Here Piggy pig pig: Amnesia A Machine for Pigs, Review


He makes you forget, so you can remember everything all over again. With vivid detail and terrorizing imagery we can only hope that death is a blissful escape from the reality that has consumed us, that has taken us, that has turned us into our nightmare.

in this mind tingling continuation from amnesia the dark descent we are introduced to a new concept in this chapter where this is an indirect sequel from the previous game and delves into this new perspective with a terrifying and slightly comedic plot twist that will make even the strongest of souls giggle. The plot of this game takes a slight twist from the first in that we see a more manic and urgent side of the developer’s tone shine in a sense that both games have corrupt men, with corrupt purposes that need to be looked at psychologically. Even though this game has a completely new setting it still has that “Amnesia feel” it has the unpredictable jump-scares, a spooky mood and very in-depth notes paired with unbelievably good voice acting!

in this game it wasn’t too incredibly long, so I am very surprised that it packs a good story with an ending that I did not expect. The ending did not satiate my pallet as far as completing a storyline goes. It felt undone, and lit felt ike the developers were going to create another game, but sadly there was not third DLC or second game to combat the many questions in my head. Some of the plotlines take place in the past, some in the present. The games protagonist Oswald Mandus, who’s is implied to be the great grandnephew of Daniel wakes from the fever he contracted when he went to Mexico on an exploration. In this game his sons Edwin and Enoch have been captured and Mandus have to retrieve them from the “Machine” which is directly under his house. After the machine is turned on it betrays Mandus and unleashes the “Manpigs” out to the streets on London to collect victims to feed the machine. Ultimately through many puzzles and talking to the engineer, Mandus gains his memories back and realizes that he sacrificed his sons to the machine in hopes it would save the world, but alas it did not. After realizing what he has done he then sacrifices himself in the machine, so it self-destructs and makes everything “whole” again. But the world will ever be normal. Will the pigs reign supreme? Will an evil world be the new normal? so, would I recommend this game? I would! It is every entertaining, slightly creepy and somewhat funny. Depending on what notes you read and if you find things just as perverted as I do.
