BERLIN: With eerie game worlds and dangerous monsters, the "Amnesia" franchise has established itself as an absolute insider tip in the survival horror game genre. The fourth installment, "The Bunker," doesn't hold back with shock scenarios either.

The game is set during World War One. Players slip into the boots of French soldier Henri Clement who, while trying to save a friend on the battlefield, loses consciousness and wakes up in a dark bunker. At first the shelter seems abandoned, but it soon becomes clear that it's inhabited by a ravenous monster.
