Amnesia Book/Short Story?

Is there an "official" novella/short story (or even a fanfic one that's very close to the cannon) of the game? I finished the game a little while ago and love the story, would enjoy reading it if its available.

If not I'll just add it to my list of video game worlds i wish there were novels/stories based in.

It *is* the story it is based on. It's intended to be experienced as a game.

Well yes I know that.....very effective too, when I got to the "prison" level I said "screw that I need to build my courage before continuing"....in other words exactly what I wanted from the experience. However I was curious if anyone had put it into the pure-text medium, like the Planescape: Torment novel did for the game (which I just bought, finished, and now going to read the book).

However you gotta admit, an ancillary short short would be neat....I'm not talking about an "explaining" one, but lets say a story from the POV of one of the people that end up being bodies there.

I'm just saying I want to experience more of this wonderful world that FricGames has made.....same for the Penumbra games. Like if they had a open-submittal-request for short stories inspired by Penumbra/Amnesia....I would buy the end product (book). Hey, possible new revenue stream!

Sounds like you want fanfics. I think the closest you're going to get is the comic made by forumite Mafer, or the custom stories made via the editor.

Well yes that is what I am looking for. Periodically a collection of "Short Stories inspired by HP Lovecraft" commissioned by the editor/publisher appears at my local bookstore and I always pick it up. I am honestly being demanding here - I do enjoy Mafers work and I would love to see more. I would love to read....say off the top of my head a Ramsey Campbell short story based in one of the Frictional worlds.
