Description
The Swine are Rising!
In 2010 Frictional Games terrified the world with the cult horror Amnesia: A Dark Descent. Now they bring you a new nightmare. Created in collaboration with The Chinese Room, the studio behind Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is an intense and terrifying journey into the heart of darkness that lurks within us all.

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.

Step back into the horror
Like The Dark Descent, this is a game driven by its story, exploration of the world and the constant fear of the unknown. You can expect classic Amnesia gameplay, physics interaction and the signature blend of high-end gaming with low system requirements.

Think you understand fear? Think again.
A Machine for Pigs takes both the world of Amnesia and the technology of The Dark Descent to new heights of horror. Built using an updated version of HPL2 engine, the game features stunning visual and environment design, incredible music and audio effects and adapted artificial intelligence. These are all driven by a gut-wrenching, blood-curdling new story, set sixty years after the events of the original game.
  • Unique game created in collaboration between two independent game companies famous for exploring the outer reaches of what games can be. Fresh and new approach to the Amnesia world while staying true to its origins.
  • Unique physics interaction that has been developed and improved since 2005.
  • Exceptional artwork and environments that run on low system specifications.
  • The darkest, most horrific tale ever told in a videogame. Stunning soundtrack by award-winning composer Jessica Curry.

So bad

They made this it's not that good as a horror game. Music is nice, puzzles are ok, the monster 3/10 and annoying too

Hoping to get real amnesia...

I got to say, i was not a fan of the whole walking-simulator genre, and i'm totally not a horror kinda guy, but Amnesia: The Dark Descent was a great game! It made me like the genre and was fun and challenging with the sanity system and all that... A Machine for Pigs, sadly has nothing left from the first one, except maybe some assets and that it's a walking simulator... The story was boring and bland, and the overall gameplay is boring... you walk around, reaaaally slowly, and retrace your steps some times, slowly... but as you delve deeper into the game, there's no actual challenge, the puzzles are way simpler and the enemies area almost not present, and when they are are easily circumvented... there's never that gnawing feeling of the shadow from A:DD All in all, it's a boring game, that makes me want to have amnesia and forget about it...

Much better than Amnesia 1

I was very disappointed by Amnesia 1 at the time. It failed to scare me, and besides the alleged scariness the game had absolutely nothing else that made it worth playing. So I am very happy that Amnesia 2 is very different. The Good: - Meaningful, moving story. - Sometimes truly scary (as opposed to part 1, which never really scared me). - Much more interesting world: the fascinating underground machine works a lot better than the super-generic castle in part 1. - EXCELLENT soundtrack. - Annoying and pointless sanity meter from part 1 removed. - Great and satisfying revelation at the end. - Exactly the right length. The bad: - Technically not very good engine. - The scene in the streets of London is kind of superfluous and does not really fit the rest of the game. - The writing would have profited from a little more polishing. - The gameplay is as dumb as in part 1 ("find the place where the game wants you to click next, and then click"). The bottom line: Does the game have something so unique that you should play it? For A1 the answer was a clear no. For A2 it is a clear yes. Is anything about the game so bad that it would make it difficult to enjoy that unique thing from the previous question? For A1 the answer is a clear yes (bad level design; story that's so nonsensical that it feels like it comes from a random generator). For A2 the answer is a clear no. Ergo: Play A2 and avoid A1.

Unfulfilling

Though it had a good story, just as dark and twisted as the fist, it lacked gameplay. You pretty much just walked down a very obvious path and solved the extremely simple puzzles. Monsters did not feel threatening at all. This would have been a killer addition if they could recapture the magic that made Dark Descent so great.
