Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[Tesseract]

Love your theory on it, it is very interesting. Here's mine

I, too, think that what we see in the trailer is nothing more but a meat hook railing system, however, my assumption on the squealing is that I think that perhaps some of those cages we do not see are not all entirely empty. Also, I do feel that there may be a sinister creature in the room (the heftier grunting we first hear when Oswald walks into the area, the noise which sets him into panic mode.) You also hear the stomping, the pattering, and the rattling sound as if a cage door is being shaken. I think maybe there is a monster (not even going to call it a pig monster, as most everyone seems to be believing it to be) checking the security of the cages in the room. So, I feel that thechineseroom was smart having us focused on the meat hook since as soon as it goes by, Oswald leaves the cage and continues onward. But what if as soon as he takes a turn up ahead, there is a scary surprise waiting for him around a corner? Or, perhaps, what if it comes up right behind him? That's the feeling I got watching that scene, and it makes me all that more excited.

I love the idea of the monster checking the cages for any open doors as though it's looking for where the player went! That would be extremely tense but would the AI be advanced enough to perform such behaviours. I also agree that not all of the cages are empty, I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens.

The idea of a 'Pig monster' is a bit too easy as the title of the game seems like a metaphor but also a literal. I think the monsters will be a mixture of human and pig that became fused together in the guts of an elaborate machine but could the machine also be a metaphor? Again it's something we're yet to see.

I agree with this observation, I think the "box head" monster people had pointed out is the mechanical rail thingy you mentioned. It moves slow and steadily, and you can hear a mechanical clanking sound from the direction of this object at around 1:51:

Yes indeed you can, you can also see the object pass through those plastic door strands that you go through to get into the room - not the same ones though.
