Amnesia: The Dark Descent Sells 400K

Castrum - Good to see indie developers getting rewarded for making quality games these days:

We're still not sure what drives players to submit themselves to the psychological assault of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Whatever it is, it seems to affect quite a few gamers, as Frictional Games' Thomas Grip revealed at GDC Europe that the survival horror title has sold 400,000 copies.

It's a significantly higher number than last January, when Frictional reported sales were nearing 200,000, which already handily surpassed the company's "dream estimates" of 100,000 copies. In short, that's a lot of dudes screaming like little babies.

I'm not much of a Horror gamer (active imagination and all that), but I've been pestering MjolnirX to play this game for a while now.
