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.

Amygdala 2.9.0 - Personal Room, General Fix & Gameplay adjustments
Hi everyone! The Virtual Photo event ends today and with that comes an update for Amygdala! Amygdala updates to a new version 2.9.0 and adds, corrects and modifies some functions {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44648406/a61d4eaaa24358d032c4176086d4747b921f94a8.jpg Amygdala 2.9.0 - Update Info To avoid compatibility problems with save games I recommend everyone start a new game. Otherwise you may encounter unwanted issues due to some non-retroactive gameplay changes. Personal Room: Inside the Amygdala there is now a personal room, with no function other than to let the Nightmare Seeker relax. Inside the Personal Room you will find the three paintings of the three screens chosen during the Virtual Photo Event. it is likely to be expanded in future updates. New Achievement: A new Achievement related to the Personal Room has been added. General Bug Fixs: Some bugs have been fixed, however it is possible there are others, don't forget to let me know via steam threads, I will try to fix them as soon as possible. Beauty Nightmare - Part II, gameplay change Some changes have been made to reduce the redundancy of searching and using keys. In the second part of the beauty nightmare, the player had to find two keys inside the cells to open two doors on the sides of the trapped heart. Now the player will have to turn off the monitors inside the cells in order to destroy the organic blocks and continue into the side rooms. Emergency switches removed: The emergency switches were buttons that were used to eliminate the final door when a bug occurred, but they confused the player. Now it seems that the bug no longer occurs (in the final door), so these buttons have been removed. Special thanks to all the participants of the Virtual Photo Event, selected, they were all beautiful screens! Three honorable mentions present within the game as painted: ZEUS - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3185971817 Warchief - https://x.com/Warchief____/status/1769768797622169698 Angela M McC...Read full article on Community Announcements (Stigma Studios)Patch NotesOfficial
Amygdala - Bug Fixing
- Fixed an issue that prevented some doors from opening correctly in Part 2 of the "Beauty" Nightmare (In the future it is possible that the gameplay of this area will be slightly modified) These small hotfixes should not compromise the saves, but it is always recommended to make new saves after the patches/hot fixes to avoid possible conflicts. Thanks to user ValenVain for reporting, if you find any other bugs, please report! Thank you!Read full article on Community Announcements (Stigma Studios)Patch NotesOfficial

Amygdala v2.8 Hotfix 1
Amygdala v2.8 Hotfix 1 In the Nightmare of Insatiable Knowledge there are several healing items, I decided to rework the fall damage General: Fall damage resistance increase from 5% to 50% General: Safe Fall Height(cm) increase from 50 to 700 These changes should make the Nightmare of Insatiable Knowledge less frustrating during falls. it is possible that this value will be adjusted again in the future. Nightmare of Insatiable Knowledge: Added a block that prevents you from immediately going to the end of the nightmare. Special mention to TheMrSark (https://www.twitch.tv/themrsark) for the official speedrun% world record for Nightmare of Insatiable Knowledge Beauty's Nightmare: Fixed an issue where the TV in the cell wouldn't turn off properly Nightmare of the Big Head: Corrected the order of symbols on the altar Nightmare of the Big Head: Altar trapdoor doors are now more visible (color changed and added a bigger glowing effect and two additional handles) Nightmare of the Big Head: Ladder collision under trap door improved Nightmare of the Big Head: Added a document that gives clues on how to find the key to room 4Read full article on Community Announcements (Stigma Studios)
