What is Amnesia: The Dark Descent about?

The game, set in 1839, casts the player in the role of Daniel, a young man from London, who awakens in the dark halls of Prussian Brennenburg Castle with little to no memory about himself or his past. All he can remember is his name, that he lives in Mayfair and that something is hunting him. Shortly after waking, Daniel finds a note written by himself that explains how he purposely made himself forget his past, because he couldn't handle losing his innocence, so he wanted to forget it all. The note urges Daniel to descend into the castle's Inner Sanctum and murder a man named Alexander , the baron of the castle. The note gives a final warning that a "living nightmare" is chasing him, and Daniel must escape it for as long as he can because there is no way to fight back.

Should I stream Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Twitch?

9/100 · Closed off· 15 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 93% of the 105 people watching Amnesia: The Dark Descent in English, leaving about 7 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 7 of the 105 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 5 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #2.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is Amnesia: The Dark Descent too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 7 people are streaming Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and the two biggest English streams hold 93% of the 105 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

  • “Just 100%ed the game, so here is my take: For a 16-year-old game, it holds up very well. The graphics are definitely dated, but gameplay > graphics all day. Honestly, I scared the absolute crap out of myself. The first playthrough was genuinely terrifying. Pro…”

  • “It may sound a little bit silly, but this is is the only game I was legit terrified to beat to the end. To imagine this was more than 10 years ago... Still, I have beaten the game 2 or 3 years ago, and I can tell that if you've never played any Frictional Game…”
