Amnesia: Rebirth now has a less-spooky Adventure Mode

As a big stupid baby who is compelled to play horror games I know will freak my nut out, I am grateful to see Frictional Games add a less-spooky mode to another of their games. Today they blessed Amnesia: Rebirth with an 'Adventure Mode', an optional difficulty level which stops monsters murdering you while throwing in some extra puzzles for folks who just wanna explore somewhere strange and awful. That's nice, that. The game has a big discount to celebration the launch too.

Adventure Mode Out Now!

When we released “Safe mode” for SOMA some years ago we didn’t really know how it would be received or if it would make a difference at all to the players out there. Today we know that it was well worth the effort and that the mode allowed a whole new audience to experience the game. We got a lot of player feedback from people appreciating SOMA’s safe mode, and nearly every single interview leading up to the release of Amnesia: Rebirth contained the question “Will it come with a safe mode?”. This indicates to us that the mode has had an important influence on SOMA’s reception. Now, we’ve created something very similar for Rebirth.

Safe mode allowed players to take in SOMA’s narrative, atmosphere, story and theme, without having to worry about monsters attacking them. And even though Amnesia: Rebirth has a foundation in the same kind of horror that once made Amnesia: The Dark Descent so successful, the game shares many characteristics with SOMA.

With Adventure Mode we hope that new players, that have a hard time handling horror as a genre, will get to experience Tasi’s story. That they will get to immerse themselves in the character and the unforgiving environments of Rebirth, as they fight for survival for themselves and those closest to them.

Playing the game in Adventure Mode still contains the same serious themes and story - and the atmosphere can still be quite unnerving at times - but the experience is going to be much less of a horror experience and more one of an epic adventure.

[h3]Here’s a summary of the features that comes with the new Adventure Mode:[/h3]

Monsters still exist in the game but they won’t attack you anymore.
Locations that contained pitch black darkness have been brightened up a lot, making environments possible to explore at one’s own pace, allowing for easier navigation and removes some of the oppressive atmosphere.
No active fear mechanic, meaning that you don’t have to worry about taking fear from being in darker areas or near monsters.
A few bonus puzzles.

For those of you who still want the horror experience, the Original mode is still available to you, but we hope that this new mode will be a nice alternative for others.

We are celebrating the release with a 40% discount on Amnesia: Rebirth, and 80% off on all our other games!

Amnesia: Rebirth gets new Adventure Mode that makes the game less frightening

Amnesia: Rebirth is undoubtedly a very beautiful game featuring a wealth of interesting environmental design ranging from the deserts and forts of Algeria, as well as more occult and mysterious settings. That said, it’s sometimes very difficult to see all of that when you’re scared out of your mind trying frantically to think of the best way forward through a deadly situation. To that end, Frictional Games has put together a mode to help keep your head on straight so you can see more of the work they poured into the story and environments of Amnesia: Rebirth and this Adventure Mode comes to the game in an update today.

Amnesia: Rebirth revealed the Adventure Mode update in a developer blog and dev diary on the studio’s YouTube channel on March 30, 2021. Available now on PC versions of the game on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store alongside a 40% discount, the Adventure Mode offers a far more risk and tension-free way to enjoy the game.

In Amnesia: Rebirth’s Adventure Mode, the story still plays out the same, but monsters won’t attack, the environments are lit up a bit more for easy navigation and observation, and the fear mechanics are removed so you don’t have to mind your positioning as much around enemies and darkness. To balance things out, a few new bonus puzzles are added to Adventure Mode to keep you on your toes and engaged with the otherwise easier-to-handle scenario.

For our money, Amnesia: Rebirth’s design, narrative choices, and mechanics served to make it an excellently crafted horror title worthy of a sparkling Shacknews review and our Best Horror Game of 2020.

That said, we can’t help but be intrigued by the opportunity to explore Amnesia’s rather gorgeous and well-designed environments, props, and foes in a way we simply couldn’t before. Likewise, if you want to enjoy all of the intriguing narrative Amnesia: Rebirth without all of the nervous tension that comes with playing it in its standard form, Adventure Mode looks like a great way to go with it. You can check out the mode now on PC with a PS4 version of the mode coming soon.
