Frictional Games’ desert horror Amnesia: Rebirth has just received a free new Adventure Mode, stripping out the game’s life-threatening monster encounters, jump scares, and darkness for those keen to experience its story without fear of fainting dead away.
Amnesia: Rebirth – the third game in the series, following on from Frictional’s 2010 original and the Chinese-Room-developed A Machine for Pigs – launched last year, taking players on an unsettling adventure across the Algerian desert in the 1930s.
Its tale – focusing on protagonist Tasi Trianon as she traverses the hostile expanse, pulling together fragments of her past – earned much praise on release (Eurogamer reviewer Vikki Blake called it an “impressive horror subversion” and a story that “gripped me right up until the credits rolled”), and Rebirth’s new Adventure Mode aims to make it more accessible to all.
