Regarding an inventory, from what we've seen so far in the preview videos and articles, the player does collect/keep some items (rather than simply pick them up using the grab function) and the items will automatically appear on-screen when the player needs them. It also appears to be the case that you can check which items you've collected using a hotkey (see here), but as far as I know we haven't seen what this looks like yet.

My interpretation of all this is, we don't have an "active" inventory in which we can select or combine items like the one in Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Rather, we simply have a checklist of collected items we can consult, with the items being "selected" for us depending on where we are in the game's world.
