Amnesia: The Bunker’s new custom settings gives you flexibility with your horror
destructoid.comIn the run-up to the end of October, many horror studios are getting some content ready for this most spookiest of seasons. One such example comes from Amnesia: The Bunker developer Frictional Games, and a new video outlines the custom settings coming in a soon-to-be-released update.
Over on the Frictional YouTube channel, creative lead Fredrik Olsson showcases the new “Custom Settings” mode that’s coming to the latest Amnesia game.
As you’ll see in the footage, there are a series of parameters that can be played with so you can set the game’s difficulty however you want. For example: you can set it so that every time you save, fuel is used up. You can even disable saving all together. Or maybe you want to make things easier by extending how long the torch stays lit or the amount of resources there are.
This is all going to be part of the new update which, according to the video, is expected to roll out soon. However, given that it’s being referred to as the “Halloween update,” we can already take a guess at roughly when it’ll be available.
Along with custom settings, the Amnesia: The Bunker patch will also come with the option to hone your skills in the Training Grounds. This will allow you to have a little practice at firing your gun or throwing grenades, right before you dive on into the horror of the titular bunker.
There’s also the new ‘shell shocked’ difficulty, which aims to make the game even harder. Because when you’re hiding in the dark from a terrifying monster, what most of us are thinking is, “hmm, I wish this was somehow more stressful.”
