Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Diz]

I saw the new AAMFP content on their site, but I have not had a chance to comment yet. I do not know much to say other than it just feeling very eerie, though. I think it was all an accident that occured in Oswald's factory, but what kind? Also, did all of the children die? It really makes me wonder.

Nonetheless, it breaks my heart to read the current tease text on the site, seeing as the previous text introduced us to the poor children.

Edit: Also, I was thinking of something interesting. Do you think that there may be a reason why they are releasing these texts and teasers? I personally believe that it may have an affect on gameplay and aid in the amnesia experience. In the first game, Daniel was unable to forget absolutely everything. Although the Guardian might have assisted in forcing his memories back, I think very strong impressions may be the other reason why some memories lingered.

Take the texts we have been given so far, for instance. You have the part where Oswald was told about the joy and excessive help he has been for the poor children, giving them food, and one of the children made him a small gift which very well may have touched him so much as to make a strong impression on him. The latter text with the grave, well, do I have to explain why this can cause an extreme impression?

Perhaps they want us to faintly "remember" certain parts of his past when we start the game to simulate the amnesia effect. Very strong impressions that we yet have to puzzle together to find out exactly what has happened.

And now I am just thinking too deeply about things ... Anyway!
