Frictional Games has just released a new Adventure Mode for its horror game Amnesia: Rebirth (on PC; PlayStation owners will get in the next few weeks). The mode removes all life-threatening encounters with monsters and it also eases up on the visual and sound effects that would regularly affect the fear level of protagonist Tasi Trianon.
The environments are also better lit, which should ease up any claustrophobia issues for players. On the other hand, Adventure Mode does add a number of bonus puzzles that should make the game feel more like a ‘Lovecraftian mystery adventure novel’.
Fredrik Olsson, Frictional’s Creative Lead on Amnesia Rebirth, said:
To celebrate this addition, Amnesia: Rebirth is now 40% off on Steam, GOG.com, and Epic Games Store, which means that the game’s price is down to €14.99.
We believe that anyone who loves a good story-driven adventure game will be stoked about this new mode. Not everyone is into horror and we don’t want that to block people from experiencing Tasi’s story. We did something very similar when we released the Safe mode for SOMA. It was extremely well received and opened up the game to a much broader audience, something we hope will happen with Amnesia: Rebirth as well.
Francesco rated the horror title 8 out of 10 in Wccftech’s review.
