Info | More Info & Social
Amygdala is a solo developer game.
Amygdala was not born with the idea of innovating the gaming industry or being the best horror game ever made, but was born simply to give context and show some creatures created by me connected with the basic idea of expressing different emotions.
I hope these creatures can accompany you in your deepest nightmares.
Sensitive Content and Photosensitivity Warning:
Amygdala contain strobing and flashing lights that could cause a small percentage of people to experience seizures when exposed to certain lights, patterns, or images. This game also contains intense violence, gore, graphic sexual content, and strong language.
Please enjoy this nightmares.

What if the monsters could have nightmares too? Excellent art style and story, Gameplay is average and has a couple of bugs, but other than that, Great game imo.3 found this helpful
I love the concept and the character designs are really cool. Unfortunately, ran into some game breaking bugs and couldn't progress any further with my saves. I will try again with a new save but overall, I had fun.1 found this helpful
If SCORN had been crafted for bibliophiles instead of nymphomaniacs with a pechant for body horror, I imagine it might have looked a little something like Amygdala. The influences are impossible to miss—echoes of Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth", John Carpenter's The Thing blend seamlessly with the unmistakable biomechanical and body horror night terrors of H.R. Giger and Cronenberg—but rather than feeling derivative, the game confidently weaves those inspirations into an identity of its own. What surprised me most was the production quality. The voice acting, writing, and world-building are all far stronger than I expected from such an overlooked title. Every crevice begs to be explored, every creature feels deliberately designed, and the world is rich with an eldritch atmosphere and threads intriguing lore and worldbuilding. The gameplay itself is decent (doesn't need to be more - this experience is more focused on atmosphere than gameplay), with basic exploration and puzzle mechanics, though it occasionally stumbles when it comes to communicating solutions. A bit more guidance would have gone a long way—I spent far too long stuck simply because the game expected me to us…
I loved this game—from the graphics to the story—but I kept running into soft locks or bugs. The first major issue I encountered is one that many other players have also reported. No matter how many times I retried or how far back I loaded old saves, I could not get the key to work in the gate in the “Big Head Nightmare.” I really wish this soft lock/bug would get fixed because I was thoroughly enjoying the game until that point. Dev's Don't give up! You have something really cool here, time to squash the bugs please.
No matter what settings I pick, I only get 30fps. That's playable at least I guess, but just. The rest? Meh.... I hate writing bad reviews because I'm sure the sole developer put a lot of time into this, but, there are definitely better ways to waste your time.
