Website is down, so here are links to the code: įrictional Games makes a statement that the titles are not to be considered as entirely ‘free’, drawing comparisons to ‘free speech’ rather than ‘free beer’. You can download the entirety of both titles, and tinker freely with the engine and title. With the announcement, Frictional Games has released both Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs onto GitHub as open-source projects.

What that means is that you can do anything you want to the code to fundamentally alter the title under GPL 3, a copyleft contract (General Public License) that allows users to take parts and bring it into new projects with a heft of legal mumbo-jumbo that ultimately offers users of the open-source code freedoms with certain notes.įrictional Games states in their blog that Amnesia: The Dark Descent has enjoyed a wealth of community support via modding, and now Frictional Games wants the opportunity to offer something back to the community as a means of gratitude for the unwavering support. Whatever your idea of a good time is, Frictional Games classic title Amnesia: The Dark Descent is now offered those that like to poke and tinker in code a massive opportunity, as the title is now officially Open Source. Or you want to bring about a title of Ghostbusters that actually doesn’t blow chunks. Perhaps the idea of giant Anne Hathaway’s plodding after you through a derelict manor is what really nails your fear button.
