Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

Peci's theory seems completely legit. I think, however, that Oswald is not having a nightmare, and that everything that happens to him is real. I think someone wanted revenge on him, and is attempting to put him inside this "Machine for Pigs". Other than that, it's a really interesting theory.

We could just ask mods to move posts from existing thread.

I think it's not going to happen so I'll paste a part of what Kein said in the thread:

"The slaughtering machine for pigs Oswald saw/inspected in Mexico left a deep scar on his soul + plus he caught some kind of disease/fever there. Struggling with both of those and with his own inner conflicts he loses his mind for some time (described as "short blackout" in premise), but he is not actually unconscious during this period. His crazy genius develops this "dark machine" the roar of which he will be hearing. And his discovery of what happened and the reason why this machine exist will be his own self-discovery (hello Dear Esther)."

What this and BlackMuffin said, it really does make more sense in the Amnesia "universe" that the machine is real and not just a nightmare. And to take into consideration that the game's name is "Amnesia" after all, there must be something that Oswald has done but does not remember it.

There's no guarantee Oswald actually DID anything. Perhaps it was something done TO him? One can never be too sure :3

I really like how the story and concept art seem to present the machine as the nemesis in the story. The Shadow in TDD never really quite sat with me, since it wasn't grounded in reality. Really excited to see this game, and especially to see what this machine is all about.

We shall not speak about the unspeakable.

For your information: May contain spoilers...

Took a closer look on the video. HPL3 is finally including some outside gameplay, you could say. This means that we can actually do something outside, hopefully. Hopefully realistic fog blend too... There are gutter, streetlight and other models in the model list.
There will be a factory at some point. Again look at the model list.

Finally! Been waiting a long time to see better outside environments in a new FG project!
