This DLC adds eight stories to the game. If you've played the also free "Security: Stories By the Fans" game you will recognize the four stories from that also being in this DLC, plus an additional four brand new ones.

While I personally think the main game and the previous DLC ("Stories by Horror Experts") both keep an ever so slightly higher average quality for their stories, this one's still practically as good as, and easily worth playing through if you generally enjoyed the game. It's also completely free!

This was a really good addition to the main game. The three new stories were all fun, but the one by The Mason Scale stands out as the only story in the entire game(not just this DLC) that actually worked on a fear level. That one got my heart beating faster. I did feel it lacked a good tension release, though. But overall, really good!

This is a quite fun game with very simplistic gameplay, making it easy to just pick up and play. The fact that you can play through a story in just a few minutes also helps in that sense.

I personally don't find it to be at all scary, just tinged in horror themes that vary from story to story. Though some stories do add situations that can increase the stress a bit.

Overall it's quite enjoyable, and I absolutely recommend it!

Amnesia: Rebirth goes a lot heavier in on the storytelling compared to both The Dark Descent and A Machine For Pigs. It's a lot more cinematic, and the story itself is really good - with multiple subplots. We also get to know a lot more about the world we just had a taste of in The Dark Descent.

Keep in mind that if you expect it to be the same as The Dark Descent, you will not have your expectations met. The game will take away control or slow down for various cutscenes and flashbacks, and there is a lot of that. If you're playing for the story, this won't bother you at all: It's all very seamless and masterfully done! But if you're playing for the gameplay, you'll quickly start to wish it was possible to skip all the cutscenes - but only a very select few can be skipped, and none of the really long ones(like the intro). Which I think is the one negative thing I have to say about this game. Because of this, it doesn't lend itself well to replayability.

But other than that, this is a fantastic game that is a very good addition to the Amnesia series, and definitely the one you'll learn the most about the Amnesia universe from.

A wonderful addition to the Amnesia series, The Bunker turns the horror adventure series into actual survival horror in the classic sense! Resource management, backtracking, choosing between fighting and fleeing, solving puzzles, exploration... it's all there! And it's all so fine tuned and perfected.

The game has gameplay similar to that of The Dark Descent and Rebirth, with a structure more akin to that of the original Resident Evil games from the 90s, the stalker enemy(Nemesis) from RE3, and a WW1 setting.

The introduction of weapons is subversive, as it's practically just another tool: You can't kill the monster with it! At best you can hurt it and make it flee, but only if you have the ammo for it - and ammo is very, very scarce! And you might have to save that one bullet you have for shooting off a padlock or ignite gasoline. There is one enemy you can actually kill in the game, but even then you can choose to instead sneak past. And then there are the rats, of course...

When you have completed it once, you're able to unlock "New Game+" options, which essentially lets you decide a lot of difficulty parameters. One of the choices is to add fuse boxes to the game, which is required for Shell Shock difficulty. And I can highly advise playing the game with this on! It makes the game feel so good, as it adds another puzzle step that feels natural, and incentivises more exploration(to find fuses). It almost feels like this was the intended way to play, and then Frictional Games removed them from the standard way to play to make it easier. But I don't think it makes it any harder, just more fun!

Honestly, this was absolutely fantastic!

Another great "find 'em all" game in the "FIND ALL" series, though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of later entries(animations, connected levels, more interactivity, etc.). But especially considering it's free, it's a great starting point if you're interested in checking out this series. The extra level DLC is also good, and worth it if you want more.

The best "find 'em all" series returns, and it's the best game in the series thus far! Loved this - especially all the neat animations, and the visual storytelling! :D

A very good "find 'em all" game. Among the best I've played. (Most are from this developer!)

Short, but fun anomaly game.

Pretty good for one of these. Surprisingly many levels(15)! Also, not too hard, though difficulty vary between each level.

My only critique is the pixelated style of the third to last(I think) level, which was really, really hard on the eyes. And I even wondered if I'd accidentally changed some graphics option. That singular level was starting to give me a headache. (Luckily, none of the levels take long to complete.)
