Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a survival horror adventure video game from the Swedish indie studio Frictional Games. It's a Spiritual Successor to their previous Penumbra series, sharing many elements of gameplay and storytelling with them.Daniel, the playable Non-Action Guy, wakes up in the dark of an ancient creepy castle, Brennenburg, without any memories. The first thing he finds is a note to himself, which informs him that he has been deliberately self-inflicted with amnesia so that he can make a dark descent into the heart of the castle and kill the proprietor, Baron Alexander. As he journeys further within the bowels of the Prussian estate, Daniel comes across his own diary entries, hinting at otherworldly influences, particularly the dangerous living 'Shadow' that pursues him for something he did in his past, killing everyone it comes across. He also finds notes left by an assortment of castle-dwellers that elaborate on the sinister events that have taken place there.But mostly, he finds nothing...A later update added two new components to the game for free: | |

Strong as They Need to Be | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_1228314a | comment |
Strong as They Need to Be: Most of the terror of the game comes from the fact that you're playing as a regular human who lacks any skill or ability that would allow him to fight back against the creatures stalking him. This is somewhat undermined by the fact that Daniel seems to be crazy strong, judging by various puzzle sequences in which he busts open stone walls with a shovel or smashes through foot-thick wood pillars with his bare hands. He also has no problem picking up and throwing large rocks and boulders (some bigger than he is) — but struggles to open a perfectly normal wooden trapdoor. Perhaps it's made out of plot, well-known for its resistance to even the most panic-boosted strength. Also discussed in-game in one of the notes. Given what Daniel's facing, it's not surprising he can pull it off from time-to-time. It also bears mentioning that, in those particular instances, the wall or floor has already been weakened to the point of the mortar being loose enough for it to happen. | |

Walking Wasteland | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_16a21271 | comment |
Walking Wasteland: Anyone who examines or tampers with the orb is killed by the shadow. Daniel, unwittingly, gets several people killed this way. He never makes the connection that the Shadow who murders certain people and does so instantly (whereas Daniel wants nothing to do with the orb and the Shadow lets him live for a long time and lets him go in one ending), so he panics and runs to Alexander... Which leads to many, many more deaths. | |

Breather Level | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_1724b8b2 | comment |
Breather Level: The hub levels (Entrance Hall, Back Hall, Cistern Entrance, and Nave) all serve as these, being completely free of monsters and (mostly) of disturbing imagery, safe aside from the occasional environmental hazard and Meat Moss spawned by the growing presence of the Shadow, and usually featuring calm, soothing music. The Dev commentary confirms this was deliberately invoked, with these areas giving the player a chance to relax so the upcoming horrors would seem even worse by comparison. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: The cockroaches infesting Alexander's castle look and sound like Gromphadorhina portentosa (Madagascar hissing cockroach), rather out of place in a castle somewhere in Prussia. Given that they only appear when Daniel's sanity is low, they may just be hallucinations. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: When Daniel has to vaccinate himself with a corpse's blood. God only knows if they're the same blood type or if he had any infectious diseases. At least upon touching the body while not holding anything it states that it "Can't be more than a day old." Still, as Lanipator puts it in his Let's Play: "The least sanitary thing I could possibly do!" A rather subtle one: In one of Alexander's research notes a dog is referred to as Canis lupus familiaris. This is the dog's modern taxonomic classification, but at the time the game is set in the accepted classification was Canis domesticus or Canis familiaris. | |

Title Drop | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Alexander, judging by his notes on the subject. He leaves instructions on how to best inflict prolonged suffering, and deliberately pipes the sound of ongoing torture into the cell areas of the other prisoner awaiting their turn, knowing that the anticipation will only make it worse for them. For all the elaborate devices in the castle, the torture techniques are very primitive, dating back to the Dark Ages. Possibly justified because Alexander is immortal and has been alive for much longer than the era in which the game takes place. However, his torture technique is further backed up by the use a memory-erasing draught called "Amnesia" after each session, just so their imaginations will produce new horrors afresh in anticipation of next time. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Four total: two Bittersweet (one of which overlaps with Golden Ending) and two DownerEndings, one of which is a Non Standard Game Over. If you break Alexander's machine before it opens the portal, Alexander dies and Daniel leaves Brennenburg free of his curse and content that he did the right thing. If you let the portal open and didn't help Agrippa, Alexander will go through the portal and the darkness will kill you. If you let the portal open and throw Agrippa's head through it, both you and Alexander will die, but Agrippa will call out to you in the ethereal realm and ask Weyer to help you, before assuring you "it will be alright." There is also a fourth, lesser known ending only possible if the player decides to remain in the cell after the three Grunts attack him in the Chancel. This ending is similar to the 'bad' ending, in that it means Alexander will go through the portal and Daniel will be consumed by the shadow. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_1d18887f | comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: Bloodcurdlingly subverted. Alexander convinces Daniel to learn and practice the art of torture on innumerable victims by claiming repeatedly that, as Daniel himself puts it in a diary entry, "they are all wicked men." The Baron manages his training so well, Daniel all too naturally invokes God to justify his crimes and resorts to Dehumanization, calling the prisoners "monsters" at one point. | |

Motivational Lie | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_1d77dd02 | comment |
Motivational Lie: Some of the tips in tutorial messages and loading screens outright lie to the player. For example, you're told early on that having low sanity makes it easier for monsters to spot you, but in reality there's no connection whatsoever between the Sanity Meter and monsters spawning or their chance of seeing Daniel. It does its job of making players terrified of spending too long in the dark, though. | |

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: The hint you get when seeing a monster for the first time states that looking at them for too long causes you to "eventually be seen." This was confirmed by the lead developer to be an outright lie, with the intention of scaring the player into avoiding looking at enemies. This mechanic does in fact exist in Penumbra. | |

Cower Power | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_1e42a412 | comment |
Cower Power: Literally, the best way to survive a monster is to find a dark corner, curl up with your nose to the wall, and pray it leaves before it stumbles over you. Justified, as Daniel has no means by which to fight back against these monsters, they can generally outrun him when they break into a sprint, and closing doors will only slow them down at best. | |

Primal Fear | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_20215dc6 | comment |
Primal Fear: Plays heavily on several of these. Fear of the dark is, as the title suggests, a frequent one, but that is also subserviant to a more general fear of the unknown. The game uses lots of little tricks to ensure this fear is invoked, such as noises to suggest what might be near, and Teleporting Key Card Squad to ensure that monsters can be anywhere, and Nothing Is Scarier to keep players tense and on-edge. Even if one tries looking at the monsters (Body Horrors though they are) Daniel's vision will be blurred and distorted, ensuring that they retain an element of mystery and unknowability, in addition to their role as predators after helpless prey. | |

All Crimes Are Equal: As you learn about various torture victims, the severity of their supposed crimes seems to lessen. The worst were accused of rape and arson, but a forger got thrown into the iron maiden as well. Justified, as Alexander is just looking for anyone he has a reasonable excuse to "lock up" and torture for Vitae. On Daniel's end, this is also a sign that It Gets Easier. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Justified. Some of the flashbacks provide hints as how to how to make progress, although it's more of a Chekhov's Gun to Daniel as the memories slowly comes back to him, since the player wouldn't know anything about these pieces of information until the flashbacks are pointing it out. A straight example for the player would be Daniel's ability to repair Orbs, which comes up in a diary entry early in the game, then becomes relevant near the ending, when Daniel needs to repair Agrippa's broken Orb to breach the Inner Sanctum. | |

Mythology Gag: In the intro, you get a throwaway reference from Daniel about him living in Mayfair, London. That's the same place where the protagonist of the Penumbra series goes to retrieve the heirloom of his missing father (which kicks off the plot of the first game). Also, the "memory capsules" are very similar to the Tuurngait artifacts in Penumbra. | |

Difficulty Levels | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_29428ef | comment |
Difficulty Levels: An update to the game added Hard Mode, which makes all enemies faster, more likely to spot you, and capable of killing you in one hit. The Musical Spoiler when an enemy spawns is also removed. Autosaving is disabled, and creating a manual save now costs five tinderboxes. Oh, and the overall amount of tinderboxes and oil in the game has been greatly reduced, so both light sources and saves will be scarce. To top it all off, if the Sanity Meter hits bottom, Daniel dies. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: There is a letter from "A.S Laboratories" hidden behind some books on a bookshelf in one of the rooms that mentions a Space-Span Device. A.S Laboratories is the same Aperture Science from the Portal series and the Space-Span device is the portal gun. If you find the letter, at the end in the final room, the body covered in chains and tied to the ceiling is a direct Shout-Out to GLaDOS, and the dialogue between Justine and Clarice changes: Justine requests that Clarice post a letter to the mysterious A.S Laboratories to let them know that she is "still alive". The entire set up of the game acts as a Shout-Out to Portal. | |

Checkpoint Starvation: The Justine DLC lasts only a couple of hours but you cannot save anywhere, unlike the main game where you could. This is a problem, because the player character is a One-Hit-Point Wonder and there are three terrifying and dangerous puzzles you have to survive. | |

Darkness Equals Death | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_2c77fae3 | comment |
Darkness Equals Death: Played with — a core strategy for survival is to hide in dark areas from monsters, as they can't see well in the dark. Doing so does reduce your Sanity Meter note since Daniel has nyctophobia, a severe fear of the dark, but there is no other way to evade your pursuers. In the end, it amounts to "When darkness doesn't equal safety, it equals madness". | |

The Bad Guy Wins: The bad ending, in which Daniel dies and Alexander gets away scot-free with everything. This also applies to the less well-known fourth ending, where Daniel doesn't escape from the cell and the Shadow consumes him, presumably leaving Alexander to succeed without Daniel to stop him. | |

Hollywood Acid | |

Hollywood Acid: At one point you have to mix cuprite, calamine, aqua regia, and orpiment to make an acid and use it to dissolve a large growth blocking your progress. While aqua regia (a mix of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid that can dissolve metals like gold) and orpiment (an arsenic sulfide used in tanning) make sense and could probably do the job by themselves, it makes little sense to mix them together with a non corrosive mineral like cuprite and calamin, a substance used as the basis of LOTION. | |

Sympathetic Murder Backstory: Daniel is manipulated by Alexander into sacrificing what he thought were criminals. He is devastated after he was forced to kill a little girl, and nearly loses his sanity. He vows revenge on Alexander for that. Amongst the flashbacks in-game involve the cries of the lives he took (children's voices were amongst them). | |

Invincible Boogeymen | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_396579 | comment |
Invincible Boogeymen: Almost every monster in the game is one of these, but they do give up and go away if the player hides themselves well enough. Just looking at them is enough to drive the player character mad, and as soon as one catches sight of you, you're practically dead. However, the most prominent example is the Shadow, as unlike other monsters which you can hide from or distract, the Shadow will find you wherever you go and is truly unstoppable. It will NEVER stop chasing you until it decides otherwise. Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: If Rebirth is anything to go by, creatures like Alexander's Gatherers are stronger than humans, but just as vulnerable to bullets as anyone else. It's just that Daniel doesn't have access to anything even remotely resembling an effective weapon. | |

When shattered, the orbs emit maddening energy, making them handy torture enhancers, as revealed by Agrippa. | |

Doom Magnet: Everywhere Daniel goes, people die. It turns out it's the Shadow hunting him. By the time the games events begin, he is almost a Walking Wasteland. It is hinted at that it only kills people who examine or tamper with the orb and it does so instantly. Whereas Daniel is fine for 27 days and if Daniel stops Alexander from screwing with the orb, it lets him go without an issue. | |

Immortality Immorality | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_3ea7916d | comment |
Immortality Immorality: It's strongly indicated that the Baron, being stuck in human form, needs vitae (cosmic life force) to prolong his life until he can find a way back to his own dimension. Unfortunately, the only viable source of sufficient quantities of vitae is the prolonged torture and agony of human beings. Daniel, likewise, needs to regularly perform human sacrifices to keep the Shadow at bay. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Two of the four possible endings. If Daniel stops the ritual, Alexander dies and Daniel is able to escape Brennenburg, feeling that he has redeemed himself. However, Agrippa is trapped in the rubble of Brennenburg (though it's implied that without Alexander maintaining his forced immortality, he will die sooner or later, so he's not trapped there forever). If Daniel sends Agrippa's head through the portal, Alexander is stopped, Agrippa is finally freed from Alexander's clutches, but Daniel is consumed by the Shadow and trapped in darkness forever. However, it's implied that Weyer was able to resurrect Agrippa and they will rescue Daniel out of gratitude for his help. This ending is also considered the Golden Ending by some fans. | |

Golden Ending | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5 | comment |
Golden Ending: Considered by some fans who invoke Story Branch Favoritism. By tossing Agrippa's severed head into the portal, Agrippa gets through the portal, leaving Daniel and Alexander trapped in the Inner Sanctum. The Shadow kills Alexander and apparently kills Daniel too, but Daniel is drawn through the portal by Agrippa before he truly dies. Agrippa (alive and well due to the potion Daniel gives him) and Weyer both begin to tend to Daniel's wounds. Agrippa tells Daniel "everything will be alright," implying they will bring him back from the brink of death, and give him the potential Immortality they have in their world. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness: The paintings, especially the portrait of Baron Alexander, change as your sanity gets lower. Although, given that he is explicitly stated to be from a different world, this might actually be a somewhat bizarre case of Glamour Failure. | |

Save-Game Limits | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_5d9ce92c | comment |
Save-Game Limits: Zig-zagged. You can save at any time in normal mode, though the game is generous enough with autosaves that you likely won't bother. On Hard Mode, however, autosaving is disabled and making a save costs five scarce and precious tinderboxes, forcing the player to think long and hard about whether making a save is worth it. | |

Parental Incest | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_606244c2 | comment |
Parental Incest: Of the father/daughter variety. An excerpt from Justine's diary heavily implies that her father is molesting her, claiming he's trying to "fill the void" her mother left. For added squickyness, the entry is from when Justine was 11 years old. | |

Dismantled MacGuffin: Daniel will frequently need to find multiple parts of a tool, machine, or object and put them back together in order to proceed. Perhaps the best example is Agrippa's broken Orb — the final fourth of the game revolves around finding the six pieces and reassembling them to counter the magical protections keeping Daniel out of the Inner Sanctum. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Implied with Justine and Clarice, at least once upon a time. A paper indicates that Justine actually cared enough about Clarice to comfort her when she cried, although it seems that Clarice was actually forbidden from playing with her. Clarice has apparently grown up to be Justine's servant, and she herself seems to be on good terms with Justine, though utterly oblivious to her employer's "games". | |

Tactical Door Use: Doors will not stop monsters, but they will slow them down, requiring several Barrier Busting Blows to batter down before they can enter. This is essential in some scenarios for buying Daniel extra time to put distance between himself and the threat or finding a better place to hide. | |

Facial Horror | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_6654b17b | comment |
Facial Horror: If the player is caught by a monster, this is likely to be the last thing they see. Also applies to Agrippa, though his friendly attitude tends to undermine the horror after the initial shock wears off. If you look at one of Alexander's portraits while your sanity is low enough, the result also qualifies, but since it's heavily implied that Alexander is actually an alien creature, it could just be his true form. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Justine's name (Justine Florbelle) is a reference to two works by the Marquis de Sade, Justine and Les Journees de Florbelle. The subtitle of Justine is "The Misfortunes of Virtue" which may apply to the ending, if you get the good ending. Les Journees de Florbelle was destroyed, perhaps reflecting the bad ending and the fact that you can't save the game — if you die, you are destroyed forever and cannot be recovered. The horrifying content of these novels is reflected in the game and the character. | |

Teleporting Keycard Squad: Unfortunately played straight some of the time: generally, when there's a puzzle-relevant object in plain sight, you can bet that a monster is going to spawn two rooms back to terrorize you after you pick it up. Of course, knowing this makes it even more tense, because you'll be afraid to even find the solutions because you know they could cause a monster to spawn. To quote Yahtzee again: "It's like they're being summoned by the autosave function." | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: As the game moves forward, the player will gradually realize the conflict isn't as black-and-white as Daniel's Note to Self would have them believe. There's no denying Alexander has done horrible things without remorse, but he does have a sympathetic motivation (returning home and reuniting with his loved ones) and takes no pleasure in his evil actions, regarding them as nothing more than a necessary means to an end. Meanwhile, Daniel also had sympathetic motivations (he was terrified of the Shadow and wanted protection from it) and was manipulated by Alexander, but over time, he grew to enjoy torturing people, to the point where even Alexander was shocked by his actions. The events of the game happen entirely because he had a Heel Realization and couldn't live with the guilt of what he'd done, choosing to erase his memory so he could pursue revenge without it hindering him. | |

Above Good and Evil: Alexander expresses disdain for concepts like "good" and "evil", thinking them only good for comfort and not something to be concerned about. He reminds Daniel that they aren't so different after Daniel calmly went along with Alexander's plans to torture and kill in order to preserve his own life from The Shadow, and thus Daniel has no better claim to "goodness" than he does — sidestepping that Alexander preyed on Daniel's desperation to convince him it was necessary. | |

Eldritch Abomination: The Shadow. Daniel aptly describes it as a living nightmare that breaks down reality. All that's really known about it beside this is that it's some kind of force that guards the Orbs and gets very angry at people who try to misuse them, though it seems to be fickle in how exactly it responds to this. Not helping matters it that it's never actually seen despite being a looming threat throughout the game; the only way to perceive it is through the telltale signs of its presence. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Of sorts, but done in a panic-inducing manner. In the final leg of the sewers, you find your path is blocked by a Brute standing guard at the hall you need to go down. Fortunately, the area is circular and you can simply get him to come investigate a noise when you make noise in one direction or the other. No matter how far you manage to lure it away, it'll suddenly be right behind you instead of distracted once you go down the hall, and your only hope is to book it to the ladder and start climbing before it gets you. | |

Monster Delay | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_93387c2e | comment |
Monster Delay: The game runs on this trope, using its atmosphere and a good dose of Nothing Is Scarier to wind the player up to the point where they're likely to be a jumpy, nervous wreck long before anything truly dangerous happens. Case in point: the first glimpse you'll see of a monster is a silhouette in a dark hallway. It isn't dangerous, disappears immediately, and won't reappear again, but by this point you're likely to be far too paranoid to figure that out. When the monsters start showing up for real later on, your sanity will drain just by looking at them, making you more likely to be spotted and killed, which strongly discourages trying to get a better look. Unfortunately, the marketing department didn't get this memo and put one of the monsters right on the front cover. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: One of the few breaks you'll ever get in the game when encountering monsters. Most of them have horrible vision when you're not in light, get bored chasing you after a while, or are generally unable to notice you when you're literally right next to them. In areas with bottomless pits and other falls, you can lure them to falling to their death (despawn). Also, they cannot attack you if you're on top of them or they are somehow stuck on top of barrels, and they can't see you if you can't see them. Probably justified in-game — the monsters are described as "feeding off your fear" in a way, are more likely to see you if you keep staring at them, and their strength is dependent on your mental strength. If you're good at avoiding them, don't expect much Artificial Brilliance. Demonstrated quite succinctly here (monster-design spoilers): Trolling the Monsters. | |

Interface Spoiler: Early on, a helpful hint appears instructing you to hide in darkness from enemies...even if you had no idea anything was there. Subverted, as there isn't really anything there the first time the hint appears; it's just the game trying to make you paranoid. The hint will repeat during the first real encounter with a monster, though you'd still have to actively try to be spotted by it before it despawns and might not even see it due to how far away it is. However, it's played straight the first time you see a hint about hiding in cupboards. | |

Leitmotif: Each character has their own associated piece of theme music. Each piece has several variations to represent different moods. Most commonly this can be heard while reading notes written by various characters. Specific songs also "give away" when a monster is lurking around, and of course, the screech when a monster is actively chasing you. | |

Afraid of Needles: Just before traversing the sewers beneath the castle — in order to keep from being killed by poisonous fungi, you need to drill a hole into the head of a corpse, insert a needle into a copper tube, insert that tube's base into the skull, and then stick yourself on the needle to immunize yourself. Daniel passes out after doing it, and it's hard to blame him. | |

If Daniel stops the ritual, Alexander dies and Daniel is able to escape Brennenburg, feeling that he has redeemed himself. However, Agrippa is trapped in the rubble of Brennenburg (though it's implied that without Alexander maintaining his forced immortality, he will die sooner or later, so he's not trapped there forever). | |

Sanity Meter | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_b351b856 | comment |
Sanity Meter: Daniel's nyctophobia and monster-phobia means that he starts losing it if he looks at monsters or stays in the darkness too long. On the status screen, his mental state ranges from "Crystal Clear" down through headaches and shaky hands to simply "...". As sanity drops lower, Daniel's vision starts to distort and he becomes increasingly affected by unnerving visual and auditory hallucinations. The only way to restore sanity is to stand in the light for a long time or complete puzzles. The latter will announce that Daniel has regained sanity with a flash of blue light and the sound of a relieved sigh. If the meter drops to zero, Daniel will collapse and be unable to move for a few seconds, and any monsters in the area will be alerted to his presence. If Daniel runs out of sanity on Hard Mode, he outright dies. | |

| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_b55698cd | comment |
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: If Rebirth is anything to go by, creatures like Alexander's Gatherers are stronger than humans, but just as vulnerable to bullets as anyone else. It's just that Daniel doesn't have access to anything even remotely resembling an effective weapon. | |

Hub Under Attack | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_b5a39030 | comment |
Hub Under Attack: The game has multiple Hub Levels that the hostile monsters lurking within Brennenburg cannot enter, alowing the player to rest before tackling the castle's many horrors. As you complete the levels within those hubs, however, the latter will gradually sport anomalies such as blood-poring fountains and Meat Moss — the calling card of the Shadow pursuing Daniel. Downplayed, however, in that the player can still be safe in the hubs regardless. | |

No Escape but Down: Played on throughout the whole game. While Daniel has to go up some stairs and ladders at times, he cannot escape the castle until he "descends into the darkness" following one of the very first instructions the player is given, all the while fleeing from various opponents. Taken most literally towards the end of the game when Daniel has finally gained access to the Inner Sanctum by recreating an orb, and he must run down stairs with the Shadow hot on his heels. | |

Jump Scare | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_c04b1231 | comment |
Jump Scare: Used sparingly, but to even better effect for it. Such scares include a wind extinguishing a set of torches, or a desk that opens to a set of human skulls. Unlike traditional jump scares, they can inflict sanity damage. There is a nasty one where you reach an iron maiden and when you get too close, it will suddenly open revealing a red mist. | |

Continuing is Painful: On Hard Mode. You still respawn when you die, but you do so at your last manual save instead of at a convenient checkpoint nearby. Making a save also costs five tinderboxes, and given how scarce those are in Hard Mode, and how much more you'll rely on them due to a similar scarcity of lantern oil, there's a good chance that dying will lose you a lot of progress. | |

Artistic License – Chemistry | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_c94f1109 | comment |
Artistic License – Chemistry: According to Amnesia, combining aqua regia, orpiment, cuprite, and calamine all together note no idea how much of each, which one goes first, etc. creates simply "acid." No, the pH isn't known either. Note that Aqua Regia is already a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid capable of dissolving gold. Why you must add a copper-based mineral (cuprite), Arsenic Trisulfide (orpiment, once used for poisoned arrows) and Zinc Oxide (calamine, used in cosmetic creams and powders) is up to you to guess, when royal water alone would have done the job of dissolving organic tissue. After you use the "acid" to melt the organic tissue, the container it was in isn't washed out, and is re-used for something else later, despite the traces of acid. Even worse, later in the game, Daniel finds a glass jar. He uses it to transport acid, then oil, once again without washing it out. After that, he can use it to prepare Weyer's tonic — the potion Agrippa's survival depends on. | |

Hollywood Darkness | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_ca81eae7 | comment |
Hollywood Darkness: Zig-zagged. Standing in a lit hallway and looking into a dark room will allow the player to see absolutely nothing inside the room; however, if Daniel is in the dark, there is usually faint bluish ambient light that allows the player to move around without using the lantern (though sanity will still drain). Some areas, however, are completely black, with no ambient light at all, and are explicitly described as being unnaturally dark. These areas are also often full of monsters or other horrors. | |

Torture Cellar | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_ca967579 | comment |
Torture Cellar: Brass bulls that people are crammed into to be broiled alive, torture wheels that allow for multiple bone breaks, and cells that permit the neighbor to hear nothing but the anguished screams emitting from the torture chambers. Even worse is the reason behind the torturing. See Powered by a Forsaken Child. Almost all of those items are real medieval torture devices that actually existed and were used on people, with the exception of the Iron Maiden, which (despite its many appearances throughout popular culture and inside some historical "tours") is purely fictional as a means of torture. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Justine doesn't quite follow this... to an extent. There is only one type of monster, the 3 suitors (Justine's former fiancee Alois, and yes, he's still alive and human, a guy named Basile whom Justine blinded and who calls you profane names, and Malo, who wants to eat you), you encounter each one once throughout the expansion, and while looking at Basile drops your sanity, it doesn't always make him more likely to see you... because he's blind. However, he can hear you, and if any of them hits you once, you die, and the game closes, not to mention there are no save points in the expansion whatsoever. | |

For good reason, too — the DLC was part of the "Potato Sack" Alternate Reality Game carried on through several indie games, leading up to Portal 2. The backstory for the ARG explains that GLaDOS hijacked all of the games, adding in references to potatoes and so on, and unlocking hints in one game would lead to certain tasks in another in the Sack, all which would unlock clues and actually managed to knock the release time of Portal 2 down by several hours, all by fan cooperation. | |

Torture Technician | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_db38d6ca | comment |
Torture Technician: Alexander, judging by his notes on the subject. He leaves instructions on how to best inflict prolonged suffering, and deliberately pipes the sound of ongoing torture into the cell areas of the other prisoner awaiting their turn, knowing that the anticipation will only make it worse for them. For all the elaborate devices in the castle, the torture techniques are very primitive, dating back to the Dark Ages. Possibly justified because Alexander is immortal and has been alive for much longer than the era in which the game takes place. However, his torture technique is further backed up by the use a memory-erasing draught called "Amnesia" after each session, just so their imaginations will produce new horrors afresh in anticipation of next time. Daniel, too, becomes an apprentice of sorts to Alexander as he revels in torturing supposed murderers, arsonists, and rapists. The Developer Commentary points out that the techniques laid out by Alexander are quite similar to the techniques they use to keep the player on edge throughout the experience, making the devs themselves Torture Technicians. Parallel to how the prisoners have to hear their cellmates torture and death, the player is also subjected to auditory hallucinations featuring each of the torture apparatus and their effects before we see them and how they function. | |

Cat Scare | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_dda12cb3 | comment |
Cat Scare: The scarcity of it makes those few instances much more effective. Not a cat, but opening a drawer full of bones has the same effect. Also, the iron maiden near the end. There's also the torch that turns on by itself. Which is not traditional fire. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: A psychotic woman forces a seemingly mute woman to run through a series of death traps while making clever remarks. For good reason, too — the DLC was part of the "Potato Sack" Alternate Reality Game carried on through several indie games, leading up to Portal 2. The backstory for the ARG explains that GLaDOS hijacked all of the games, adding in references to potatoes and so on, and unlocking hints in one game would lead to certain tasks in another in the Sack, all which would unlock clues and actually managed to knock the release time of Portal 2 down by several hours, all by fan cooperation. | |

"Psycho" Strings | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_e5b75009 | comment |
"Psycho" Strings: The music that plays when a monster is chasing you, fittingly called the "Terror Meter", consists of a screechy, high-pitched string instrument note that sounds chillingly like a drawn-out scream (which is what you're likely to be doing, too). | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_e794cb54 | comment |
Powered by a Forsaken Child: Vitae, a substance containing the cosmic lifeforce Baron Alexander needs for his alchemy, can only be obtained through the prolonged torture and suffering of human beings. This, more than anything else, is why Castle Brennenburg is such a gallery of horrors. The reason the amnesia potion was made was to ensure the torture victims wouldn't grow conditioned and numb to their suffering, thus producing less vitae, and could successfully keep producing the stuff until/unless they actually died. | |

Brain Bleach: The player will feel like they need one after visiting some of the later portions of the game. Daniel himself eventually needs (and uses) some after the weight of all the things he's seen and done catches up with him, and he is forced to ask himself whether he can live with knowing it. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy | |
| Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Video Game) / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Agrippa and Weyer were real historical figures, Agrippa being a 16th-century alchemist and Weyer being his apprentice. This game indicates that Weyer, like Alexander, actually came from... elsewhere... Agrippa was also an occultist in Real Life, about 300 years before Amnesia takes place. He 'presumes' that he was held prisoner by Alexander for hundreds of years, which would make the numbers match up. | |

Redemption Equals Death: In one of the endings. Daniel can send Agrippa's head through the portal, at the cost of being devoured by the Shadow along with Alexander, sacrificing his own chance at survival to finally reunite Agrippa with Weyer. Downplayed, as it's implied Agrippa and Weyer will rescue him from the Shadow's clutches. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: The entire game builds on this; you're set up in a series of rooms which each contain one victim you can either kill or save. Killing them makes it easier to make progress, while sparing them takes more effort. Depending on how many people you spared (or not at all), determines which ending you'll get. | |
