Amnesia: The Bunker has received a new trailer. Although the half-minute teaser does not disclose much, the suspense and anxiety flowing from its visual aesthetic and unsettling soundscape are evident. Fans of the franchise, who are already anxious to get their hands on Amnesia: The Bunker, need nothing more to be excited about the game’s impending release.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Frictional Game’s debut chapter in the series, was released in 2010 to critical acclaim, with reviewers calling the new survival horror IP one of the scariest games of all time. It was regarded as such a terrifying experience that players would almost dare one another to try. Sections of the game, such as the sewers or the refinery, became famous among horror aficionados because players couldn’t calm down enough to go through them. Frictional Games would allow The Chinese Room to work on the next instalment of the series as they worked on the psychological horror game Soma. Fans were less enthusiastic about Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Frictional Games would take up the reins for its 2020 Amnesia: Rebirth, which was viewed as a return to form for the series, but with a lower ceiling than its predecessor.
The fourth gameplay trailer for Amnesia: The Bunker has been released since the game’s introduction at the end of November. The protagonist of the game, set during World War One, delves through a dark and decaying network of subterranean bunkers. This latest teaser pans menacingly toward a hole in a concrete wall that looks to have been excavated by some hideous thing, whose restless, gravelly snarl can be heard as the film fades to dark. Exhausted artillery round casings, blood-stained concrete flooring, and an abandoned, period-appropriate helmet with half of its owner’s brains still inside are among the items in the dust-covered chamber. The distant sound of howling winds and the thrum of machinery add to the trailer’s eerie atmosphere.

March 2023 cannot arrive soon enough for fans of Frictional Games and the Amnesia franchise. Amnesia: The Bunker is building out to be a spine-chilling addition to the survival horror genre, and the strategy of releasing short, contextless vignettes of the game is a brilliant way to pique curiosity without revealing the horrors that lay beneath.
