The characters are different from the ones on the first episode, and the details that Frictional Games is giving away so far about the story are the following: The game is expected to be out this Halloween, and Frictional Games has released a teaser trailer video to make our waiting and expectations more “established”…Ī Machine For Pigs is not a direct sequel to the Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but more like an alternative story set in the same universe. And as anyone who's played the original will attest, sometimes it's the things you don't see that you really need to worry about.Īmnesia: A Machine For Pigs comes out this fall.Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs is going to be the second episode of the Amnesia horror adventure series. On the other hand, it's just a few seconds out of what will ultimately be several hours of gameplay, and you can't blame the developers for wanting to drive home the fact that this is an Amnesia game. That's not necessarily a bad thing - it's horrific, yes, but that's what we're here for - but what I'm really hoping for is that the new game, with a new developer, will provide a different take on the horror experience.


In spite of that hand-off, the brief snippet of gameplay on display in this trailer looks more than a little like what we had to put up with in The Dark Descent: awful things happening off-screen, desperate cowering in a dark corner and the "woozy effect" that means you've had just about all of this nonsense that you can take. The first look at the new Amnesia game is not a pleasant one.
