Most beautiful moments of the game?

[Alardem]

The descent into the Machine's heart gave a good glimpse of the sheer inhuman scale of the mechanical horror. There's also the Pig Nest, a macabre scene which engenders pity for your victims and reinforces the theme that pigs and humans are all too similar. For all Oswald's delusions about animals being innocent, the Pigs themselves contradict this: a larger Pig, perhaps a former upperclassman, will tread on the weaker wretches just because they get in his way.

The ending's impressive too. Not the ultra-violent festival of blood and entrails that I'd expected for the climax, but the execution of the final monologues continues to touch me. I suppose it's because the themes expressed - of future anxiety, the perpetuity of violence and victimization, destructive paternalism - are ones relevant to this day and transcend the digital nature of the computer game's use of mutant pigs.
