Marketing for Amnesia - derailed3 - 09-19-2010
I feel that Amnesia was poorly marketed and should have a second run at a release. This release should focus on the extremely positive critical feedback received as well as feedback from individual gamers. An example would be to have a short 30-second promo with quotes interwoven such as the following:
"One of the scariest games in recent memory." - IGN
"Incredibly terrifying" -Computergames.ro
"Nightmarishly, unrelentingly scary" -Adventuregamers.com
"...by far the best horror game we've played." -Gamerlimit
"An experience you won't soon forget" -ElderGeek.com
"Absolute fear... Unforgettable" -Gameobserver
"Goosebumps guaranteed" -4players.de
As a gamer, such quotes would instantly pique my interest and I would investigate further. Finding that such a game only cost US$20, a purchase is not that far-fetched. I don't see any such mention of critical feedback in any type of advertisements or even descriptions of the game.
FORUM DENIZENS:
How do you think Frictional could increase the number of sales of their CURRENT product (do not suggest modifications to the game). I feel that this talented group of individuals deserve runaway success and not the moderate success that they've been afforded. All that they need is *consumer awareness*.
Anyways --
Much love.

Getting a retail release (cd) out in the States would do wonders.

I don't know the statistics about the customers who bought this game, but I think Frictional Games deservers more money.
Just think about their absolutely great customer service if anyone has a problem with the game (like Thomas, who bought another GPU just for making the game playable for a few ppl like me!).
I hope there will be a lot more people who buy their games.
