• Amnesia: The Dark Descent Competition - Plan An Escape!

    Discussion in 'News' started by Hectic Glenn, Jan 28, 2011.

    We have 5 copies of Amnesia: The Dark Descent to give away thanks to Frictional Games. Amnesia is one of the most highly acclaimed indie titles of last year and is guaranteed to make you weep in fear.
    For the competition we want you to help BlueWolf72 as he has been captured and held in a cell for the last 6 months, we've just located him from intelligence from a government man. We need to help him escape using the items at disposal in his cell. He is on the top floor of a prison on a remote outcrop of rock in the middle of the sea. We have provided a rowing boat as a means of escape. He just needs your help to get to the boat. We received the following note:


    </font>We want you to send us your plan of escape using just 5 items from the list below. Of the 5 you choose, each one must fulfil a purpose, you may use them in anyway you see fit. The more creative you are the better!
    Send your entries to competitions@halflife2.net with your HL2.net username in the email subject. One entry per user, competition closes 1st February @ 11.59am GMT. Good luck!

    List of items:

    I take all of the items, return to my home, and play the copy of Amnesia I already have. Occasionally, I think of BlueWolf alone in his cell, and I smile.

    I'd play if I didn't already have the game. It is indeed fantastic.

    Also, for clarification purposes, are you supposed to be playing an outside man trying to break Bluewolf out, or are you playing Bluewolf and trying to escape on your own?

    Glad to see the competitions are back! Too bad I already own (and beat) the game, but I highly recommend people try to win this game as it's fantastic.

    I had a lot of fun making this. Depending on if there's more than one guard, I have an alternative ending!

    EDIT: Whoops, didn't realize you were supposed to email!

    REMOVED ENTRY!

    A fantastic game, I already have it myself, has to be one of the best horror games I've ever played

    We are sending BlueWolf the plans of escape for him to break out, not you breaking in to help him. He's not a charity you know...

    We have another excellent game for the next competition too, so keep an eye out for that as well next week.

    Oh nice. I was eying up this game a little. Hopefully I'll be able to get an entry in tomorrow.

    Amnesia is a great game, hope the copies go to people who will take the time and effort to appreciate it (lights off, headphones, open mind attitude that isn't "HAHA THIS PUSSY SHIT WILL NEVER SCARE ME")

    by the way, I am DISAPPOINT. whoever made that graphic... papyrus? really? :(

    No one else mentioned it yet? BIOZEMINADES! ELITE ones! Holy Hell!


    And I don't even know who BlueWolf is...

    One person from the entries so far (and probably Riomhaire) has successfully made a the cryptic link between one of the items and the guard. I'm very happy to see that! There is another item I've only seen used once so far (not in the most effective way!) which could be very helpful, I wonder if anyone will work it out before Tuesday...

    hahah I see wut u did thar.

    I'm ineligible for this and all other HL2net comps, so I can't enter, but I sure know how to kill the biozeminade at least... :D

    didn't seem very subtle to me, I'd expect more people would catch on given how many old school members are still around that remember the details of that joke, but I guess we'll see! Excited to see the entries, the community's creative side is always fun to explore.

    Oh it is indeed, I'm worried for the sanity of some of those who have entered. I'm certain you need to be on some kind of controlled substance to think of some of these ideas :p

    I actually had to find a link to the original pic (and use the way back machine to make that link work) to remember. It's difficult to remember ever detail. I only remembered the bit about them being able to make themselves look good.

    **** **** **** ****.


    Just finished writing my thing, using every item, then I noticed we were only supposed to use five of them.

    Edit: Rewrote and submitted entry. Finally!

    I was looking forward to doing this once I finished a large stack of Literature work, but unfortunately time zones are my intellectual nemesis and it's quite late in the night, so I will have to figure out whether I'm too late or not in the morning tomorrow. I'm not extremely bothered anyway, since I'm not in on the joke and wouldn't make the necessary connection.

    Yeah, I've figured that out now, I'm still contemplating whether any of my ideas are worth bothering with.

    Piss in the side panel of the toaster, dunk the leather from the boots in the liquid and cook it up with the lighter.

    You even have a spork so you can eat with dignity.

    Now, stop complaining ;)

    When will we find out how BlueWolf escaped?

    Also, how is he posting on here if the toaster is broken!?
    Dun Dun Duuuuun!

    Winners are:

    1. kgwhipp - a doppelgänger gnome bodyguard or moon boots? I still don't know what I prefer.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. YouKnow - I recommend you patent that Toast Flail properly before Dragons Den finds out about it
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Noir - Who watched too much of Sabrina the teenage witch (hey...we were all teenage boys once)

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. Minteah - Sometimes logic is overrated. Especially if you went to the same school at the soldier from TF2. Minteah certainly did.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. Riomhaire - Excessive creativity with the items, I reckon you could have done it with 3...and in adventure game style. You could be a marriage councillor with this kind of guidance

    Oh damn, I was looking forward to making Bluewolf spray paint the 'his' towel pink to get in touch with his feminine side and seduce the guard, but I forgot entirely. Oh well.
