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.

Kojima predicted this and Kojima predicted that, nobody talks about how The Chinese Room predicted people stealing bunch of children and eating them and using them as sacrifice. 10/10.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pig was…fine. Not terrible, not amazing, just kind of standing in the corner breathing heavily like it wants to scare me but forgot its lines. The game has a good setup and a really strong

Unfortunately quite a big step backwards compared to its predecessor. The missing survival mechanics such as managing light and sanity as well as the generally weaker presentation make it impossible for the game to

A little shorter than the other games. Does not have the same survival aspect as The Dark Descent or Rebirth. A lot more linear than Rebirth. Still really fun to play. 8/10

A true underrated gem, whilst it doesn't reach the highs of The Dark Descent, it still is a great game in its own right. The story is actually really good, it has the dark story you expect from the Amnesia games along

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is generally considered the black sheep of the Amnesia series. I had played a couple hours of the game my self a long, long time ago and quit. I have watched several videos, bashing the game
