Some of you might have heard about the PC game called Amnesia:Dark Descent, a horror game that came out last year and is being considered one of the best in the genre.

Well, it turns out sales have been far better than what the developers, Frictional Games, were expecting, and this has saved them from bankruptcy.

There´s a message from the team on this page:http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com/2011/01/four-months-after-amnesias-release.html

It´s a bit of a long read, but really interesting for people on VGChartz, since it´s a sales site.

But an important part is this, straight from the devs:

As for our plans to focus on consoles, as hinted above, this is something we are reconsidering. If online sales figures continue like they have with Amnesia, there is actually not any reason for us to release to anything but PC. Still, it would be foolish not to try consoles out and our current idea is to work together with a third party to do a port. This would mean that we can still can keep a small staff and not risk growing beyond our capabilities.

I just want to say I own this and this game is awesome.

Now you can look forward to their next game, since they´ll now be able to keep making them :)

And about their next project?....here´s what they say:

We are also hard at work with our new game which we are extremely excited about. While we still do not want to disclose to much, our goal is to take "experience based gameplay" to another level. We aim to use the emotions that Amnesia was able to provoke and to focus them in a different direction, which will hopefully give delightfully disturbing results.

Well I also own their previous games too, im a cool dude for supporting them for at least 3 games.

Yay.

i must get this game and force it to work on my laptop,it sounds up my street

i'll have to order it online as i can never find it in the pc section of my tiny game shops

Nice to see another penumbra fan on the chartz
