Hard Mode is a gameplay mode for Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the same game as part of Amnesia: Collection for the Xbox One. It is expected to be released for the PlayStation 4 version of Amnesia: Collection by the end of 2018.

Release

Hard Mode was announced by Frictional Games to be released with the Xbox One edition of Amnesia: Collection on September 21st, 2018. It was released for Xbox One and PC on September 28th, 2018; however a bug in the PC version forced Frictional Games to remove the feature, which was re-added on October 2nd, 2018.

Differences

Far more difficult from normal mode, Hard Mode has the following differences:

  • Autosaves are disabled, and manual saving costs 4 tinderboxes.
  • Sanity dropping to zero results in death.
  • Less oil and tinderboxes throughout the levels.
  • Monsters are faster, spot the player more easily, deal more damage and stay around for longer.
  • There is no danger music when the monsters are near (though the monsters themselves still make audible noises).
Masochist

The "Masochist" achievement

Beating Hard Mode will unlock the "Masochist" achievement. However, this mode affects the "Illuminatus" achievement, which cannot be earned during gameplay in Hard Mode as the mode reduces the amount of tinderboxes throughout the level.
