Felix Kjellberg found his momentum as Pew Di Pie on Youtube back in 2010 with his appreciation for horror games, mainly Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Returning to that momentum, he recently posted a video with the caption, “It’s Been Ten Years,” and this time, he revisits and shows a playthrough of Amnesia: Rebirth instead.
To many of his early fans, this is a huge throwback to his glory days when he used to spend countless hours horrifyingly screaming at his screen. ” Here we are 10 years later,” addresses Pew Di Pie to his currently over 100 million followers. He further recalls how he previously played this series at 3:00 am in the pitch dark at his apartment in Sweden. He continues that he even had “insomnia,” and it was a surreal experience despite all that.
Developed by Frictional Games in 2020, Amnesia: Rebirth is their latest release in the franchise. The horror game is known for profound storytelling and focuses on being confined by perspective, striving to survive. Released on 20th October, the game player takes the role of a french woman Tasi Trianon at a mining expedition in Algeria who experiences supernatural events. Pew Di Pie shares how it is very “exciting” to be back playing the series and further explore in the next part.
