On June 6, a new horror game was released and impresses on Steam with 89% positive reviews right away. Its predecessor is available for free for a short time.
Which game is it? Amnesia is a horror game series created by Frictional Games, with each installment featuring different storylines.
The newest part of the series, Amnesia: The Bunker, was released on June 6. Just one day after the release, the game has nearly 500 reviews and 89% positive ratings on Steam.
As the name suggests, in Amnesia: The Bunker, you find yourself in an old World War bunker trying to survive despite various dangers. Unlike in other Amnesia installments, however, this time you have the option to craft tools and use weapons to defend yourself against the impending horror.

Which predecessor is currently available for free? You can currently get Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, the indirect predecessor of Amnesia: The Bunker, for free.
The game is being given away until June 9 on gog.com. Additionally, The Dark Descent is on sale for 2.99 euros and Rebirth for 5.79 euros.

What makes Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs special? In gameplay, A Machine For Pigs puts you in the first-person perspective. You must navigate the game without weapons, just like in The Dark Descent, which means you have no means to defend against potential enemies.
This leaves you with only hiding and running away. This is intended to create a feeling of helplessness, preventing potential enemy confrontations. If danger lurks around the corner, caution is advised. Because if you get caught, it’s game over.
With The Outlast Trials, another horror title was released on Steam in May, which also received very good ratings and is even playable in co-op:
