Description: Gherman Driven, a middle-aged man, fanatical conspiracy theorist, who has abandoned all joy of his life. Family, friends, work. Gherman remained without anything because of his obsession with the “Philadelphia experiment”, which led him to neglect every other aspect of his life. 11 years after the events of the alleged experiment, Gherman found a document that marked the coordinates of the military establishment in which all involved in the project were taken. After spending all the savings of a lifetime for a trip to Greenland, certainly he did not expect to find so much…

Review: If you love your story-driven horror games Amigdala is the game for you. With various puzzles to solve and clues to find there are lots to see and do even if some of it is a little unpleasant. I will own up to the fact that I am a fan of the Philadelphia experiment theory anyway, so this game was always going to be right up my street. But luckily it looks great, feels very atmospheric and has a good couple of hours gameplay.

Everything about this game looks and feels good and it is clear a lot of love and hard work has gone into it. Personal I find any sort of horror game scary in virtual reality, but throw in some weird conspiracy theory into the mix and you have yourself an adventure game that will get the grey matter working on the puzzles and will make your heart beating faster and faster with each passing fright. This is one game that should be picked up and turned into a full game immediately.
