- This remarkable mod transforms the most frightening horror game of the decade into Mirror's Edge - 13 September 2026
Amnesia: The Bunker is without a doubt the most frightening horror game I've played this decade. Its terrifying tale of being chased through a crumbling French bunker by a monster has the darkest, thickest, most unnerving atmosphere of any horror game I've played since Alien: Isolation . It's so intense that it's hard to imagine anyone making something light and airy out of its subterranean warrens, and it's downright inconceivable that someone might, say, turn Amnesia: The Bunker into Mirror's Edge...

- Frictional Mod Jam 2026 - WHAT IS REALITY? - 27 May 2026
Things stop lining up. Systems behave, but not quite the way you expect. You start to question whether what you’re looking at is actually there, or just convincing enough.We’re announcing the Frictional Mod Jam 2026: WHAT IS REALITY?This year’s theme is about digging into perception and uncertainty. Inspired by SOMA and the Dark World from Amnesia. We’re craving experiences that play with what’s real, what isn’t, and how sometimes you can’t tell the difference. This can mean a lot of things - subtle inconsistencies, shifting rules, unreliable worlds, or something more psychedelic and abstract.There’s no strict interpretation. The idea is to explore worlds and storytelling that make the player pause and reconsider WTF is going on. Can be gritty sci-fi, bunkers, or fantasy. Get weird with it.The jam will run over the summer and is focused on HPL modding. You can join in solo or in a small…
- Get every Frictional horror game ever made—Penumbra, Amnesia, and SOMA—for just $15 in this screamingly good bundle - 27 March 2026
mnesia: The Dark Descent scarred me for life. Horror games have come a long way in the 16 years since its debut, and Dark Descent might seem quaint or unsophisticated now, but when it was new it was awful . It was such a traumatizing experience that by the time I was into the final stretch I was no longer scared, because my entire psyche had been absolutely shattered. It no longer mattered what happened, because my soul was blackened and numb, and I was ready to die... Read more.

- Amnesia: The Bunker is the scariest game I've ever played, and also practically a videogame adaptation of Tom and Jerry - 21 December 2023
So many games get the "horror" label, but I'm not often that scared by them. Take this year's Alan Wake 2, for example. It's a great thriller with some genuinely spooky moments, but otherwise the biggest frights were FMV jump scares that felt like those old troll YouTube videos where an exorcist face would pop outta nowhere. Cynthia Weaver, you are on notice: if you pull that on me one more time I will point a flare gun at you and pull the trigger... Read more.
