Frictional Games, the developer of Amnesia: Rebirth, announced the game is about to receive an unusual update. The new Adventure Mode completely removes monsters and horror from the game. This way, the player can fully focus on the plot and gameplay.
The mod not only removes the monsters but also adds many other innovations. For example, there will be a lot more puzzles and quests in each location. Also, the developers have worked on the lighting to remove the depressing atmosphere. In this mode, the game looks more like an Indiana Jones-style adventure than a horror game.
According to Fredrik Olsson, the product’s creative leader, this could attract more fans for the franchise. Previously, the studio released Safe Mode for SOMA, its previous game, in a similar way. It gave the players, which hadn’t liked the original version, a way to enjoy the game. Therefore, the developers hope that Adventure Mode will be able to expand the product’s audience as well.
However, SOMA did not rely as much on monsters as Amnesia. This fact makes it hard to predict how successful the new idea will be.
The update will be delivered free of charge to users who bought the game on Steam, Epic Store, or GOG.
