Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Music - Daniel's Ending

[@SteelShroom256]

_It was my greatest triumph, and I never looked back._ _You think I was afraid, fleeing Brennenburg? Quite the contrary._ _I knew that it was my purgatory - hellfire made to wash away my sins._ _There is no denying the things I've done. But I have paid my tribute. I gave them that awful man..._ _...I did the right thing._

[@jwp1660]

This game is a lot different than any other game. The thing about this game is that Daniel's character is actually like someone you would see in real life. He's afraid of the dark, monsters, and he actually stops and says stuff in the game like,"I must find her!" But the thing is that in other games, you get hit a whole like 600 times and still don't die. This game is about 90% realistic.

[@aiohirumadoka2035]

Daniel is my hero...I don't know were I'd be without him..

[@the_jennittles]

Just finished this game today, got this ending. I nearly cried when this music began, and when Daniel's final dialog played. When I bought this game, I expected it to be nothing more than a game full of jump-scares and tedious puzzles. I bought it for the fright factor, and nothing more. I never expected it to be such a beautiful work of art. Truly this game needs to be recognized, not only for its astonishing atmosphere and gameplay, but for its unforgettable story.

[@Colbatros]

After a whole game of freaking out in a dark room, never knowing when deformed monsters will pop out of nowhere, I believe this song is well deserved.

[@Urchino1337]

I Love Daniel and Alexander's voices. I Love the music just as much. I Love the game more than everything that makes it up.

[@methendo7154]

This sounds like dramatic music that would play at a funeral in a movie

[@kranianus5559]

Yes, indeed. ;-;

[@Huussi6]

I totally agree. The feel of the game was totally different when you immersed into the game by reading all the notes and flashbacks through and pondering the story while advancing. Sure I loved the thrill of being scared and spooked out but I loved the story and concept much much more.

[@leadpencil-223]

I love how you didn't just use pictures, but parts from the game, where you could tell that it wasn't a picture because of candlelight, even if the player was still.

[@Jesters76]

Best horror game of all time. Best soundtracks from a game. Best storyline. Best everything. i love this game. it will be my favorite game till the end of time.

[@QuirkyPixieStick]

"It was my greatest triumph...and I never looked back. You think I was afraid fleeing Brennenburg? Quite the contrary. I knew that it was my purgatory -- hellfire made to wash away my sins. There is no denying the things I've done. But I have paid my tribute. I gave them that awful man...I did the right thing."

[@RedMilkproductions]

Beautiful piece, absolutely love it. Amnesia is one of the greatest horror games i've ever played, and Frictional games should be recognized and congratulated for this small piece of art they have spent all their hard earned work on =)

[@GemoDawn]

This music is beautiful. The composer definitely put their heart into this piece, and it was obviously arranged according to how Daniel felt. The great feeling of redemption, freedom, and leaving a hellish nightmare behind him. This game is seriously amazing. Not only because it's scary, but because it's instantly a classic and easily one of my favorite games of this generation.

[@s_morahldax7303]

Beautiful. I really like the atmosphere :)

[@Akamaholic]

Daniel really is a great character. His story follows the hero's journey formula. A regular man who has uncontrollable circumstances force him to leave his home and go to Brennanburg. Throughout his adventure he overcomes his fears of the dark and monsters and even his own crushing remorse. He could have just left Brennanburg after drinking the amnesia potion but he chose to redeem himself, even though a higher power didn't ask him to. He chose to simply to right his wrongs. He overcame all the odds against him and emerged victorious (assuming you chose his ending) and walks away from Brennanburg a changed and stronger man.

[@Mhdlcm]

This game is a truly work of art. Unforgetable. Amazing.

[@kyferis]

*Spoilers* This was the first ending I played and I liked it. But then I felt bad for Agrippa. I mean, he was always there like a friendly relief after a scary bit. (Well, technically not always, but most of the final section.) Plus, I had gone through all the trouble of creating his potion and chopping off his head that it seemed a such a waste not to save him.

[@Tumbleweed_cap]

Listening to the music and reading the comments has brought me to a new perspective of Daniel I can see myself going through this journey more instead of playing a game... It so sad but beautiful

[@juanitopereztoronja]

"It was my greatest tryumph... and I never looked back..."

[@CrypticSHRIEK]

This song makes me sad for some reason. And I haven't even played it yet. :"(

[@jfrancisbf]

Play this game... You will/might be stupendified!!!

[@claycandy53]

What is it about this piece of music that saddens you?

[@CrypticSHRIEK]

***** IDK, it just does...

[@claycandy53]

RemixTheGame I don't understand you. xD

[@FrontlinePeace]

+RemixTheGame Played it yet?

[@Lindwur]

Finished and seriously paid attention to this music. It's one of the happiest pieces of music I've heard in the game (or the ONLY) It's like, as he's walking from Brennenburg, he's walking to a new life... I cried when it played :') What a fantastic game.

[@MaidenofNight]

Not a single dislike on this video. Beautiful song, and an amazing game. I hate scary things, but this game always has me coming back for more.

[@WingsOfASong]

Wow...I never realized how gorgeous this music is. Just...wow.

[@lovepuppy359]

I love the music in the custom stories, it's always so beautiful

[@Raiigen]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a game that forces us to readjust our common knowledge about Good and Evil. In the beginning, we think Daniel is the victim and Alexander the bad guy, but as we progress, we see Daniel is not so innocent himself, showing the capabilities of humans when their own life is threatened. This game shows what time and patience can bring. I really respect Frictional Games for this piece of art and whoever says otherwise is a blind idiot that never played/watched the game.

[@Galendramatik]

Beautiful gameplay footage!

[@clarkispotamia]

Unforgetable game with fantastic music.

[@MrsLachance]

One of the few truly beautiful games out there.

[@flowershroud]

@Puchigardiechan I read that in perfect time with the music.. Thanks for showing the true beauty of Amnesia.. This game is so amazing, I wish I could play it.. But I get scared too easily.. But, I've seen many playthroughs of it, and it is such an amazing game.

[@jespercal]

If I sit back and relax while listening to this music, I get the sickest chills and feeling. I can only describe this song with one word: Legendary

[@Agnusta]

Yep, that's true! And I've started to help Daniel now, by playing Amnesia... Couple of weeks ago I was too scared to try it but now I've completely won my fears. Or maybe almost won, because I still frighten from the suitors, grunts and brutes.

[@EmreYavuzalp]

It really gets less scarier when you do it.

[@namekop11]

i finished the game 2 times and I want again to play when i listen to this beautiful music

[@Hanzy302]

THIS GIVING ME CHILLS !!! SERIOUSLY , I CAN FEEL THEM !!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL , I HAVE TEARS IN MAH EYES !!

[@Darkwind28]

@JennIttlesxo I fully agree. This game was nothing else than a piece of pure art, unforgettable in it's beauty and the impact it had on me. With it's music, lights, and the incredibly climatic and well designed story. A game I'll never, ever forget.

[@ShadowWolfofPack]

Good, I've finally found the sensible part of KZbin. Ima hang here for a while.

[@akasaltmaster]

This game was absolutely amazing, it was terrifying, challenging, gripping and just an amazing story. I hope that they make another soon and that it is just as good because I can't see how they can surpass Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

This game was my best gaming experience! I can't forget it! NEVER FORGET AMNESIA! Such a great game, such a great experience! Unforgetable...

[@guido7095]

i never looked back

[@charis5070]

This song is about redemption and hard earned victory its truly a masterpiece

[@TheShadowman60]

2:24 Hey, you took a video of me chasing Daniel through the cell's hallways? I WILL KILL YOU, oh hey an orb, *Ball squeak* Oh, it's just a child's toy.

[@Its_Luis]

This are the kind of games that you will consider art; while there are some other that are just for entertainment.

[@Seabuff]

Both origional and awesome! Amnesia is a game that will frighten you to the bone, and it will make you want to continue playing no matter how scared you get! Best First-Person Surival Puzzle Horror game ever!!

[@TyrannoWright]

When I beated the game and listened to this, it made me feel somewhat stronger toward my fears and great to defeat them. ( 0:00 - 2:20 )

[@flowershroud]

I agree with you, while I do like the scares it brings, it's all tied to the storyline. The story of Amnesia was absolutely like no other, and the scary aspect just tied it in. I feel bad for the people who ignored the story, as it would've made the game truly amazing. This soundtrack is very powerful and sad. I'm glad people other than myself appreciate these tracks composed for such an emotional game. Amen, my friend. :)

[@ZwieraczOthlani]

Love that game forever.

[@KiariTheSage]

Lots of passion has been put into Amnesia's music, too. Other scary games just want scary music to take its toll on the player. Yet, why Amnesia is such a beautiful game, despite Mr. Happy Face's beautiful face... is because of the effort put into theme music that circles itself around the actual plot line itself instead of how scary the game really is.

[@JadeIsBunny]

This track is also listed and known as " Lux Tenebas ". Which means " After darkness, light ".

[@Angietta]

@TheKovajatka Simple. Go through the game, and in the Inner Sanctum, push the pillars, so you'll get Daniel's ending.

[@Italianboy225]

This song was so perfect for the Crucible of the Night theme in the custom story Wake.

[@Aves114]

I can't wait for the sequel!

I played lot of games, that deserves really good critics. I liked them, but they were nothing to this amazing game. This game will never be forgotten...

[@CounterNerd]

I think you might've misunderstood the person. He doesn't even mention playing to win, he says play for the story and not the fear, which is exactly what the developers intended.

[@Kaneisdawicked]

@Sagdashin Absolutely, my friend. Best horror game i've ever played in my entire life.

[@NinjaMasuyo]

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." It doesn't matter if you're still scared of them, as long as you're facing your fears, you've won them.

[@Cobbledstories]

I actually hate most horror games, but I love Amnesia. I was so enveloped in the story and so invested in Daniel's character that I just had to keep playing no matter how terrified I was (and I was pretty damn terrified). I think this song perfectly sums up the atmosphere of the game, and yes, it does move me to tears.

[@Sarkynyt]

I love this music and this game. ;___; Daniel...♥

[@Grakkov]

That's just it, bro. Pigs are something that we normally view as domesticated or at least calm and not wild like other animals. When we play AAMFP we will be scared of pigs because they will not be behaving normally, and we don't know what to expect...

[@stickmanpivotguy]

I feel ya bro, Im in for total control and being the character

[@NoName57253]

thats my favorite music of the game

[@OsakaKaedechan]

"It will be alright"...

[@VasoniiMoore]

such a great game, and such awesome music

[@NoName57253]

@Runaan you can copy the .ogg files out this folder : C:\Program Files (x86)\Amnesia - The Dark Descent edist\music

[@RedMilkproductions]

@DoctorRainbow8321 agreed. i actually did know of Penumbra years before Amnesia came out, i just never had the chance to play that game.

[@OsakaKaedechan]

Daniel's a fuckin champ! :>

[@beargryls18]

amnesia the Dark Descent is by far the best game ive ever played

[@Agnusta]

Sanity is for the weak! Anyhow, I love this piece and I think the video is also really nice. Makes me want to help Daniel surviving in Brennenburg's castle... (At least there would be one lantern more.)

[@TheZeldaFan96]

the new Amnesia is an indirect sequel and takes place in the world of Amnesia

[@arialrodriguez9932]

its strange though to find out daniels life before he lost his memmory, you really have to interpret his letters and diaries and find out context clues to his life before the the conflict. All i know is that he was an archaeologist from the 19nth century who one time found a tomb containing a magical orb.. i really dont want to get into much detail but i know that the story is epic XD

[@his-darling-tavi]

God this song is so beautifully tragic

[@sudospoon]

This is fucking beautiful.

[@MrChristoffer46]

show respect for the game! :)

[@EmreYavuzalp]

however,I find myself at this game.thats why I love this game,The best game ever I ve played.

[@Hanzy302]

Sanity: ULTRA CRYSTAL SUPER DUPER CLEAR

[@OficialRayVanRev]

They should make a movie... to cry again xD

[@sudospoon]

This game was the best game I have ever played when it comes to this genre. Common, run-of-the-mill FPS shooters have NOTHING on Amnesia.

[@aranerem5569]

I love this

[@toxicapathy]

I demand to have this played as I die.

[@wublez]

It's fun to blow things up, shoot things and get your kick of violence every now and again, but games with plot are a form of art.

[@12walkietalkie13]

@everyone who thinks Frictional Games should be reconized: I think they actually won an award for Amnesia. Idk if it's true, but they SO deserve it! :D

[@Commenter89a]

Best horror game in my life.may be classical style? i dont know but it was great game for me.

[@aubre_sings]

This video looks like it could be a trailer for the game. Especially from 2:20 and onwards. And although Daniel escapes the castle for this ending, I always wonder if he would have been scarred for life. He'd be the most paranoid and jumpy person in society. XD

[@My-name-is-user-tx6ow1ss3b]

Моя любимая игра ! Хоть сюжет здесь и тривиален, особенно для ценителей Лавкрафта...

[@JadeIsBunny]

Man, you have balls. I never dared to look at the shadow. I just ran like a bitch on steroids.

[@Commenter89a]

The best horror game of ever !!!

[@Lindwur]

@reallycrazy6fan Indeed! It's much, much more...You just have to immerse yourself in it~

[@Nilwick]

this music shows achievment through hiding through that first monster- to killing a ghost. How can you kill the undead? is he undead? there were points with no hiding spots, although you made it through. You got your revenge. now time to go tell everyone the story. such a sad sad story...

[@SunTzuSaidFight]

*clicks play button* *mouth hangs open* *pauses video* *mouth closes* ...WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!

[@Jesters76]

@elizahime it was the ending when u had to Make the Tonic the full tonic if u dnt u die and i dnt think u get to hear this song=( but it is a lovely song isnt it?

[@dekingking315]

i bought the game recently but i am joking when i say i can play it truth is im scared out of my mind... but after hearing this im definatly going to man up just to hear the music and see the story unfold.

[@MrMindblow12]

really beautiful song and great game! much better than games like Dead Space no i loved Dead Space but this game is truly amazing and not only scary but also very beautiful its atmposphere,story,MUSIC! it is great! i really love this game

[@Lambda217]

@JordanMaster22 I tried to do that in-game when he said that, but the camera refused to turn all the way around :(

[@Commenter89a]

It was awsome horror game in my life

[@betafotball]

Second best game ever made if you ask me

[@MaximumUltraEditon]

Believe me, you will.

[@Niinami]

As I said numerous times, your way of fun is not the same for everyone. Get that through your head.

[@CrestfallenAbyss]

Personally I fucking hate the scares, but the immersion and story in it is beyond incredible. It's the only reason I played it. A work of art.

[@Xoshxius]

@ExTreMeL96A1 Why would he dislike it? Sure he felt bad, but Daniel's end mean he got to go home.

[@Jesters76]

best game ever made. this will remain the best game ever made imo. A machine for pigs wont be as good as this one. im still gonna play a machine for pigs. but idk this is BY far the best game i have ever played.

[@TheSynergic]

Well, the first time I played this, was just to feel the excitement of being chased and to get scared. But since the moment I met Agrippa, I started to get interested in the story(because I finally able to catch up with the story). Oh, and do you know about the super_secret.rar in your Amnesia The Dark Descent/redist folder? I think that file contains anything about this game, you should check it out! About the password, you should look it up on Google!
