AMNESIA: A MACHINE FOR PIGS

"This world is a machine. A machine for pigs. Fit only for the slaughtering of pigs."

We're working with Frictional Games on a sequel to their hit indie horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which is generally agreed to be one of the most terrifying games ever made.

We've been working on this for a couple of months now, and are aiming for a Halloween release. The game is not a direct sequel to The Dark Descent, but takes place in the same universe, some 60 years later. Oswald Mandus, a rich Victorian industrialist has returned home from a disasterous expedition to Mexico that ended in tragedy. Gravely ill, he falls into a coma and is plagued by nightmares of a vast machine. He awakens at home with no sense of how much time has passed, only to hear, somewhere nearby, a dark engine roars into life.

We're not telling you anything else at this point, only that it will be a dark and frightening experience that stays true to the series, whilst pushing it in some new and unexpected directions...
