Update?

[p0rtalthinker]

Hey guys,

Just registered here after reading all 18 pages of this thread, and I gotta say these last few updates been pretty exciting to say the least. DLC incoming or is it all just an April fools joke? What do the glyphs mean? New sound files, notes, etc. Lots of which have already been discovered here. needless to say, I'm working as hard as you guys to uncovering the password for the RAR files. Currently playing through the game for the third time since the potato update; searching for clues on the most recent nuggets of info that's been uncovered.

Since it's my first post as well (and I didn't see an introduction thread anywhere) I figured this is as good of a place as any to say a few things about myself. I'm a hardcore PC gamer indoctrinated at an early age, and play most of my games exclusively through Steam. I normally don't play a lot of indie titles but in the past year I've gravitated towards them more and more, while at the same time playing some AAA titles.

The first time I'd heard of Frictional Games and Amnesia was when Game Informer reviewed the title, and once I'd heard the main plot details soon enough i'd started hearing about how damned scarey it was from the games industry everywhere; mainly podcasts like Weekend Confirmed, Bombcast, and others. I wasn't a huge fan of horror games (FEAR was about the limits I wanted to take myself) but the high praise and title as "The Most Terrifying And Scary Game You'll Ever Play" made me go ahead and take a leap of faith, putting down the 20 bucks and hoping for the best.

Needless to say, I was quite impressed. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is without a doubt one of the most unique and amazing games I've played to date. It definitely earns its title, and I just love the level of immersion and little details Friction Games have put into Amnesia; from the simple but effective mouse interaction, to the sound and art design has earned it and this Swedish (?) development team a special place in my heart.

But look at me, preaching to the choir and babbling on and on about a game everyone here's already played to death, no doubt! I'll keep you guys updated if I find anything unusual or new that I come across...

Keep making awesome games,
