News on a followup to the popular horror title, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, has surfaced from a Joystiq interview. The new game will be called Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (amazing title!) and will be made in collaboration with thechineseroom, developers of Dear Esther, a Source game that is apparently art. It’s available on Steam right now, if you want to confirm for yourself whether or not it is, in fact, art.
Anyway, the new Amnesia will be taking place in the same setting as the first, but will tell a new story with new characters. Here’s how Joystiq describes it:
Set in 1899, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs follows the “wealthy industrialist” Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from “a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy.” Struck by a destructive fever, Mandus is haunted by dreams of a dark machine until he mysteriously regains consciousness. Months have passed, unbeknownst to the industry tycoon, and as he emerges from his slumber the roaring engine of a mysterious machine sputters to life.
This game already sounds amazing, and the Dear Esther developers seem like a great fit for this kind of game. I’ll be looking forward to shitting myself in fear when this game comes out.
