Frictional Games Tease a New Project

Amnesia developer Friction game teases their new project through an enigmatic placeholder website.

Frictional Games is best known for their specific style of survival horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent and for publishing its sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

The website, NextFrictionalGame.com, offers very little information. There is a system error message that reads "Booting system after unexpected shutdown," and is followed by a progress bar that's achieved 40%. The bottom right corner has some distorted text that looks like it says "cogito ergo sum." Which is Latin for "I think, therefore I am," a famous quote from philosopher René Descartes.

For now it is not clear what makes the progress bar continue loading, wheather from visitor hits or just by itself. Thomas Grip the creative director of Frictional Games teased "First breadcrumb is deployed. Now it is just a matter of waiting..." on his Twitter.
