Påminnelserna

Påminnelserna is a Swedish-language interactive drama video game series developed by Swedish company Frictional Games. The series consists of three main games: Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, and Amnesia: Rebirth.

The first game in the series, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, was released in 2010 to critical acclaim. The game follows Daniel, a man who wakes up in a castle with no memory of who he is or why he is there. As he navigates the castle, he discovers that he suffers from a condition that causes him to experience intense and terrifying hallucinations, and that he must avoid monsters in order not to die. The game features a unique mechanic that allows players to focus on exploration and puzzle-solving rather than combat.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, released in 2013, is a sequel to The Dark Descent, set in a different time and place. The game follows Oswald Mandus, a wealthy entrepreneur who returns to his family's estate to find it overrun by monsters. This game received mixed reviews from critics and fans, but is still considered a cult classic.

Amnesia: Rebirth, released in 2020, is a follow-up to The Dark Descent, rather than A Machine for Pigs. The game follows Tasi, a character who suffers from amnesia and is in search of a cure for her condition. Like its predecessors, the game is known for its psychological horror elements and first-person perspective.

Throughout the series, Frictional Games has been praised for their focus on storytelling, atmosphere, and gameplay, as well as their commitment to delivering a horror gaming experience that is immersive and unsettling. The series has developed a loyal fanbase, and has had a lasting impact on the video game industry.
