History WMG / AmnesiaTheDarkDescent

Much like with SilentHill2, the unsavory events that have occured in this locale may have desecrated the area, luring in individuals who have become burdened with guilt over past events. Once lured, the GeniusLoci subjects them to entrapment within the castle and a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind. If the subject can overcome their burdens, they are able to leave without incident. With one of the levels in the baseline game inspired by the original Silent Hill, a sequel or expansion that follows this design philosophy at the developers' discretion sounds promising.

* Daniel probably never had kids or displayed romantic interest in anyone (if he had, it would have most likely been mentioned in his journals), so he couldn't have had a direct descendant. However, DummiedOut information says he had a sister named Hazel, and it's possible ''she'' had children and had Oswald as a direct descendant. Or any other siblings Daniel had.

* If he really needed that light, he could have picked up the entire table, but apparently, it's nailed to the flood too.
** you mean floor.

* If that were true, why isn't Daniel brought with Alexander rather than left behind? Is it an old-model TARDIS that has to be rebuilt from scratch and blueprints every time a Time Lord needs to relocate?

* Jossed. The next game, as far as this Troper knows, anyways, has nothing to do with The Dark Descent.

[[WMG: The Shadow is the [[{{Zork}} Grue]].]]

The only time we ever see his hands are when he holds the lantern.

Centuries before the events of Amnesia take place, Alexander's TARDIS crashed landed on Earth. (In Prussia to be exact.) His TARDIS was damaged beyond repair and spent centuries trying to rebuild it. Daniel's orb was a key element that he needed to complete it and be able to return to Gallifrey and reunite with his lover. The orb chamber where Daniel and Alexander have their final standoff is the control room to Alexander's TARDIS which is disguised as a chamber in Brennenburg.

[[WMG: Alexander is a [[DoctorWho Time Lord]].]]

Like the Grue, it's an EldritchAbomination that apparently lurks in total darkness where it devours its prey. And besides the residue it leaves behind, you never actually get to see what it looks like, just like the Grue.

It will go by the most interesting ending option, that Agrippa and Weyer helped him to ascend to the other plane of existence. But he still keeps some kind of connection to our world, and communicates through some kind of portal or otherworldly artifacts to help the new protagonist, who will be a relative of his, or otherwise connected to him in some manner. Basically, Daniel will be the Agrippa of the new game.

Granted, it doesn't make much sense, but it ''would'' explain why their lips do not move while they talk, why they can talk while gasping for air, and also the weird warping sound effect surrounding their voices. Well, the first two can be explained away by programming, but given that the prisoners talk fairly normally, the latter is especially weird...

[[WMG: The plot of the game is loosely based on [[HPLovecraft H.P. Lovecraft's]] ''The Case of Charles Dexter Ward'']]

If you take the best ending of Justine as canon, since it is the 100% completed ending then Justine is probably screwed. There are three prisoners that she captured that are capable enough to free themselves from their shackles after you "save them". There's one door blocked by a beam preventing their escape. Do you really think they couldn't escape? There's plenty of food and water in the dungeons to keep them going (the potatoes). Two of the "monsters" aren't crazy and only want to kill Justine which is plenty of reason to help the prisoners escape. One problem would be dealing with Malo who is blind, slow, hungry, and slowly being suffocated by his torture device. I'm pretty sure the prisoners can take him. The other problem is Alois who still loves Justine, but it might be possible to convince him to help. There plenty of tools the prisoners can use to make a battering ram of sorts or to dislodge rocks next to the door to create their own exit. Plus, the servants might get suspicious when they hear six men screaming in the basement. The police could easily found out that three of the six missing men dated Justine even if they didn't have DNA or any of our modern technology today. There is already suspicion that Justine kidnapped Alois. The three prisoners are in the same neighborhood as the women who probably kidnapped her three lovers. It might make people suspicious that she procured chemicals that are meant to knock people out. I know there are stories of people in that time period that got away with murders, but I don't think many of them had such damning evidence against them. It doesn’t help that Alois and Malo are semi-famous as a racquet ball player and as musician respectively. Plus, many of those murderers moved constantly and, thus, were hard to track down. On top of all of it, she isn't a baron like Alexander, and thus she couldn't even give the excuse that the men screaming in her basement were supposed to be imprisoned. Yeah, I'm 75% sure that Justine is screwed and is going to be caught.

Both of them are centuries-old bad guys, harvesting some kind of life-force through violent means. Their reasons for doing so are also similar (''Blazing Sword'' spoilers in Nergal's case) : Alexander wants to reunite with his "love", and so does Nergal (though he has forgotten that). Going by this logic, Agrippa is the unlucky counterpart of Athos.

[[WMG:Justine has SplitPersonality.]]

[[WMG:The next game have Daniel and Justine's faces be shown.]]

Daniel more or less became a DeathSeeker after he learned the truth about his victims, but he either couldn't get up the nerve to kill himself, or felt that it wouldn't make up for his crimes. A compromise was the mind-wipe, which freed him from his feelings of guilt, and enabled him to go on the fool's errand of killing Alexander. Past Daniel fully expected Present Daniel to die horribly on his quest, as atonement for his crimes. Past Daniel must have thought that even death at the hands of Mr. Face or Mr. Tall would be preferably to living with the knowledge that he himself became a monster.

Each time the player sees the rose petals in the game, something damning or incredibly important happens to Daniel. The first instance is the note Daniel writes to himself. The other instance comes much later in the game when the player has their second interactive flashback in game, where Daniel is performing a ritual and chanting his [[MadnessMantra madness mantra]].

Each time I can recall seeing the rose petals in the game, something damning or incredibly important happens to Daniel. The first instance is the note Daniel writes to himself.

Oh, there's plenty enough of differences to avoid being a ripoff, but the amount of similarities is still strong. A young, aspiring occultist seeks council from an older mystic who is decidedly more amoral and not quite human, who manipulates the younger man to become an accomplice in acts he never thought himself capable of. A massive underground tunnel complex where undead people are tortured for information, as well as monstrous guards made from dead humans are also present. The visit to another necromancer who lives in an old European castle is also mentioned in the book, as well as the possibility to travel beyond the boundaries of this world and summoning inhuman forces from the same place.
