I'm sorry for being stupid, but i need to ask.. Before i do, i just wanna say that i did finish AAMFP, twice, trying to read every note.. But i still don't get it!

Spoiler below!

Oswald Mandus returns from a disasterous expedition in Mexico, and wakes up in fever.. What did he discover there, as he says "Yes.. I seem to have picked up something rather nasty in Mexico" Must have missed something..

He is the one who created the machine? Is it the machine that talks the entire gameplay, even calls you along the gameplay?

Also, he slaughters humans, who then turns in to pigs? On Steam is says that the game contain one of the darkest, most horrific storys ever told in a game.. ?


Yet again, extremly sorry for my questions, feel so stupid, almost didn't want to post this, but i wanted to know so bad!

Although he, indeed, literally picked up something in Mexico, this response was rather another way of saying: "I got sick".

Yes, he had created the machine. About, whether it is the machine speaking or not, it's still an unknown.

At first he slaughtered only pigs, then humans, only later he'd discovered that re-shaping humans and pigs into one being is possible, so he used some of the "products" for this conversion.

There's a whole spectrum of things that could've been talking to Mandus during the game: the machine itself, the enginner, his own self (due to a mental disorder or a supernatural affection, or even both) as a separate, autonomous being or just as "yet another voice in his head" Smile.

Mandus had killed his children "to spare them from the upcoming terrors of the world" - when and where? That's what a lot of us is wondering about.

I believe it was the machine talking. Not sure who through though, whoever was in the coffin at the end. Possibly the professor.

As for the children, they were sacrificed by Mandus ripping their hearts out so that they would avoid the horrors of the "coming century." The antagonist, in his final monologue, says something about seeing them dead along a particular river. I believe he's saying they'll die in WWI/WWII, and to avoid their fate, Mandus killed them himself to protect them.
