Amnesia as a franchise or series of games.

[Alex Ros]

Just a little bit of considerations out loud, not a call to action. Yeah, the text below does not means that anyone, especially me personally is going work and do something. It's just me and my broad speculations on how it might be and might be not, I mean the possible continuation of the Amnesia series or franchise.

60 years passed since the events of a Machine for Pigs and 1959 is being celebrated. The Brennenburg castle is far long razed to the ground and buried deep underground somewhere in the in today's northeastern Poland. There's no tiny village of Altstadt left, because of frightening events of 1839. However, who knows, it may be just the bloody World War with eagles of fascism, which finally transformed Altstadt into a deserted place. Anyway, once inhabited region amid the woods has turned into an uninhabited endless woodlands.

Just as simple and straightforward as I could imagine, the archaeological excavation is already started. Obviously we play the role of one of the members of the expedition Thoden Graber, nothing real special. The upper part of the castle is already excavated and by observation of the remains of walls it's possible to make a schematic layout of ruined interiors.

A little bit of information to the background of such a unique "excavation" storyline. Quite a modest group of archaeologists, 6 maybe 8 people, is sponsored by someone "behind the curtains" under the name of Aira Phyrite. There's absolutely nothing wrong or just strange with that "behind the curtains" connoisseur of antiquities. He's a well known old american businessman, who is not obsessed with antiquities, not a fanatic, just a usual philanthropist.

The story begins when our protagonist Thoden Graber accidentally falls into a yet unexplored dungeon and, surely, loses his memory. What an exclusively new unexpected plot twist for a supposedly horror story! But that dungeon leads into the system of the natural caves, not into the lower sections of the ruined Brennenburg castle. Somewhere in that stone labyrinth of caverns there's an undertow, we can hear the sound of the streaming water. Perhaps, that undertow might lead to the surface. It should be true, cause someone has already been there and already passed this way. Perhaps, that is a way which Daniel have passed in order to leave collapsed castle and completely ruined lower chambers of the Brennenburg castle... just an opportunity to tell how exactly Daniel left the destroyed castle. And and it does not necessary to take advantage of this opportunity.
