Frictional Games talks about their secret project

[Ghieri]

true, but, as Amnesia came out 2 years ago, how do we know how long there next game has been in developement? for all we know, it could have been in development since just after amnesia came out, heck, it may have been in development BEFORE Amnesia went Gold... (companies have been known to do that),. for all we know, it could have already been in development for 2 to 3 years already, meaning it may have had up to 5 years of gestation before it gets released.

Haven't thought about that. Something tells me that they didn't start until after Amnesia, because Thomas expressed regrets about releasing a game that didn't have any deep meaning to it. Seems logical that regret could have sparked the latest project. Meaning it probably started development shortly after Amnesia's great reception.(After which Frictional had the financial means to support their staff comfortably, and more leeway in what projects they could do.)

Just my conclusion. I have no proof but it seems logical.
