History VideoGame / AmnesiaRebirth

** The Provider ending: [[spoiler: Tasi flees from Tihana and activates a portal with her baby, arriving back home in Paris. However, it's unclear if her transformation into a Harvester will continue or not (her only hope is that being removed from Tihana's influence will somehow stop the process), and either way her child is likely going to die of her congenital degenerative disease after several years anyway if Tasi doesn't resort to [[ColdBloodedTorture horrific measures]] to preserve Amari's life if Tihana's warnings are honest. There's also the not inconsequential fact the two of them are just three years away from the Nazi occupation.]]

* PsychologicalHorror: Similar to the previous two iterations, [[SequelEscalation though more so]], [[InvertedTrope yet not]]. Having elements that were missing from ''A Machine for Pigs'', but with a diminished presence of pursuers, possibly being even less prevalent here than in said game.

* ResourcesManagementGameplay: After skipping ''A Machine for Pigs'', Fracture brings alongside themselves the inventory system back, though somewhat more limited in terms of how many of certain objects can be carried, such as a maximum of ten fire-matches.

* SequelEscalation:
** The first two games took place in small, confined areas within a relatively small geographical location. ''Rebirth'' takes place out in the desert, with more wide open spaces and even visiting different locations over a relatively large area. [[spoiler: The game even introduces interdimensional travel and multiple worlds relatively early on.]]
** Inverted in terms of enemy threat. There are enemy stalkers, but they're much less prevalent than in ''The Dark Descent'', and possibly even rarer than they were in ''A Machine for Pigs''.

''Amnesia: Rebirth'' is the third full installment in the ''VideoGame/{{Amnesia}}'' series of SurvivalHorror video games, developed and published by Creator/FrictionalGames for UsefulNotes/PS4 and PC released on October 20th, 2020.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Similarly to in ''The Dark Descent'', you can't harm the monsters; all that can be done about them is to run and hide, so that the tension can be preserved.

* ForbiddenLove: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] between Tasi and Salim, whose wedding photo is captioned "Love Transcends Law" on the reverse. Examining the same photo in a dream sequence set in the couple's Parisian home will prompt a flashback to Tasi declaring that their marriage is "as official as she needs it to be". Additionally, during that same sequence a letter can be found addressed to Salim from the French Interior Ministry, denying an application of his.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Very early into the story, Tasi has a flashback showing her that she is pregnant, and just a few moments later, her goal of finding Salim comes to a sudden conclusion as his body is found, leaving her to spend the rest of the story seeking her crew, in the hopes of bringing the child back to Paris.]]

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler: Possibly bordering with MercyKill. In order to progress through an area in the Other World, Tasi must acquire two Leyden jars full of Vitae, but when towards one of them, she finds it powering a member of the local civilization's life support, and once it is removed, ends perishing in the matter of a few seconds.]]

* DaylightHorror: In very stark contrast to literally every other Frictional game so far, several sections of ''Rebirth'' take place in well lit, outdoor areas, commonly directly under the sunlight. ''VideoGame/{{Penumbra}}'' took place in a dimly lit underground facility, ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' was set inside a dark castle, ''VideoGame/AmnesiaAMachineForPigs'' happened entirely at night, and ''VideoGame/{{SOMA}}'' was at the bottom of the ocean.

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: A dark example. In each ending, Tasi can have one at the cost of something. In the Harvester ending, she gives her child a chance to live, even if under Tihana as a surrogate mother, but becomes a Ghoul/Harvester in the process. In the Iconoclast ending, she destroys Tihana's Vitae production, freeing her torture victims, but making both her and her child be consumed by the Shadow in the process. And in the Provider ending, Tasi and the child return to Paris with the possibility of having a normal life together, but the child can only live so long without Vitae, and she can only hope that by cutting Tihana's influence she won't turn into a Harvester, while as well having the fact that World War II will begin and reach France in just a few years, and even in the possibility that Tasi was to use her knowledge on how to produce Vitae, she would still have to commit the same atrocities Daniel did prior to ''The Dark Descent''.]]
** [[spoiler: In order to maximize suffering and therefore vitae production, after a torture session the humans trapped in the Other World [[LaserGuidedAmnesia have their minds wiped of the torture]] and then are shown their own happiest memories - before they are plunged right back into the torture, repeating the cycle again. The Otherworlders have ''weaponized'' this trope. Let that sink in.]]

''Amnesia: Rebirth'' is the third full installment in the ''Amnesia'' series of SurvivalHorror video games, developed and published by Creator/FrictionalGames for UsefulNotes/PS4 and PC released on October 20th, 2020.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Similarly to in ''The Dark Descent'', you can't harm the monsters, all that can be done about them is to run and hide, so that the tension can be preserved.

* AmnesiacHero: Continuing the tradition of the series' Meaningful Name, Tasi cannot remember the last few days of her life, spending most of the storyline recollecting those events. [[spoiler: This is because she has been purposely infected by Empress Tihana, alongside many, if not all members of her crew, with a toxin inside the waters of her fountain, having been told by Hank to escape, and did manage to do so, now somehow finding herself back at the Cassandra, possibly through a portal, but quickly starting to lose control over the illness, and thus losing many of her own memories, only leaving a few quickly written, vague notes for herself, then taking a dose of Laudanum in an attempt to control the issue.]]
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Countless humans are trapped in a never-ending cycle of physical and psychological torture for the sake of vitae production. Since they are made to forget the torture every time it happens, they can never get used to it, making every session as if the experience was new. In many cases, this all happens in claustrophobic pods where you can see the victim writhe and hear their muffled, agonized whimpers and screams. Oh, and extensive research has gone into making sure the victims don't "burn out" too quickly; in other words, great care has been taken that the victims are kept alive for as long as possible. The Iconoclast ending shows the Shadow creeping into one such pod and killing its inhabitant as a ''kindness''.]]
* ApocalypseHow: Possibly a class 4 type in [[spoiler: the Other World, caused by rebel alchemists who attempted to cut Empress Tihana's vitae production, through the injection of a mysterious red flesh in it. In the end they only managed to cut one of her four lines, and broke the Great Gate, allowing the Shadow to destroy their world and almost all of its inhabitants, either killing them or turning them into Wraiths, with only a few left, including the empress, that have survived the event.]]

* CowerPower: Justified, since the encountered monsters have overwhelming attributes that can make quick work of Tasi. As is tradition in the ''Amnesia'' franchise, its a literal case, with the only way to survive a monster being to find a dark corner, curl up with your nose to the wall, and pray it leaves before it stumbles over you, or simply hope that you can successfully run away and/or find a door to block it.

* DemotedToExtra: In contrast to the previous installments, the Lantern plays a significantly diminished roll. It burns through oil significantly faster (placing a greater emphasis on using matchsticks to make as many permanent sources of light as possible) and is found much later into the game as its counterparts in the previous titles were. [[spoiler: It is also ultimately lost at the Lower Factory, forcing you to make due for the rest of the game with matches alone.]]

* FragileSpeedster: The Ghouls are shown to be much stronger than humans and capable of moving almost too fast for the eye to track (though never when they're actually chasing you in gameplay, however), even slithering quickly across vertical surfaces like a lizard. However, they are seemingly not ImmuneToBullets, and also appear much less structurally intact compared to humans (which makes sense given their desiccated appearance), as Tasi inadvertently ends up pulling one's arm off when it tries to grab her through a grate.

* GratuitousGerman: [[spoiler: In one of Eva Ritter's final messages, left right above her husband's grave, there is a poem, with all words in it having been written in german.]]

* PoisonAndCureGambit: [[spoiler: Empress Tihana does this to Tasi's expedition in an attempt of making them more controllable, telling them that the water on her fountain would cure them of any injuries, only for them to figure out that although that was true, it was because they were inflicted by a mysterious toxin, which would eventually turn them into Harvesters, being that the only "cure" lied with the Empress, who will only hear their wishes if Tasi gives up her child.]]

* TheSecretOfLongPorkPies: [[spoiler: It is no surprise that Tasi eventually figures what Vitae is made out of, but what is, is the fact that she has to engage in the torturing of a person herself.]]

* MeaningfulName: Continuing the franchise's tradition, [[TheProtagonist Tasi]] can't remember any of the events that occurred in the last few days, but possibly [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the "Rebirth" part, as the game doesn't leave its meaning explicit, with some fan interpretations saying it talks about [[spoiler: the mutations of Tasi and her crew into Harvesters, others believe it talks about how Amari is essentially Alys being "reborn" in Tasi's perspective,]] and the theories just continue to vary from there.

* TheArtifact: The Traveler's Locket, which Tasi uses to create portals between the Other World and back through specific "weak points". [[spoiler: She also acquires an Orb later in the story, hoping to use it as a way to find and reach the rest of her crew, but loses it to the Shadow before it could happen.]]

* ControllableHelplessness: When Tasi [[spoiler: steps into a bear trap and is hung upside down from it, she's saved by Yasmin. Unfortunately, she's about to turn into a Harvester, and buys Tasi some time by stepping into the bear trap herself and shoving Tasi out the door, which Tasi closes.]] Cue a mad dash in the opposite direction as they free themselves and begin to pound on the door before busting it open and chasing you down. No matter how far you get, you ''will'' be caught. [[spoiler: Thankfully, the doctor is nearby with a revolver.]]
