Amnesia: The Dark Descent is Released!

Not too long ago, I actually wondered if there ever would be a release. However, today I am proud to say that Amnesia: The Dark Descent is finally released!

If that is all you need to know, go and get the game at one of the following places:
Our own store (windows, linux & mac)
Steam (windows & mac)
GamersGate (windows & mac)
Direct2Drive (windows)
ImpulseDriven (windows)

The game has been in the making for exactly 3 years now (first document is dated 8th sept 07) and it has been quite the journey. The design has been changed countless times and we have been very close running out of money a few times. Somehow, due to successful sales and salary cut we have managed to get through it though. This makes it extra rewarding to have the game finally out.

Even more rewarding is the extremely nice press response! Some example:
“Few games are able to conjure up an atmosphere this genuinely frightening.”
- IGN

“Despite its title, Amnesia remembers what the blockbusters of survival horror seem to have forgotten: how to horrify.”
- PC Gamer UK

“I think it is safe to say that Amnesia is the most successfully frightening game to have been made.”
- Rock Paper Shotgun

“I must say Amnesia is a masterpiece of horror, something surely all other horror games could take from and in some senses, strive to be.”
- NeoSeeker

Player reactions have also seemed quite positive and we now eagerly await your thoughts on the full game!

Big thanks to everybody have supported us over the years. We hope you all will enjoy Amnesia and have a really dark descent!

And as always, please help spread the word! Reddit, Digg, Facebook and whatnot!
