Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

As far as I can tell no one has asked this one so here it is: Will there be a midnight release/activation on your store and if so what timezone will it be set to? Will it be localized to the timezone of the buyer?

The keys will be released on Tuesday evening our time, that is gmt +1. The downloads in our store will become active on Wednesday around midday our time. The rest of the services I think launch the game when they begin their work days, which is 6-8 hours after us as they are all US based.

Thanks for the info Jens!

I'm about to go crazy and scream "I want to play Amnesia!!!111" in the streets while running.

Quickly find yourself a cave/castle/basement/etc to explore in real life. Talk to the voices in your head while doing so. Continue until; a) death by unfathomable horrors. b) insane c) Amnesia is available to play.

So...
That means I can start downloading it on Steam tuesday night (I'm in Italy), right?

No. The steam unlock is the steam unlock and unlocks whenever it says on this page:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/57300/
Before that the key will just add the game to your account.

The steam unlock time for EU is at Wednesday around 7pm. So you probably want to download it from the shelf earlier.

Right, forgot about that. Oh well.
