**Summary:**

The original Amnesia is $3.99 on US Steam, with an imminent November 2 deadline. This is a full-game purchase, not a trial or subscription offer.

**Amnesia: The Dark Descent is $3.99 on the US Steam store, down 80% from $19.99.** This is a paid purchase of the full original game, not a free weekend, subscription benefit or demo.

**The offer ends November 2, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (17:00 UTC / 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time).** Steam’s official countdown supplied that deadline. Price checked November 2 at approximately 10:26 a.m. CST; confirm the amount at checkout before buying.

## What the $3.99 purchase gets you

Use the standalone [Amnesia: The Dark Descent listing on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/57300/Amnesia_The_Dark_Descent/?cc=us). A Steam account is required, and the purchase belongs to your Steam library. This price is for the original game, not the separate Amnesia Re-collection bundle or a console edition. US pricing can differ from other regions, and applicable tax may be added.

## Horror built around vulnerability

In Frictional Games’ first-person horror game, Daniel awakens in a castle with his memory badly fractured. Exploring the building means piecing together his past while trying to survive what inhabits it. The developer describes hiding, running and ingenuity—not fighting back—as your means of defense.

That makes this a different proposition from a discounted action game with a horror setting. If you want a power fantasy or a relaxed evening, the low price should not be the deciding factor. If the appeal is feeling vulnerable while uncovering a story, the premise is a better match. This is a buying guide based on the official listing, not a new hands-on review.

At verification, Steam’s English-language review summary was **Overwhelmingly Positive**, with 95% positive out of 12,968 reviews. That is an aggregate of user opinions, not a guarantee that its scares will suit everyone.

## Check compatibility and content first

The store warns of strong horror themes, gore, violence, non-sexual nudity and strong language. Also read the current platform requirements carefully: an older game’s low specifications do not guarantee compatibility with a modern computer, particularly on macOS.

[Check the current US Steam offer](https://store.steampowered.com/app/57300/Amnesia_The_Dark_Descent/?cc=us) before the deadline. If the discount has ended, do not assume the $3.99 price still applies.
