addedAre you a Linux or a Mac user? Amnesia: The Dark Descent's Hard Mode update is now creeping onto your platforms too! Don't know what the Hard Mode is? Here's a reminder. It is really just as the title suggests: a mode that makes it harder to beat the game. You know, in case it wasn’t stressful enough for you. The Hard Mode has the following features: - Autosaves are disabled, and manual saving costs 4 tinderboxes - Sanity dropping to zero results in death - Less oil and tinderboxes throughout the levels - Monsters are faster, spot the player more easily, deal more damage and stay around for longer - There is no danger music when the monsters are near. So in summary: the environments are harsher, the monsters more unforgiving, insanity is deadly, and death is final – unless you pay a toll. You can pick between normal mode and Hard Mode when starting a new game of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The mode changes some fundamental elements of the game, and therefore can’t be changed halfway through. Beating the game on Hard Mode will earn you a new trophy called Masochist. Because, you know, you pretty much have to be one to complete the mode. The mode affects the Illuminatus achievement, which you can’t get during playing in Hard Mode as it reduces the amount of tinderboxes throughout the level. Missed our release last week? You can also play the Hard Mode on Windows!
