It’s been a while since I played a full-on horror game. I’ve been prioritizing lighter and brighter experiences lately because the world is filled with enough horror.

The last game in the Amnesia series was 2020’s Amnesia: Rebirth. Set in the Algerian desert in 1937, you play Tasi Trianon, who is pregnant and has to deal with a strange illness consuming her and aliens.

The promise of a new game set in a WW1 bunker interested me. Bunkers are inherently creepy, with their claustrophobia-inducing corridors and endless labyrinths of corridors.
