Amnesia: The Dark Descent gets a free expansion!

Amnesia on Steam now comes with with 20% more horror and 10% less cake. Enjoy this brand new flavor of canned horror - manufactured with license by Aperture Science.


(Might contain traces of potatoes)

UPDATE:
Now with the Portal 2 ARG over, we will release the new content, an add-on story called "Justine", for all non-steam versions of the game aswell. And there might be other surprises too ;)

    Great news to hear it won't be steam exclusive forever. I may dislike steam, but I like both Portal and Amnesia. I also like free extra content!

    I click the "Justine" button and I get nothing but a black screen and a crash message when I return to desktop. :C

    But the normal game itself is working properly.

    I made it through but I didn't save anyone. In fact, I killed the first two on purpose? The third one I was just too damn scared to even look at him. D:

    I bought from Frictional directly because I wanted to support the dev. Why don't we get the addon?

    Arf! A Steam exclusivity...

    1) I have already have Amnesia, buy on the Frictional Store.
    2) I have Linux... So, I haven't Steam, sorry...
    3) ... No three... :P

    Thanks for the free expansion!

    I hope you guys have also profited a lot from this promotion. Enough to make more games like Amnesia, of course ;)

    Also, is there any way that I can donate directly to Frictional Games? I already have the games, I wouldn't want to buy them twice. Is there any way to make a direct monetary donation?

    could you atleast give us a hint as to when it'll be available for the non steam purchases. I think it's kind of mean to release it on steam first and then make us wait, when we bought it straight from you guys.

    I thought that the April the 1st post was just a joke, but it was so much more!

    You crazy people from Frictional, and your other crazy accomplices!!!
    Why weren't we informed of this ARG-thing?!
    I never knew such thing even existed, much less that u people were involved...

    What an elaborate mind-f*ck!

    To the Linux users - do not worry, and actually read the article. It may seem a little bit like we are being treated as second class citizens because of the lack of Steam, but they said they will get it working on the other versions, and that in the end is all we could ask for.

    Since Portal 2 is released, hopefully a save feature would be added making online let's plays more easily done. I enjoyed the DLC, despite feeling the ending to be a bit rushed. Perhaps had this been more psychological and that in the end, we have a final confrontation with the father (in Justine's mind and thus sealing her demons) then this DLC could have been it's own game.
