Frictional Games isn't really located in Helsingborg, two of us live here and the company is registered here, other than that it is very much a virtual company. Currently we are five people working full-time, all from our own homes, with the Internet as our "office". In addition we hire contractors to help out with specific tasks during production, such as audio, writing and graphics.
Our own game engine goes under the name HPL and uses industry standard technologies such as OpenGL, OpenAL and Newton Game Dynamics. The engine is currently undergoing an extensive update and the new version is cleverly named HPL2. HPL2 is being used in our upcoming game, Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent = The most compelling video game of 2010!
You guys...you frighten me. You make believe your worlds exist, that somewhere, Penumbra really happened, and that Amnesia is based off real world events in the 1800's.
You know what would drop everyones pants next? Create a game...outside...daylight...and somehow capture the fear you have in Amnesia. Not an easy task, not even sure if it's possible...but if you did, you'd claim the undisputed title of Masters of Fear in the gaming world.
I can just imagine a photo-realistic forest, gray, in the fall, so there are no leaves on the trees, and you can just see the shifting objects between the trees, the wind blowing, rustling leaves on the ground...
