Patch 1.2 for Amnesia: Rebirth is out now out!

In this patch we believe we’ve finally managed to identify and fix the most serious bug we’ve had left to fix – the one where some players have gotten stuck on black screen immediately after the intro. It was a hardware-related bug which made it particularly difficult to reproduce.

With version 1.2 we also bring you Custom Stories and modding tools! This allows you to create everything from slightly modified versions of the base game to full conversions with all new assets, as well as play other people’s creations. Custom Stories can be uploaded to Steam Workshop. See more info below!

Various blockers and other bugs have also been fixed.

In summary:

Custom Stories can now be selected from the main menu.
The editors used in the development of Amnesia: Rebirth have been added to the install directory of the game.
Fear is no longer increased while reading notes.
Disabling Video Distortion now disables the pulsing tilt and zoom effect while standing in darkness.
Inventory can now be opened with D-Pad Up on gamepads that don’t have a View/Back button.
Fixed a major bug where the game would be stuck on a black screen after the intro.
Fixed a bug where the game would not progress after a major late-game cutscene.
Fixed a bug where some memories could not be replayed from the sketchbook.
Fixed a bug where some objects wouldn’t play sounds while being dragged across the floor.
Various other bugfixes.
