About Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
✦ AI summary
Descend into the depths of an industrial nightmare as Oswald Mandus, a fever-stricken industrialist desperate to save his children from a monstrous machine lurking beneath his estate. From the creators of Amnesia comes a haunting first-person horror experience that plunges you into themes of greed, madness, and guilt with a dark, nightmarish atmosphere unlike anything told in gaming before.
This world is a Machine. A Machine for Pigs. Fit only for the slaughtering of Pigs.
From the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dear Esther comes a new first-person horrorgame that will drag you to the depths of greed, power and madness. It will bury its snout into your ribs and it will eat your heart.
The year is 1899
Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus awakes in his bed, wracked with fever and haunted by dreams of a dark and hellish engine. Tortured by visions of a disastrous expedition to Mexico, broken on the failing dreams of an industrial utopia, wracked with guilt and tropical disease, he wakes into a nightmare. The house is silent, the ground beneath him shaking at the will of some infernal machine: all he knows is that his children are in grave peril, and it is up to him to save them.

Amnesia a machine for pigs is a ok game is it better than Dark descent........no Positives Really good level designs and atmosphere The Sound design was great Pig monsters are well designed and the story is decent..........and sadly thats where the positives end While i did say the pig monsters look cool they are barely even used other than the few times you are chased by them which i am pretty sure i could count the amount of times i was chased by them or had to hide from them on one hand which is just very disappointing and a majority of the time the pigs are just used as a visual or audio scare and then they leave. Sanity and Health GONE. (you regenerate your health no more laudanam) Inventory GONE. The ability to grab and throw alot of miscellaneous items BUTCHERED (you can only pick up a handful of items) Also for some reason this game crashed alot for me especially when i was trying to leave londons streets. Ultimatly im just mixed id say if you want to play this game wait for a sale as its a pretty short game
Incredible atmosphere and good story
"An intellectual, creative writer meets a world-class, classically trained musician, resulting in another timeless and unforgettable storytelling masterpiece from The Chinese Room." 9.3/10 TD A Machine For Pigs is a masterfully written intellectual story brimming with deep and highly creative metaphorical literature, accompanied by a hauntingly dark yet beautifully crafted soundtrack which breathes life into all elements of the project, creating an atmospheric experience like no other. It's not the Amnesia follow-up fans expected, but it leaves its mark deep in the franchise emblem for different reasons from its counterparts. Where the original game shows its weaknesses, A Machine for Pigs shows its strengths; where the original game shows its strengths, A Machine for Pigs shows its weaknesses. Accept the divisiveness this project injected into the franchise's library, or pick your poison.
É um ótimo jogo de terror, mas não se compara ao Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
This game has a fantastic little anti-capitalist and anti-establishment story focusing on only a few characters which does definitely help the story. The texts, voice recordings and dialogues are so well written, that the gameplay not requiring the player to find oil or matches is not an issue at all. You still have to sneak around enemies and solve puzzles. The steam version here can crash sometimes after the fist half, which should be addressed. Have fun!
the game play isnt very intriguing but the story and characters are amazing, very well made story and concept, very much enjoy this game
