written on the anatomy of fear. It's one of the most basic emotions shaping the human psyche and dictating our actions. But how many of us actually know fear? Not the tingling sensation that something's wrong and you should be worried, but actual terror that's caused by constant, lethal, and very real, yet unfamiliar threat. This is a game that, according to many, comes as close to inducing that state, as possible for a computer game. Praised for its gripping atmosphere, perfect pacing, and involving gameplay, it's one of the most prominent--in not the most prominent--modern achievements in terror fiction.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent puts you in a situation with no escape and the only thing you can do is to push forward, deeper into the nightmare that's becoming more morbid and terrifying by the minute. You will find yourself exploring a half-ruined castle, that witnessed many acts of madness and inhumane cruelty. Deprived of all memories, hunted by spawns of evil, forced to behold sights that shatter your sanity, you will venture into the darkness with no real hope of ever emerging victorious. Mixing a fascinating story, terrifying setting, and well-executed design, this title deserves a place in every horror fan collection.

Are you ready to inject your mind with an excess dose of poisonous terrors? Empty your bladder, switch off the lights, put on your headphones, and throw yourself head-first into Amnesia: The Dark Descent, for only $4.99 on GOG.com. The 75% discount offer lasts until Saturday, July 27, at 9:59AM GMT.
Awesome news. Hope this gets some GOGers to play it that haven't already.

I loved this game, so I won't complain. But it's a tad redundant seeing as the game has been available everywhere DRM-free for ages.
About time - I was wondering why it wasn't here already.
Have it on Steam via the ancient HiB V. Havent played it yet...

Isn't there a sequel to this in the works?

Also, what about Penumbra on GOG?
Finally on GOG! Is it comes with Amnesia: Justine DLC?

Thanks for information. I didn't see mention on game card page.
I bought it too as I was always curious about this game.
Now on to see if I will soil my pants. =P

Nice discount too by the way. =)

Smannesman: What is this amazing new game I have never heard of or seen before?
You never cease to amaze me GOG.

Fred_DM: this. there are about a hundred places where you can already buy this. GOG's now the 101st.
Unfortunately, yeeaaaaahhhhh.

I mean, this is definitely an important, good game for those that love the genre. I believe history will remember this title as one that helped revive and popularize weaponless survival-horror.

But everyone who wants it has bought it already from a ton of different places, DRM-free. Heck, I got it in Humble Bundle 5 or 6 with no intention of playing it! It deserves a place here if GOG will really help it survive the ages, but the only release today, one that surely didn't need much compatibility work done? Can I again chalk this up to a Lazy Summer when the staff are taking time off?

I can't help but be a little disappointed. Two old games last week was nice, but I would have preferred one last week and one this week.

EDIT: I guess the 75% discount is meant to entice people, and give a temporary "fresh" view on it.

Another ex-Humble game? It gives the impression that GOG is where indie games go after they've been bundled to death.
Get this if you want disturbing nightmares for weeks - I mean that in a good way...

I can't wait for AMFP to finally be released :o
Cool I guess. Really boring game if you ask me, it's way below what it's hyped up to be.

It's an adventure game, it's about solving puzzles. The first-person view and snazzy graphics deceived many people thinking it would be an action game.

The game is gonna be boring if you wander around looking for something to kill
