Amnesia: The Bunker is a first-person horror game from the makers of SOMA and Amnesia.

RISING TENSION
Immerse yourself in the multiple ways of tackling survival. In the shoes of the French soldier Henri Clément, you are armed with a revolver gun, a noisy dynamo flashlight, and other scarce supplies to scavenge and craft along the way. With randomization and unpredictable behavior, no play-through is the same.
Hunted by an ever-present threat reacting to your every move and sound, you must adapt your play-style to face hell. Every decision will change the outcome of how the game responds. Actions bear consequences.
ESCAPING THE NIGHTMARE
Solve things your own way in a semi-open world. You must explore and experiment to make your way out. Figure out what’s going on down here - what has happened to the other soldiers? Where have all the officers gone? What diabolical nightmare lurks underneath this hellscape? Unravel the mysteries of the Bunker and get to know the nooks and crannies of this cruel sandbox to up your odds of survival.

Aside from a few cool sequences and pretty good atmosphere and setting (best part of the game imo), it did not impress me. Main monster's behaviour seemed inconsistent to the point of feeling like a pure bs at times, which just kinda made it a poor man's Alien Isolation for me. It didn't feel like a living, 'thinking' being, but rather a video game entity, that is heavily scripted, spawning at the exact locations that felt convenient to create a specific scenario, and it kinda ruined the game for me.
No Linux version this time, it seems. That alone justifies a low score. Although game runs reasonably well with Wine/Proton at high graphic detail (tested on Lutris with GE-Proton-8.8, on Steam it's certified for SteamPlay), there's an important glitch due probably to emulation. And it is character's hands. There's plenty of captures and videos out there already. Considering you spend a good amount of time with hands visible on screen, it's quite irritating. So I recommend waiting for this to be solved (with either a specific patched Wine version or by developer's intervention) before jumping in.
