New Frictional Game Tease

[Feb 11, 2012, 1:57 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A Next Frictional Game Website is online teasing the next game from the developer of Amnesia and other spooky games. It seems this may be connected to their latest survival/horror offering, as it currently sports the Amnesia logo and the tag line "Something is emerging." Presumably we'll learn more soon enough. Thanks Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

The atmosphere is exquisite; the dread palpable. There's just no way to do fear properly when you can launch rockets into enemies' faces. The feel of vulnerability is what puts the horror in a horror game. That's the genius of Amnesia. In order to render the horror truly soul shaking, they rendered the character in the game totally powerless. And that's how it should be. They learned the lesson from Lovecraft really well.
