A série Amnesia é uma das séries de jogos de terror mais bem conceituadas de todos os tempos e, embora possa não ter um perfil tão alto quanto o Resident Evil , está lá em cima em qualidade. So, if you're looking for a new scare, here's how to play all Amnesia games in order.
None of the Amnesia games are direct sequels, so you can, in theory, play them in any particular order without feeling lost. There's no Albert Wesker, no Chris Redfield, or any other recurring characters that you're expected to know about.
However, if you want to experience them properly, I'd advise that you play them in the order they're released, and I'll explain why. Here's our Amnesia game order guide.
Amnesia: Dark Descent is the first game in the series, taking place in a Prussian Castle. Your protagonist wakes up with next to no memory and discovers he is being pursued by an otherworldly force. This eerie game gets you into the habit of hiding rather than fighting; most of the Amnesia games don't let you battle the monsters.
Anteminado com amnésia: a descendência sombria , essa é tecnicamente uma expansão, mas, em vez de continuar o enredo de Amnésia, conta uma história não relacionada. Ele está ambientado em 1858 e o lança como uma protagonista diferente, que acorda em um estilo de serra , onde ela é encarregada de resgatar seus colegas prisioneiros. However, this doesn't have a save system; get caught once and it's game over, unlike Amnesia: The Dark Descent . So if you're low on patience, you might want to skip this.
This entry takes place in Victorian London, with your wealthy industrialist protagonist trying to track down his missing sons. It's the only game not made by Frictional and was instead developed by The Chinese Room. It's more of a walking simulator than the original since while there is a puzzle or three, monster encounters are minimal.
A member of an African expedition survives a plane crash but finds the rest of her team is missing, her memory more than a little hazy. Comparado aos jogos anteriores de amnésia , este título tem seu protagonista cobrindo mais terreno, com alguns ambientes diversos, mas ainda é um jogo de terror.
Situado durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, isso é um pouco de partida para a série, pois tudo acontece em uma localização relativamente pequena, o bunker titular. Amnesia: The Bunker casts you as a soldier who's locked in with a light-hating monster. You're armed, but your weapon will only drive it away temporarily.
With one exception, the series' timeline moves forward with each entry. Here's how the games fit on the Amnesia timeline.
A Frictional Games não anunciou um novo título da série no momento da redação deste artigo, mas ficaria muito surpreso se tivéssemos uma amnésia moderna, já que muitos dos charme dos jogos decorrem de seus cenários históricos.
Can you play all the Amnesia games in order? Absolutely, and that's the order I'd recommend if you're going that route. However, it's not compulsory. Se você deseja pular para a série Amnesia e tem pouco tempo, eu recomendo que você toque a amnésia original: a descida sombria e a amnésia: o bunker .
Por que? Because these two are largely unconnected, other than that the protagonist is suffering from amnesia, enough to excuse the title. Amnesia: The Bunker was set to have a stronger connection to the original Amnesia , but that appears to have been dropped.

The Amnesia games don't share a single story, but they do share several themes and elements. Estes incluem:
Quer saber mais? Then I'll explain but be prepared for some serious Amnesia storyline spoilers.
Each game does tell a distinct story, but there are subtle story connections between some of the games, particularly involving the Orbs. Here are Amnesia’s storyline connections explained.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent . We're introduced to the otherworldly Orb artifacts and the Shadow, which pursues the holder of the Orb. We also learn that a substance known as “vitae” can be extracted from living humans. Daniel drank an amnesia potion so he could get past his guilt at his involvement in Alexander's experiment.
Amnesia: Justine . Justine's father is in possession of a star-shaped stone, which is associated with the Orbs, though it's not an Orb itself. Justine uses the stone to kill her father. Justine gave herself amnesia to test if she had any love for humanity left.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs . O protagonista Mandus foi conduzido a construir a máquina depois de descobrir um objeto em um templo asteca, um ovo, que é fortemente sugerido em ser um orbe. His madness led his soul to 'split', leading to his amnesia.
Amnesia: Rebirth . Vitae is mentioned again, as The Gate Builders use it to extend their lifespan. The Shadow also reappears, and protagonist Tasi finds an Orb though she has bigger problems to deal with. The substance she was tricked into drinking gave her amnesia.
Amnesia: The Bunker. There's no specific connection to the previous games here. Some people have found an Orb in the game's files, though it doesn't appear in-game. Henri's amnesia came from the injury he suffered while on patrol.
So, there are some minor story elements shared between the games, mostly involving the Orbs or their influence. You needn't worry that you'll feel lost jumping into any of the games since they don't specifically rely on knowledge of earlier entries. There's no set number of Orbs, so one could figure into a sequel.
Ultimately, the strongest connection between the games is that the protagonist has partial or total amnesia. Sometimes this amnesia is self-inflicted, and they're struck by some dramatic realization that has remained hidden from them; whether that's trauma they've suffered or something they've done but seriously regret.
So, that's how to play all Amnesia games in order, but you can jump into any of the games and still follow the storyline.
