[h3]The Steam Awards nomination period is here![/h3]

Steam Awards mean a ton for a small studio like ours. We poured a lot of passion and hard work into this project and we are tremendously proud of what we achieved!

With Amnesia: The Bunker we wanted to design systems and gameplay that both offer something new and truly challenging to the players, which we think we achieved. If you agree we encourage you to nominate us in the “Best game you suck at” category in this year's Steam Awards - vote here!

For a reminder as to why, please check out this video:

Either way you chose to vote we want to thank you for playing the game and being part of our community, it means the world to us.


The best game of the past ten years is now less than $5

What do you want from a videogame? As I look back across 2023, and all the big releases like Starfield, Diablo 4, and Baldur's Gate 3, it seems like exploration, freedom, and choice are the defining characteristics of today's popular PC hits. But there is another type of game - or rather, another approach to game-making - whereby your freedom might be limited in the literal sense, but the richness and depth of what you experience is just as great, or perhaps greater, than the most expansive RPG. Personally, I like shorter games where every single moment feels written, pored over, and choreographed. You might have played Amnesia The Bunker, or other entries in the superlative horror game series. Frictional's best work, however - and the best game of the last decade - is something different, and you can get it now for less than $5.
