Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 3

[maarten12100]

I'm ready for this I read the most sickening gore I've ever read this evening I can take on the world.
That little empathy I had left is now gone.

For those interested it is in the spoiler but it is 18+ and extremely gore-ey not for the faint hearted.

Spoiler below!

Taking you up on this. I'd consider myself pretty seasoned in sickening readings. I'll get back to you on this with an edit.

looking forward to hearing what you think about it

Is it true that there won't be CS on AAMFP?

Yes, and there is a reason why.

Couldn't find my post for some reason, even though I know exactly what page it was on.

That was pretty ugh... Not feeling brilliant tbh. It's a bit dulled though, I spent my morning reading stuff from nosleep and other sick places. My general outlook on the world after reading that is nil though. I definitely see what you mean there. Are they all true?

Yes, and there is a reason why.

Was a reason actually given?

I will continue my monologue of plot conspiracies because droog kindly encouraged me

I attached 3 images to this post. One is a cropped image of the cover art pig. One is a cropped image of altar painting in the “chapel” (taken from the first teaser video). And the last is an image of a Mayan priest. There certainly are more authentic pics of a Mayan priests available, but this has all the elements in one picture.

The cover art pig (mask?) seems to have Mayan style paintings on it (not my original observation). It has a symbol on it’s forehead which looks like an orb. Underneath it there is a heart symbol. The whole symbol is quite minimalistic, so it’s possible that the heart also has a meaning. Why is it raining on something that looks like floor paneling inside a house? Is it just for mood or does it have a meaning?

The altar glass is very interesting. There is a humanoid character which is either a were-pig or a person with a pig mask. Infront of the character is something that looks like a slayed pig. The character is holding an orb (edit: droog noticed that it might infact be a heart). The right hand painting looks like a factory. The pig-character has bracelets, somekind of a necklace and a certain type of robe/loincloth, which is longer in the center.

Then the Mayan priest. He has bracelets, a big necklace (there are even more similar samples available) and a loincloth which is longer in the center. Animal masks were a great part of Mayan culture (this priest seems to have an owl hat). The priest is even holding a heart in his hand. One type of human sacrifice was that the priest carved the heart of the living person right out of the chest of the sacrificial victim and the priest held the beating heart in his hand.

Just some observations.

The reason is simple: It's not needed to implement CS support. TDD has it and it's almost the same engine.
Also when they would decide to do CS support, the release probably must be moved again.

I also discovered these windows of the church in the teaser, and searched for a meaning. Is the person really holding a orb? For me it looks like a heart (remember the heart on the pig mask you mentioned). So what does this kind of art in a church mean? It must be some kind of a new cult which appeared in London. It can't be an old building, because of the machine(s) we can see in the window (or the church gets occupied by the cult).

[Peci]

Great observation! So it has even more similarities with a Mayan priest. Hmm. I'll return to this later.

I have started to think about the name "Old Lily".

It can be a nickname (Lilian, Elizabeth etc) or it may not be a human's name at all. To me it sounds like a suitable name for a pig or a cow too. Just a thought. (No offence to any Lilys out there )

[wolfman]

Where is this Mayan Priest taken from?
