Despite acouple of delays, Frictional Games finally releasedAmnesia: The Bunkerin June, representing a return to form in the iconicAmnesiaseries. Now, get ready for an even tougher time in this WW1 setting, as an even tougher difficulty mode is on the way.
According to Creative LeadFredrik Olsson(as spotted byRock Paper Shotgun), the latestAmnesiagame is getting a Halloween update, which includes a “shell shocked mode.” This new difficulty will see the immersive sim horror game present an even greater challenge for players.
Halloween Update – Feature #6There will be no time to rest in the upcoming Shell shocked mode! You snooze – you lose! 😴#amnesiathebunkerpic.twitter.com/f2QmCnYpbX
For starters, the admin office – where safety is pretty much a guarantee – will now have a wooden door instead of its usual metal barricade. This, presumably, means the stalking monster will be able to get to the player, thus assuring nowhere is safe.
Nope. Can’t hide there, either.
At times of great stress, at least you may always count on the menu to pause the action, giving you a moment to rest. Not in the update. According to Olsson, time will not stop when you enter the menu screen.
What else? Oh yes. TheupdateforAmnesia: The Bunkerwill also be introducing “new and randomized locations of corpses, dog tags and bunker rats.”
And if just these features weren’t enough, it also looks like the pistol – your one and only defense – is going to be stored in a locker. Therefore, you’ll have to find a code for the padlock before you can get to it.
There doesn’t appear to be an exact date for when this patch is going to start rolling out, so look out for it in the closing days of October. Suffice it to say, “shell shock mode” is going to sort theAmnesiawheat from the chaff.
