- The Amnesia Grunt Hoodie is here! - 3 December 2025
It took us over 15 years, but we’ve finally done it - the official Grunt Hoodie is here at last. Better late than never 🌹 And honestly… has any character ever deserved their own merch more? Don’t think so, no.Slip the hoodie on and you’re wrapped in the Grunt’s soft, crimson maw, with those unmistakably bulging eyes perched proudly on your head.In all seriousness, our goal was to create something that honors the classic game and the beloved character, while still being a piece you’d actually want to wear out in the world. We hope we struck the right balance. Not feeling the hoodie? No worries. We’ve also put together a t-shirt featuring Agrippa’s iconic silhouette, plus a sleek black baseball cap.Link to Hoodie

- Halloween's over but you can still scare yourself witless with this VR recreation of Amnesia - 6 November 2023
There are some things in life that I admire but can't claim to properly understand. These include the literary works of James Joyce, the vegan lifestyle, and people who want to play incredibly scary games in VR. I like horror games, but there's a limit on my tolerance, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent landed right on that limit when it slithered out of Frictional Games' culvert a terrifying thirteen years ago. Hence, the mere idea of playing that game in VR makes me shudder... Read more.

- Steam's pioneering scariest game gets official mod support - 3 June 2023
Amnesia The Dark Descent was a special moment in gaming. The original Amnesia , released by developer Frictional Games in 2010, was one of the first real standout horror games that broke big on the YouTube scene. Sure, scary games weren't a new idea, far from it - even Doom had its own moments of terror back in 1993 - but Amnesia felt new and exciting, and it led us into a world of watching others, people we might not even know, screaming, cowering, and crying their way around its misty corridors.
