Halloween Countdown 1: Amnesia sales hit one Million!

Halloween is closing in. Stores have already put costumes on the shelves. And GeekBeerz has many plans for the scary Holiday.

Halloween countdown will report any news concerning that of scary Horror games, Movies, TV shows, etc.
 All which will lead up to Halloween nights itself where we will hopefully have our second Halloween Special!!! (which will be episode 12 or 13).

Anyways, the Horror PC game that has Horror fans at a wow has just past 1 Million sales!

For anyone who doesn't know, the game follows the tale of a character named Daniel. Daniel awakens in a Prussian Castle with little to know memory of anything or how how he got there, he only remembers his name. Daniel discovers a note written to himself, from which he learns that he has deliberately erased his own memory, and that he needs to descend into the Inner Sanctum of the castle to kill the Baron, Alexander. The game is currently available for PC (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Cloud)  by Steam or Retail.


Frictional Games revealed that nearly 1.4 million people have purchased Amnesia: the Dark Descent. According to a Blog post from the developer, 710,000 copies of the game were sold directly, as well as sales from inclusions in the Humble Indie Horror and Steam’s Potato Sack Reunion. Overall, the sales add up to 1,360,000 units in all.
“Despite that huge number of sales, what I think is more interesting is how good the monthly sales still are,” Frictional noted. “Not counting any discounts, the monthly full price sales lie at over 10,000 units. This means that less than every 5th minute someone in the world is buying a copy of Amnesia.”

On a side note, it's sequel, Amnesia: a Machine for Pigs, will come out within the first quarter of 2013, and will apparently takes place in the same universe as dark descent but follows completely new characters.
