He also receives mysterious telephone calls, which at first are cryptic, but then tell him that his children are trapped in the bowels of the machine, and to rescue them he must repair it. During his search, the house shakes, and Mandus hears a machine roar into life beneath his feet. Mandus wanders out of his bedroom to find his children. Little does he know that months have passed, and upon awakening, he hears his children calling for him to find them. Hit by fever, Mandus has frequent dreams about a dark machine until he regains consciousness. Set in 1899 on New Year's Eve (60 years after The Dark Descent), the game follows Oswald Mandus, a wealthy industrialist, who has recently returned from a "disastrous" expedition to Mexico, where tragedy struck. Light still attracts enemies, causing players to resort to strategy and stealth in many areas. However, like the previous game, players are still able to collect and read notes, use a journal as objective reminders, use dark areas to more easily hide from enemies, and move physical objects around. Unlike The Dark Descent, players no longer have sanity (therefore unaffected by levels of light and witnessing disturbing events), an inventory system, the ability to collect and combine items, nor a way to monitor health. The monster AI and gameplay mechanics in this game differ from that of The Dark Descent.

There are a few jump scares but the game, like others in its class, depends more on the atmosphere, music and pacing. It uses the same engine as The Dark Descent. The Amnesia: Collection release for PS4 brought Trophies to the game, which was later added to the PC release as Achievements, which also made it onto the Xbox One version when it was released.Īmnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a survival horror game involving stealth elements and psychological scares.

The game was released for PlayStation 4 on November 22, 2016, as part of the Amnesia: Collection, which also includes Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its expansion Amnesia: Justine. The game is an "indirect sequel" to The Dark Descent set in the same universe, but featuring different characters at a later period in time. It was delayed further due to the increase in game size from "experimental game" to "a full-fledged Amnesia game". Shipping was at first speculated to be early 2013 but was pushed to a later date due to both the "overwhelming response" and Frictional Games' desire to meet the expectations of the public.
