The super creepy 'Justine' expansion is now available on all versions of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Originally released as part of Valve's Potato Sack promotion -- and thus only available via Steam -- 'Justine' takes players through several chambers designed to test their mental fortitude. The catch is that failing a test results in someone's grisly death.
The expansion is available via update 1.2, which can be downloaded via the update page on the Frictional Games website. As an added bonus, the update also includes a collection of five short stories written by Amnesia's main writer and illustrated by its concept artist.
Finally, Frictional has released the soundtrack to Amnesia. Those who pre-ordered or purchased Amnesia directly from Frictional can download the soundtrack for free. For everyone else, it's available for purchase from the Frictional store. We're not sure why you would want to listen to Amnesia's psyche-rending soundtrack outside of the game -- perhaps some people just like being on edge all the time.

Weird, every time I put on one of my Amnesia shirts, news for it comes up. These things are magic.

Justine is freaking hard... like too hard to be fun. There are only three monsters in this campaign, but one mistake will close the game. There are no checkpoints.
Typically in Amnesia, especially in the second half, you'll trigger a monster and not exactly be sure where it is coming from. Sometimes you may run right into its arms. This happens here, and you are punished for it big time. I can't see how completing the area with the last monster is possible (especially if you complete the side quest during it) without being told or watching someone else do it before hand. You have to run from place to place in a very direct pattern with zero guidance.
The full game is one of the best of 2010, though. If you own a desktop and a pair of headphones, it's a must.

@MLS Pretty much all the Potato Sack updates for each game were exceptionally challenging.

Perhaps you should update your computer. The game doesn't even take much to even run -.-
