| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) | comment |
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is the second entry in the Amnesia series, developed by The Chinese Room (best known for Dear Esther) and published by Frictional Games (also known for the Penumbra series) on September 10, 2013. It is an indirect sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, originally started as a small mod before both companies saw potential that would be fulfilled with a larger game.Taking place in the same universe as The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs is set sixty years later, in Victorian London, on New Years Eve, 1899. Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus has just awoken from a fevered comatose state that lasted him several months, haunted by nightmares of a vicious, dark, elaborate machine of mysterious purpose. And much more to his worry, as he stumbles around his estate, he finds that it appears to be completely empty, as his young sons Edwin and Enoch are strangely absent. Mandus must trace his life back to find out what happened during his months of unconsciousness, discover the whereabouts of his missing sons, and figure out what happened during his ill-fated trip to Mexico that immediately preceded it...But mostly, he finds nothing...Nothing but the twisted monstrosities that stalk the halls, and the cogs and gears of the great machine that whirs to life beneath him.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet. | |

| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_105d50b1 | comment |
Psychological Torment Zone: Mandus occasionally finds areas covered with children's wooden building blocks and teddy bears. Time often slows down here, and Mandus laments for what might have happened to his children. | |

Applied Phlebotinum | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_116a941b | comment |
Applied Phlebotinum: The mysterious Compound X that powers the Machine and allows humans and pigs to be spliced together without killing them. It appears to have supernatural effects, up and including unhinging the subjects from reality, making them flicker back and forth from existence. Considering that the Machine and the manpigs were derived from studying what was left of Castle Brennenburg, and that the Machine draws its power from processing human bodies, its heavily implied that Compound X is related to vitae. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: A Machine for Pigs drops the lighter gothic horror of Dark Descent for Industrialized Evil and even more grotesque Body Horror. Similarly, the abstract Cosmic Horror story of Dark Descent is replaced with a more personal and tragic tale of a father's love for his children causing him to do horrific things. The enemy hunting you goes from shadows and mutilated undead humans to even more twisted manpig monsters that are still human. Daniel tortured dozens or possibly hundreds of strangers to death out of selfishness. Mandus mutilated and lobotomised thousands to "save them" from their own humanity. And murdered his own children to spare them a more horrific death. The villain is not some alien abomination from another realm but a piece of Mandus' damaged soul given life. | |

Title Drop: The game's subtitle comes up in one of Mandus' journals, and is a running phrase through the entire story. The Engineer drops this line in-game during a bit of Evil Gloating, after tricking Mandus into releasing the manpigs to slaughter the people of London. | |

Mission-Pack Sequel | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_1a2dc1fd | comment |
Mission-Pack Sequel: Averted. Was intended to be a small Gaiden Game with some experimental gameplay set in the Amnesia universe. However, as the writing for the project grew, the developers realized that the game had to grow along with it. The result is something closer in breadth of scope to the original game. | |

Eat the Rich: Mandus eventually gets sick of his fellow social class and invites them to lavish parties, getting them full of food and massively drunk - then using traps in their bedrooms to feed the sods into the Machine, harvesting their vitae and butchering them up for product. | |

Crapsack World: Victorian London wasn't a happy place, but it's actually a vision of the 20th century that affects Oswald so deeply it makes him construct a vast, demonic Machine beneath the ground with intention of slaughtering the entire human race like pigs. | |

Paint the Town Red | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_2259967 | comment |
Paint the Town Red: After the manpigs go on their rampage through London's streets, Mandus must venture back down into the machine, passing the "Tripery" on the way. This is the place where all the blood runoff from bleeding out the "products" being processed gets run through. He passes pipes gushing with outflows of blood, through channels of rushing blood, and finally wading through what amounts to a small lake's worth of blood to exit. All this goes to show just how many people have been "processed" in the last few minutes. | |

Blood Magic: Used to bring a new god into being who would save humanity from itself. But to do this requires vast quantities of blood sacrifices, thus the Machine was built to facilitate mass-production of such sacrifices. | |

It Will Never Catch On | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: One diary note discusses Mandus' mocking Charles Babbage for predicting a "machine that can think like a man." Doubly ironic, as Mandus later creates the Machine, which - thanks to a shard of his own soul - possesses all of his intellect and insanity. | |

Resources Management Gameplay: Averted, unlike the original game, as there is no inventory, no tinderboxes, no oil limits on your lantern this time around. The developers have said that as a Survival Horror game, they are easing up a bit on the "survival" elements to shift more of their creative attention to the "horror" elements. | |

Psychological Horror | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_4e3e577a | comment |
Psychological Horror: Like the first game, but more so. The survival elements are downplayed this time around, while the psychological elements are played up. This was in part to play to The Chinese Room's strengths telling interactive narratives, and in part because they wanted to distinguish it from the original game, saying that making the gameplay too familiar would just make the player more comfortable and undercut the horror. | |

Kill the Poor: Mandus and the Engineer murdered thousands of the destitute to grow the Engineer's power, seeing it as a better alternative to dying at the hands of shrapnel and mustard gas in the coming decades. Particular groups Mandus abducted to further his dark research are the homeless, disposable sex workers and innocent orphans. Eventually, however, he comes to do the same to the rich. | |

Problem is, the Victorians were more careful with their calendar than our generation, and celebrated the turn of the 20th century when it actually happened, at midnight on January 1, 1901. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: A note in the very beginning of the game reveals Jack the Ripper had two children that he appeared to care about. After Jack is turned into a manpig/experimented upon by Mandus, Oswald had to keep them locked in a room with reinforced windows to stop them from taking revenge and/or telling the police about what he had done to their father. Given what is later found in the manpig nest, it's likely that a far worse fate befell them than mere imprisonment. | |

Uncanny Valley | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_6b5a92dc | comment |
Uncanny Valley: The manpigs invoke this trope, not so much by their appearance, but by the way they move. When you see one for the first time, its stooped, three-legged gait makes it hard to tell if it's an animal that has been turned monstrous or a person that has been turned animalistic. It's a minor Wham Moment when you see one standing up for the first time, revealing that they are indeed fully humanoid. | |

Meaningful Name: Oswald Mandus is a play on Ozymandias, referencing his obsession with making his factory the "great work of the industrial age". His 'slaughtering people to save them from war' mentality also reflects on a specific other wealthy industrialist associated with the same name. | |

Victorian London | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_936b8c22 | comment |
Victorian London: The setting for the game is New Years Eve in London, 1899. While London has always been important to the main character of all previous Frictional Games, this is the first one to feature it as a setting. Unlike the Closed Circle of Castle Brennenburg in the first game, this location will have the player venture outside of a single building and explore the fog-shrouded streets, implying a somewhat wider circle. | |

Eldritch Location: It seems impossible that something as massive and bizarre as the depths of the Machine could be built under London by any normal means. Mandus even speculates that he is the first human ever to walk in those halls, even though the Machine is his own creation. Near the end of the game, it becomes difficult to tell which parts of the factory are real and which parts are the product of Mandus' unraveling mind. | |

No Canon for the Wicked | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_a2326b6a | comment |
No Canon for the Wicked: Several notes imply that either Alexander or Daniel was Oswald's great-uncle, and that he based his work on their experiments and the Servant bodies found in the castle. Given that Alexander wasn't human or had a sister, it certainly rules him out, leaving Daniel as the uncle, as he is British, like Mandus, and has a sister. Since Daniel's sister Hazel only survives and lives past fifteen in the case that Daniel takes Agrippa's head, and in the only other ending where Daniel lives the castle of Brennenburg is destroyed by the Shadow, it's heavily implied that the Good Ending to The Dark Descent is canon. | |

Avoiding the Great War: Played with. The Machine was built by Mandus, and is revealed to be his attempt to stop future wars from taking place after he had a prophetic vision of the horrors of the World Wars, including his children dying in the trenches. The machine ends up inheriting a piece of Mandus' soul, achieving sentience and carrying out horrific acts of its own in an attempt to fulfil its purpose, and Mandus ultimately decides to sacrifice himself in order to sabotage it, even though it means allowing the Wars to happen in the near future. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_c03fec8b | comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: If you enter a section of the machine after the attack on London before neutralizing the manpig in there, you are treated to a short cutscene of said manpig killing you before you can react. Justified since you have to complete a puzzle in there and you can't run back to where you came from, so the game just shoves you back to the previous checkpoint. | |

Industrialized Evil | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_c1fffb62 | comment |
Industrialized Evil: A major motif. A large part of the game takes place in a uncomfortably cramped, blood-stained meat factory. Experiments of combining animals or humans with machines are discussed. Mandus was driven insane by visions of the evils brought about by the industrialization of tyranny and war in the 20th century. The Machine was designed to manufacture vitae - an arcane substance derived from human pain and suffering - on an industrial scale. | |

Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Unlike the more subtle Dark Descent and Justine, which chooses their surreal-horror settings in more remote locals, Machine for Pigs ups-the-stakes to an almost absurd degree by having it based in London of all places, yet Mandus' factory and sinister plot therein is never uncovered until an Apocalypse How happens. | |

Human Sacrifice | |

Human Sacrifice: Mandus, pre-amnesia, thought that the Aztecs' beliefs in human sacrifice having the power to prevent their civilization's own destruction were not wrong, they simply couldn't do so on the scale required. However, modern industrialization gives other methods to achieve those same ends with much greater efficiency. | |

Blackout Basement: In some areas the lights will flicker and go out, leaving Mandus to navigate only by his own lantern. This actually has an in story explanation. The Wretches' bodies contain the mystical Compound X that reacts to light in strange ways. On its own it simply becomes incredibly corrosive, but inside living bodies it produces stranger effects, apparently including electrical disturbances. | |

Shout-Out: Early on in the game there's a room full of hunting trophies and you can find a spider that looks suspiciously like the ones from Penumbra in a display case. It's also sort of an in-joke or Call-Back because Amnesia is Penumbra's Spiritual Successor and Dark Descent was developed by the same team even though A Machine for Pigs wasn't. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Much like the first game, in the first hour you don't come into full physical contact with the monsters at all, and instead you hear and see them as they stalk you and begin to get closer and closer to you. Type III is used majorly throughout all of the outdoors segments. You're all alone on the deserted streets of the London, with less that one tenth of it's population today, and even though you can't see them, you know the manpigs are watching, but instead of attacking, they just watch your every move. | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child | |
| Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (Video Game) / int_e794cb54 | comment |
Powered by a Forsaken Child: The Machine is powered by Compound X, which is heavily implied to be vitae, a supernatural substance derived from human pain and suffering. To keep up with its copious energy demands, the Machine was designed to manufacture Compound X on an industrial scale, which is why the Machine unleashes the manpigs on London towards the climax, to collect as many living people as possible to be tortured to death and drained of vitae. Children have proven indispensable for maintenance work in the pipe system. Mandus regularly sends down orphaned children into the steam pipes to clean them up. They often get scalded to death in the process. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Mandus begins the game with no knowledge of the last few months, and immediately sets out trying to find his children, worried about what might have happened to them. The revelation of what truly happened to his children, and the reason why he killed them, also plays into this: he sacrificed them to to spare them from a more horrifying death in World War I. | |

The Secret of Long Pork Pies: As Mandus' diary entries first hint at and then ultimately confirm, the Machine is processing human flesh which Mandus is then distributing as pork. It's unclear if all the meat he produced was human, or if he was offering a mixture of human flesh and real pork. Several late-game diary notes reveal that Mandus took a particular cruel delight in first feeding human meat to oblivious wealthy individuals at parties held at his estate, and then abducting as many of those people as he could without generating panic to feed them to the next party's guests. | |
