The developers at Frictional Games are loving the success of their PC survival/horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Reports are indicating that the game has already sold more than 1.4 million copies since its release, with a lot of attention coming from the fact that it was part of the Humble Indie Bundle and Steam’s Potato Sack Bundle last year.
“Despite that huge number of sales, what I think is more interesting is how good the monthly sales still are,” wrote the developer on its blog. “Not counting any discounts, the monthly full price sales lie at over 10,000 units. This means that less then every 5th minute someone in the world is buying a copy of Amnesia. This is totally insane to me.
“The figures themselves are far beyond any guesses we would have made two years ago. It is also insane because this number is actually higher than it was around three months after initial launch.”
Congrats to the team. And if you haven’t checked out Amnesia yet, you should. Good spooky fun!
