The game is a download.

With one purchase you redownload the installer as many times as you want, for Mac, Linux and Windows of course.

Your system is sufficient processor-wise, but please post your graphics card for further assessment!

The custom stories are most of the time 'extended' Amnesia gameplay, you get the sets the developers worked with and you'd have to be extra creative to accomplish something vastly different from the real game.

i downloaded the demo came up with Fatal error rederer #0 could not be initialized make sure your graphic card drivers are up to date check log file for more information

when i load up the demo in the general tab on start up it reads the video device as intel 965/963 graphics media accelerator

im using a Compaq 6710b (notebook)

is there a way i can fix this error?

You will want to ask this in tech support and post your hpl.log file. However, the majority of bugs are fixed with a driver update, try that.

Sorry, but integrated intel graphics are known to cause problems, and being that OLD I see no chances on making the game run on your computer.
