Is this a Demo?

No, it's not a demo, it's a tool.

What is a "Performance Benchmark Tool"?

Performance Benchmark Tool is a stress test that will test your hardware in the most complex and demanding area of Amygdala on Unreal Engine 5.

Through different game shots in real time, the progress of your FPS (Frame per second) will be calculated over time and at the end of the test you will be given a summary evaluation.

How do I know if the game will work well?

When you start the benchmark you will be able to evaluate the fluidity of the game and the visual quality yourself

I recommend a performance of 30FPS to ensure that the title is playable, 60FPS for the best possible experience.

But keep in mind that this is still a stress test, performance in the full game may be different.

Low FPS, high-performance PC, why?

As previously mentioned, this situation it is given by the optimization, at the end of the benchmark an evaluation will be displayed with the components of your PC, if you want to share this info with the community it would help to understand on which hardware it works better or worse.

From personal experience, the game runs very well with an nvidia GPU. But here, I'm basing it on the limited testing of two PCs.

Amygdala New Screenshots!

In these new screenshots you will be able to see new creatures and areas!

...More pre-launch info!

Will there be a demo of Amygdala?

No, there will be no demos for Amygdala. The title is already a short game in itself, it focuses a lot on the first experience and the surprise effect, in my vision a demo for Amygdala could compromise the final experience.

What is the completion time for Amygdala?

Hard to say since I've only tried it myself. Knowing well where to find each object and the path to take. My longest run, exploring everything was about 2 hours. I won't lie and inflate the title;

But the game can be speedrun and finished in just under 30 minutes. I didn't lengthen the game with bland content or make it difficult for the sake of locking the player into play time.

I hope you will appreciate this transparency, please do not abuse Steam's refund option.

Will there be achievements and cards?

Yes, the achievements will be available at launch, as far as the compatibility of the cards is concerned, the title must first be eligible by the Steam regulation, once done it will have total compatibility!

Launch event

I'm also happy to announce that during the first few days of the game's release there will be an Amygdala social event on steam, more information on this event later in time;

I hope I have been clear in everything, feel free to ask anything, I will try to answer everyone!

Thanks for the support ❤️ Antonino Truisi
