2013-08 Tuesday 20th, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Bloody Preorder

**jens** · 08-20-2013, 07:38 AM

It's time to step back into the darkness. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, the follow-up to the genre-defining horror game, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, is now available for pre-order with a 20-percent discount.

The year is 1899. Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus has returned home from a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy. Wracked by fever, haunted by dreams of a dark machine, he recovers consciousness in his own bed, with no idea of how much time has passed since his last memory. As he struggles to his feet, somewhere beneath him, an engine splutters, coughs, roars into life…

From the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dear Esther comes a new first-person horror game that will drag you to the depths of greed, power and madness. It will bury its snout into your ribs and it will eat your heart. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is survival–horror at its most unsettling; helpless and alone, no weapons to soothe your nerves, and the dim light of your lantern to offer any comfort.

For Windows, Mac, and Linux, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is available for $15.99 ($19.99 regularly) at these digital distributors:

Desura
GameFly
Gamer's Gate
GOG
MacGameStore
Steam

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs' narrative-driven horror, free of combat and complex puzzles, instead encourages players to entrench themselves in the world, be consumed by its ambiance, and run for their lives.

I did a pre-order in the Steam, and will there be preloading? I would like to pre-load the game to play as soon as it appears!

Not sure about the preloading, if possible then yes, if not then no.

Could it be made clear whether Windows 8 is supported / untested, quite a few potential buyers are wondering AFAICS.

Hm, no linux if from gog.com? Will the game be available through store.frictionalgames.com?

**jens** · 08-20-2013, 09:34 AM

GOG does not support Linux. Our new "store" is the Humble Store, the old one will close soon.

Will it support you more if we buy from your site rather than the others?

You support them the most, if you buy the game from the humblestore. Also it's the best for you, because you get the game DRM free AND an additional steam key!
