Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[MyRedNeptune]

A hidden link was found by Paddy in the rightmost street lamp in the picture on the AAMFP site. When clicked, the paper and the picture that you can see on the site right now appeared, but without the text. If one were to hold down their mouse button and move the mouse as if rubbing the paper, little snippets of texts from the letter would gradually appear. The more people looked at the picture, the more text appeared. When the whole letter was revealed, people who clicked on the hidden link were greeted with a text box where they could enter their e-mail address to receive a free copy of AAMFP upon release; the text was a bit bugged though so at first people didn't know what the email box was for. After a few minutes, the hidden link disappeared, along with the email box and all, and the letter could be seen plainly on the site.

EDIT: Oh Paddy, you're such a ninja.

Alright, sounds interesting so far. The letter was a bit confusing, though, I'm not sure why Mandus needs kids for.

Making pig-children?

Eating children?

Time will tell ...

If Oswald brought an evil fate upon the children on purpose, I might start to cry.

[Draug]

Sooo... now we have to wait for more puzzles?

I guess this is where i post this but i have always had something in my mind that i thought would be a phenomonal game mechanic. Like containment breaches blinking or amnesias breathing it would be extremely cool for them to add in a heart beat. When your characters fear hits a certain level or when it gets extremely quiet you hear your own heartbeat and its fluctuation. Id love to be scared shitless running from something and my hearing to fade out and all i hear is my heart rate skyrocketing. I think one of the most soothing sounds is that of the heart beating but at the same time used in a different situation, could be terrifying.
Another thing i noticed from the trailers is that theyve got different breathing patterns. If all else fails make it so that your breathing becomes the only thing you can hear it makes things seem really intense and just adds to the horror. I know what theyve done with the game is probably set in stone but coming from someone who used to draw up ideas as a kid of what would make games better and mail them in im hoping this would be the next best thing

Ehh, that seems way too dark. "R" for restricted? Such themes with children usually being played very subtle (like in TDD), because this is a slippy ground and very controversial topic (more than anything else).
