Disappointed with AAMFP

[Alardem]

I'm pleased that A Machine For Pigs continued the themes and ideas raised by Justine. I just wonder if she ever suffered or redeemed herself for her actions, as Mandus and Daniel sought to...

The only way I can ever see that happening is if when she put amnesia on herself she forgets to properly remove it lol

Otherwise as she's currently is she seems like a pretty lost cause to be completely honest.

Mandus has done things on a vaster and arguably more horrific magnitude - yet he managed to literally split his soul in order to return to his senses. I bet something as simple as removing her 'Soapstone' could let her humanity resurface. Being forgiven by her suitors and pursuers is a different matter: there is no paranormal monster or man-eating machine to blame and stop, only the consequences of her own cruelty. The best case scenario for her would be getting locked up for the rest of her life.

It's possible she ran out of time shortly after her 'game'. The authorities were already onto her by the time we play as her, and back-up may arrive once they start being missed. One can also infer that the 'guests' she planned on meeting for dinner at the end are also to be kidnapped. Or maybe they're part of an aristocratic group through which she and Mandus become aware of paranormal artifacts.

Then again, Ozzy managed to regularly abduct his rich guests for quite some time and promptly killed or captured the professor who came to investigate. If he did 'well' for himself, so can she. Her fate, like Daniel's, is a mystery, and all the better for it.
