Description

This world is a Machine. A Machine for Pigs. Fit only for the slaughtering of Pigs.

The minds behind Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dear Esther have crafted a chilling new first-person horror experience that plunges you into the darkest depths of greed, corruption, and shattered sanity. It will press its snout between your ribs and devour what lies within.

The year is 1899

Oswald Mandus, a prosperous industrial magnate, jolts awake in his bed — consumed by fever and tormented by visions of a sinister, thunderous engine born from shadow. Haunted by memories of a catastrophic journey through Mexico and the crumbling remnants of his utopian industrial ambitions, he surfaces from unconsciousness burdened by guilt and ravaged by tropical illness, only to find himself thrust into waking horror. The estate lies eerily still, while the very earth trembles beneath him at the mercy of some diabolical contraption. One terrible truth cuts through the chaos: his children are in desperate danger, and he alone must find a way to reach them.

Unique Selling Points

  • A bold and reimagined take on the Amnesia universe that remains faithful to everything that made the original unforgettable.
  • The most profoundly disturbing and harrowing narrative ever woven into the fabric of a video game.
  • A breathtaking musical score composed by the celebrated and award-winning Jessica Curry.

Is it possible to be underrated, and yet also appropriately rated? I bought this game when it came in 2013 and beat it in a day. I've struggled with my feelings about it over the years through several playthroughs.

Not my favorite but it's definitely overhated. It being more of a walking sim felt odd coming from TDD and Penumbra, but it does it pretty well once you get used to it imo. Story is probably the best in the series. Very

Overwrought, tedious. More of a walking simulator with horror than a survival horror game. Only get this on a deep, deep discount if you absolutely must. There was potential but unfortunately it didn't reach what it set
