Amnesia: The Bunker is unquestionably essentially the most scary horror sport I’ve performed this decade. Its terrifying story of being chased by a crumbling French bunker by a monster has the darkest, thickest, most unnerving environment of any horror sport I’ve performed since Alien: Isolation. It is so intense that it is arduous to think about anybody making one thing mild and ethereal out of its subterranean warrens, and it is downright inconceivable that somebody may, say, flip Amnesia: The Bunker into Mirror’s Edge.
And but, that is precisely what modder TiMan has carried out. Created for Frictional Video games’ 2026 modding jam—which ran with the theme of ‘What’s actuality?’—Bunker’s Edge sees the bottom sport’s protagonist Henri transported by a portal from the trenches of war-ravaged France to the pristine skyline of EA’s free-running traditional.
The change of surroundings alone is outstanding. The Bunker’s HPL engine is goal constructed to ship darkness, shadows and murk, so seeing it deal with such a vivid and vibrant atmosphere is mightily spectacular. However what’s actually attention-grabbing is how TiMan has carried out all of Mirror’s Edge’s free-running mechanics. Mantling, sliding, wall-running, pipe-climbing, runner’s imaginative and prescient, that 180-degree wall-jump that I at all times struggled to carry out within the base sport, it is all right here.

Regardless of the breezier setting, Bunker’s Edge continues to be a horror sport. The Bunker’s monster has adopted Henri by the portal, and chases him throughout the rooftops simply as relentlessly because it stalks him by the bottom sport’s subterranean fortification.
All informed, it is a snazzy little bit of modding showmanship, although there are a few factors to pay attention to. First off, Bunker’s Edge is (very understandably) not as slick as precise Mirror’s Edge. A few of Henri’s parkour strikes, like sliding, are just a little awkward, and greater than as soon as I clambered straight by a wall and located myself trapped contained in the world geometry.

The opposite factor to notice is that Bunker’s Edge could be very brief. You possibly can blast by the entire thing in about quarter-hour. The ending can be extraordinarily bizarre, not what you’d anticipate from both The Bunker or Mirror’s Edge.
Nonetheless, Bunker’s Edge is a enjoyable diversion for a Sunday afternoon. Alongside internet hosting modding jams, Frictional can be engaged on its subsequent horror sport Ontos. The sci-fi journey has extra in frequent with 2015’s Soma than The Bunker, however it’s nonetheless considered one of my most anticipated video games of 2027.
