This Amnesia: The Dark Descent documentary details the development of the indie horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover more about the indie horror game made by Frictional Games and how early iterations were inspired by Super Mario. The documentary also explores all the design decisions that Frictional Games made.

It also takes a close look at all the struggles Frictional Games had to go through during Amnesia’s development. There were multiple moments during its development that could have caused a premature end to both the game and the entire studio. Furthermore, it delves into how the game uses people’s own imagination against them by lying about the inner workings of the game’s sanity system. Lastly, the documentary shows a lot of concept art and early alpha footage that was hidden in the game’s files.
