About this game
This collection brings together The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs and Justine. In The Dark Descent, you explore a desolate castle as Daniel, uncovering a past he scarcely remembers. Its first-person viewpoint puts you in the corridors yourself, while hiding, running and using your wits provide your means of defense. The other included stories start from different predicaments. A Machine for Pigs follows industrialist Oswald Mandus as he seeks his endangered children. Justine places you in a series of trials where helping others can put your own life at risk. Castle exploration, a search for family and dangerous rescue decisions give the collection distinct narrative starting points.
Collected in series
Amnesia is a first-person horror series about exploring unsettling places, piecing together lost memories and finding a way past lurking threats. Handling objects and solving environmental puzzles brings you closer to the answers, often while something is hunting you.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A fit for horror readers who want vulnerability and difficult rescue choices to guide their exploration.
The Dark Descent's hiding and escape can make discovery feel exposed rather than empowered. Alongside it, Mandus's family search and Justine's risky trials offer different reasons to keep moving into threatening situations.
Strengths
- For players who enjoy vulnerability, The Dark Descent's limited defensive options can make deciding whether to hide or move consequential.
- Justine's rescue premise may appeal to players who want survival to involve concern for someone else.
Weaknesses
- Players who want to fight their way through horror may find The Dark Descent's reliance on evasion restrictive.
Who it is for: Players drawn to first-person horror, piecing together a character's past and weighing personal safety against helping others.
Play notes: The Dark Descent includes gore, violence, non-sexual nudity and strong language alongside its horror themes.
