In case you’d rather just catch the highlights, we’ve got the breakdown of everything the video covers:

Amnesia: The Bunker Halloween Update Features:

• Shell Shock Difficulty – The game doesn’t get harder than this. Items are randomized, doors and containers are locked, and the game no longer pauses when you enter your inventory. Additionally, the game’s safe room, the Admin Office, now sports a set of very breakable wooden doors. Nowhere is safe.
• Custom Settings – Upon starting a new playthrough, players can adjust a massive slew of parameters to tailor the horror experience to their liking. Here are just a few of the adjustable settings:
  • Generator Run Time Per Fuel Item – You can even set this to infinite so that the generator runs forever once fueled.
  • Torch Burn Time – Want your torches to burn out in just a few minutes? You can do that now.
  • Save System – You can decide whether or not saving at the game’s Save Lamps costs fuel or not. You can also remove the Save Lamps entirely for a permadeath run.
  • Stalker Behavior – You can adjust all sorts of different parameters for the game’s monster, from its reactivity to its lethality to its retreat behavior. You can even enable a toggle to increase its unpredictability.
  • Initial Inventory Size – Want more inventory slots from the get-go? Go ahead and give yourself as many as you’d like.
  • Player Health Regeneration – If you don’t like the game’s healing mechanics, you can give yourself regenerating health to make the game a bit easier.
• Framerate Settings – Players can now run the game at 120fps, which doubles the game’s original 60fps limit.
