Amnesia: Rebirth (2020) Stay Away From The Desert

This week on Critical Arcade, Dave and Nick stumble out of the safety of daylight and into the suffocating terror of Amnesia: Rebirth, Frictional Games’ 2020 return to psychological horror. Set in the vast, sun-scorched deserts of Algeria, this isn’t your average vacation. Taking control of Tasi Trianon, the duo must piece together a shattered memory, survive ancient ruins, and avoid the monstrous creatures lurking just beyond the flicker of their lantern.But light is a luxury in this nightmare. As the shadows close in, Tasi’s sanity begins to unravel — and so do Dave and Nick’s. Dave desperately clings to his last match while Nick insists that sprinting blindly through the dark is a viable strategy. Between heart-stopping chases, cryptic alien technology, and moral choices that would make even a philosopher sweat, the pair must uncover the truth behind Tasi’s mysterious condition and the haunting events that brought her here.Can Dave overcome his crippling fear of low-light environments? Will Nick finally learn that looking directly at monsters is a terrible idea? And just how many times can two grown men scream over a baby monitor before it becomes comedy instead of horror?Join the Critical Arcade crew as they try to keep their wits (and their pants) intact in a journey that proves in Amnesia: Rebirth, fear isn’t just in the dark… it is the dark.
