14 DAY TRIAL // If you've always wanted to finish Amnesia: Rebirth but couldn't due to the fear-inducing moments, then you're in luck. The folks at Frictional Games decided to add a so-called Adventure Mode to the game, which made its debut on PC last month.
Starting today, the Adventure Mode is available to everyone who plays Amnesia: Rebirth on either PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. And the best thing is that it's totally free. But what exactly is Adventure Mode and how it impacts the game?
To put it simply, the new Adventure Mode lets players enjoy the game’s rich adventure story without the threat of monsters or darkness. If you're not a fan of the horror genre, this is the best way to experience the fantastic quest of Tasi Trianon with its captivating narrative, cool environments, unique theme, and challenging puzzles.
Gameplay-wise, the new mode removes all life-threatening encounters with monsters, as well as the harrowing sound and visual effects that would affect Tasi’s fear levels. Also, the environments are now lit up to a point where players won’t have the same feeling of claustrophobia and trepidation, allowing them to explore freely without worrying about monsters or Tasi’s mental state.
It's important to mention though that the new Adventure Mode includes some bonus puzzles that add up to the experience of a true Lovecraftian mystery adventure novel.
“The game still has its very serious theme and sometimes unnerving ambiance, but the new mode feels a lot more like an Indiana Jones type of adventure in places where it would otherwise be more of a horror experience,” explains Fredrik Olsson.
But wait, there's more. Developers announced that in addition to the new Adventure Mode, this update brings an upgrade for PlayStation 5 players delivering a smoother visual experience with the game running on higher frame rates - 60 FPS as opposed to 30 FPS which is the cap for PlayStation 4 consoles.
