  • New creature behaviors that increases unpredictability.
  • Sublevel Fuse System – Restore electricity to turn on the lights in each of the Bunker’s zones.

  • More Randomization – Lockers and their combinations are in random locations.
  • Saving Progress Costs Fuel.
  • Locked Fuel Storage Room – the unlimited supply of fuel, and already difficult-to-access resource, is now locked and has its own combination located somewhere in the Bunker.
  • Revolver locked in storage locker, and not available from the start.
  • The Safe Room is no longer safe.
  • New Training Grounds level for you to practice your skills.

Amnesia: The Bunker Review

In our Amnesia: The Bunker review, Steve wrote, “In its best moments, Amnesia: The Bunker joins Outlast and Alien: Isolation at the pinnacle of this style of horror, but this is a game with a split identity. Combat feels out of place and mostly ends up being a navigation tool, while I would have liked to see better use of light as a defence against the creature. The story is somewhat predictable, but Amnesia: The Bunker excels with its atmosphere and the kind of tense gameplay that will thrill genre fans.”
