Amnesia: The Bunker<\/em> has all but reinvented Frictional Games’ horror series, a crucial move at a time when the previous entry didn’t quite hit the mark for some. However, the original \u2013 The Dark Descent<\/em> \u2013 will always hold a special place in the hearts of horror fans. And if you thought the 2010 game was scary as it is, get ready to play it in VR.<\/p>

As spotted by PCGamer<\/a>, a mod over on ModDB<\/a> has taken the OG Amnesia<\/em> title and completely remade it. By rebuilding it in the Unity engine (boo hiss, etc.<\/a>), CreaTeam’s Sclerosis<\/em> has managed to implement VR into the acclaimed horror game<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/iframe> <\/div><\/figure>

The above trailer shows off the more immersive aspects of the game. If you didn’t know it was a rebuild, you’d swear it was just the original release. The team looks to have done a comprehensive job remaking Dark Descent<\/em>, right down to the redesigned controls that have been “meticulously adapted to virtual reality controllers.”<\/p>

If you’ve missed Amnesia<\/em>, you’ve missed a treat<\/h2>

I’m a long time fan of the Amnesia<\/em> series. The first game set quite the tone in the indie horror scene, particularly at a time when the genre was experiencing something of an identity crisis (Resident Evil 5<\/em> <\/a>came out the year before \u2013 just saying).<\/p>

With no ability to defend yourself, being forced to hide from monsters, and the knowledge that staying in the dark too long was just as detrimental, The Dark Descent<\/em> was a breath of (horrifying) fresh air.<\/p>

Who knows whether Frictional will be able to reinvent the franchise again with subsequent entries. But judging by the likes of The Bunker<\/a><\/em>, the series still has a lot of life left in it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
