Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a bunch of theories surrounding this game, which I thought I might post here. [...epic block of text...]

Hm...nice theory, but isn't that pretty much the exact same plot TDD had? Except that Oswalds motivation is greed instead of homesickness and that the torture machines have been replaced with...well, with a pig machine and a virus?

I think I'd prefer if the story was a bit more morally ambiguous and with less supernatural/ pseudoscientific elements.

Like, say, there's a terrible famine in London. People are literally dieing in the streets, the crime rate goes through the roof, the collapse of the city is just around the corner - and then someone looks at all the criminals that are being sentenced to death every day and puts two and two together.

Who cares? They're being hanged and then their corpses are just being thrown on the same pile as all the starved people anyway. Maybe it is time for a resourceful individual with access to industrial machines to come up with a radical new idea and become the hero who saved the people of London...
