Amnesia: The Dark Descent (previously known as Lux Tenebras or Unknown) is an upcoming graphic adventure horror game being developed by Frictional Games, who previously developed the Penumbra series.
he game casts the player in the role of Daniel, who awakens in a dark castle with little or no memories about himself or his past. All that he can remember is his name and that something is hunting him.
The game's story seems to be, at least in part, inspired by the short story The Outsider. This makes sense when considering the frequent homages the developers make to the author H.P. Lovecraft and his works. Even the engine which powers all Frictional Games's titles, the HPL Engine, bears the aforementioned author's initials.
