- The Trade-off: To shrink the game from ~28GB to a much smaller size, they likely had to recompress textures or audio.
- Lossy Compression: Unlike official zipped files, repacks often use "lossy" compression. This means once you install the game, the quality might be slightly lower than the Steam/GOG version to save space.
- Potential Issues: Repacked versions of Amnesia games are notorious for crashing during loading screens if the compression corrupted specific map files.
