God, it's short, indeed, but the last chase sequence is the worst thing I've ever experienced in a horror game in a good way, obviously. Like, in the main campaign I didn't feel so scared mostly because I managed to hide well and didn't enter a chase, but here in the final part they force you to do a chase while doing super slow cranks with weird controls that also lock the camera and with a tiny hitbox so you can miss the click and gg and on top of that you can't save the game which makes the scene much more powerful like I played it 3 times for the achievements and I never want to know another scene in all my life, I hate it but in a good way, I really had a bad time, but having a bad time is exactly what makes it so good.

3/10

The concept is great but the execution is lacking. I wish Justine had leaned into the 'studying the psyche' idea with some actual ethical decisions that make you consider deliberately killing the prisoners, rather than accidentally killing them because you couldn't solve the puzzle. It would also be nice to actually save the prisoners, rather than leaving them chained to the walls and progressing to the next room. Also, the ability to save so you don't have to play the same puzzles over and over again whenever you make a mistake and die.

The monster and interactions with it are the best part of this expansion, and are better than in the base game. The exploration of setting, story and puzzles is as captivating as The Dark Descent is, but the combination of being forced to repeat it and the fact it doesn't do anything interesting with it makes it difficult to recommend.

Very solid expansion, although a little too short and not quite sure how I feel about the execution of the "twist" ending. Still a decent little 30 minute story!

Has excellent scares through the unstoppable enemy though. Easily more intense than TDD because of said enemy, as well as the absence of saving and perma-death.

Overall rating: 5.5/10

Sort of a precursor to today's Itch.io horror microgames. Too slight to leave much impact despite being a cool idea that's theoretically well-suited to its short runtime, and includes one of the worst, most esoteric puzzles I've encountered in a while. The moral choices, supposed to be a test of character, are so obtuse it's hard to even parse them as choices on the first run let alone for them to feel meaningful.

On the other hand frantically opening a door and then locking it again while something closes in on you is the best part of these games and there's an extended, multi-room instance of that in here which is further heightened by the permadeath. Worth a spin if you have the collection.

ehm, ok

Score = 6,7/10

Probably the wettest fart of any post game expansion of this era

all 2 of the puzzles sucked the correct solutions felt more like , plot is completely unrelated to the base game, idk why the fuck they give you lantern and never give you oil to use.


Final chase was pretty good though, and im sure the plot is like, interesting, though you'd probably have to get it through a wiki or a youtube video because the game ain't explaining anything

also its only 30 mins long lel

Review EN/PTBR

A very short DLC that only offers time based on difficulty, as it has no save or checkpoint and you will die in just 1 hit
A creative and short story with a great Portal easter egg
Who doesn't love a crazy girl?

Uma DLC muito curta que só oferece tempo baseado na dificuldade, já que não possui save ou checkpoint e morre com apenas 1 hit
Uma história criativa e curta com um ótimo Easter Egg referente a Portal

I’m not really sure what this expansion was trying to get at. It had virtually nothing to do with the main game besides from a few notes by Daniel. In fact was starting to question whether or not it was still set in Brennenburg Castle. It was also lacking the puzzles that made the first game quite enjoyable. However the one enemy that stalks you throughout the whole game is quite scary and overall this might actually be scarier than the base game. The ending was also pretty cool. I played it by killing all 3 of the prisoners I don’t know if there is another ending that you get by saving them all. If so maybe that ending could have more to do with the base game, but to be honest, even if it did I wouldn’t really hold this expansion in a much higher regard

Não gostei por motivos pessoais, porém a dlc em si não é necessariamente ruim, foram suas ideias que não me agradaram.
Começando pela gameplay focada em Puzzles que não me agradou, creio que a melhor qualidade de Amnésia:Dark descent é a mesclagem entre puzzle, busca de documentos pela história, e o terror, coisa que Justine tira TUDO apenas pelo puzzle (visto que boa parte da gameplay não temos uma história de fato, apenas informações para adicionar no pano de fundo). Além disso, sua duração é ofensiva, podendo ser finalizado em 10 minutos (talvez até menos) se você souber o que fazer, e apesar de haver um fato replay pelo outros finais, não vale apena. A única coisa que de fato me interessou foi o conceito da "história" que a dlc apresenta, de resto achei bem tedioso.
Vale apenas se estiver MUITO BARATO (papo de 2 reais e olha lá) ou estiver inclusa na coleção que vem todos os jogos, porquê de resto não vale.

An abjectly terrifying mini-expansion for the first Amnesia game. I was more or less delighted by how well this utilizes a number of interesting tweaks to the gameplay ideas of the main game in a such a short timeframe (this takes no more than an hour to play). Everything you liked about the main game is here, just turned up to 11: the brilliant sound design is somehow even more atmospheric and dread-inducing, the puzzles are tough as hell (unintuitively so, in one unfortunate case), and the monster design and environmental details are even more creepy (you can bet I won’t forget what the word ‘abacinate’ means any time soon). The story, although brief, is quite clever, as it hinges on a mind-bending twist that brings a new meaning to the term ‘masochist.’

I docked this for two unfortunate demerits that prevent this from being a perfect little expansion. If you die, not only is your game over, but you hilariously get booted to desktop. This isn’t a huge deal for most of the expansion, but it is not a reach to die during the panic of the final chase sequence. A save function seems like it would’ve been a pretty simple add. Second, the puzzle in the library is a real momentum-killer, an illogical dud that had me stuck for way too long.

On the whole, however, this is a tight and well-imagined DLC, arguably even scarier than the main game on a moment-to-moment basis.

replayed because rebirth made me question whether i actually would enjoy amnesia in this day and age. not only did i enjoy this, it made me remember being like, 15 and sleeping on the floor of the living room with all the lights i could find on, because i was too scared to sleep in my bedroom. lmao

the expected issues persist (gameplay and puzzles in particular can be frustrating or just plain boring) but the genuine terror i felt is still there. a remarkable feat for something so short-- this feels like what every steam horror game in early access with no hope is trying to be.
