Amnesia: The Bunker

Amnesia: The Bunker places you in a WW1 underground bunker hunted by a single AI-driven monster that dynamically responds to sound and light. Unlike earlier Amnesia titles, it emphasizes resource management — fuel for the generator, ammo scavenged from lockers — and allows more agency than pure hiding. The monster's behavior is procedural rather than scripted, making each run feel different.
