Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010) - Tips and Tricks
• The game has no traditional cheat codes, but it does have console commands: you can enable the console from the main menu on PC and use community-documented commands like god mode (invincibility) or give_tsanity to restore sanity.
• Monsters cannot be killed: the only strategies are running or hiding. Break their line of sight and put distance between you to make them lose track of you.
• Staying in darkness drains your sanity, but creatures detect you more easily with the lantern lit. Learn to manage your oil: save it for the most dangerous sections.
• Oil bottles and tinderboxes are limited resources; search drawers and shelves in every room before moving on.
• If spotted, closing doors won't stop monsters, but it buys you precious seconds to break their line of sight and change routes.
• Throwing physical objects can briefly distract creatures or jam doors; the physics engine is a key part of many puzzles.
• Looking directly at monsters lowers your sanity: keep your gaze away from them even when they're close.
• The PC version supports custom stories created by the community, adding new campaigns and puzzles once you finish the main game.
