The next Amnesia game is something new for the series: a horror immersive sim with non-linear objectives, a micro open world, and exactly one gun. Our hands-on preview:

For years I deftly evaded playing an Amnesia game for the benefit of my brain. I don't like being terrified by videogames , but a few years ago I told a friend I hadn't played The Dark Descent and he got really excited by the idea of watching me play it, so I gave in. When the lights were on, I loved the little things that still stand out about Amnesia—the analog feel of pulling doors and drawers open, the ornate puzzles, the creepy teeth clattering.

Then I heard the newest Amnesia sequel—Amnesia: The Bunker—has a gun, and I just had to see what that's about. I've always understood the unspoken rule of Amnesia games to be a constant state of defenselessness. How can Amnesia still be Amnesia when you have the hardware to fight back? After playing an hour-long demo of Amnesia: The Bunker during GDC 2023, I learned that, actually, you don't. The gun is more tool than weapon, and it's just one way to solve problems in The Bunker's micro open world. This is not Amnesia trying to be Resident Evil; this is Amnesia inching toward the player agency and emergent gameplay of a full-blown immersive sim.

You should also know that Amnesia: The Bunker is a smaller game than its predecessors and designed to be played multiple times. You're in the boots of a French WW1 soldier who can't remember the last several days. The titular bunker is the entire game world, and your only goal is to escape. My demo was a lot of fun, even if it ended in disaster.
