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.

A Machine for Poop.

I'm sure a lot of people were excited for the next installment and the past years updates and releases looked good, but the final product is horrible. You can complete it in 2 hours 55 minutes without speed running, and that's even finding all the notes and reading them. The description is laughable. "The darkest, most horrific tale ever told in a videogame." That is the biggest flat out lie I've ever seen. The story is one of the most boring I've encountered and is as clear as five pounds of dog feces. You do nothing, you walk and walk maybe pull down a lever or turn a valve then walk and walk and walk. You do not have a choice at all to explore because 98% of every door, window, and cabinet is locked. You can't even pick up 99% of objects. The graphics are awful, the voice acting is mediocre at best and never again will Frictional Games see any money from me. How dumb are they that they thought The Chinese Room was going to make this good? There is no forgiveness and no excuse.

Amnesia: A machine for sleeping.

That's actually the game real title, buy Amnesia: Dark Descent instead.

Good enough.

The game has alot of the atmosphere of the previous title, the music was good and the story was interesting. In fact, this game is so story heavy that it barely has any gameplay. The game has very few puzzles, if you could call them that, and when you get to them the game outright tells you what to do. Also it forces you stop and read the millions of notes that get added to your journal if you want to know more of the plot which I found to be hard to follow. The monsters are also fewer and easier to flee from. PS. I read here that many are upset over the inventory system, sanity system, the lantern, and the game's length. I have to say, it's rather silly to judge how good the game is based on it not having an inventory system, it's silly to judge the game based on it's length if it's as long or a little shorter than the all of the preceeding titles they've made, it's also silly to judge the game based on you not having to search for fuel to refill your lantern.

HP Lovecraft as a Game

If you love the work of HP Lovecraft than look no further for the personification of his work in digital format. The story is told with classic Lovecraft overtones, presented in beautiful and horrifying locations. This is a game to experience, as the use of sound and music to build the mood is on par with the best horror games on the market. It is a different game than Amnesia: A Dark Decent, but it is no Dear Esther either. It is a love letter to Lovecraft and H.G Wells equally. The tension is in the unseen and the true horror lies in uncovering the story, piece by piece.
