Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs - Frictional Games Megathread
Solid³:
I was previously very disappointed with this game, but after beating it, wow, I'm very impressed.
The story was great, and that ending had me on the verge of tears. It was also pretty damn scary. The game was much darker than The Dark Descent, I can see why they gave us infinite oil. Several parts of the game were pitch black.
Spoilers:
The man on the phone is the other, insane half of Oswald that was created when he split the Orb he retrieved from Mexico in two. He journeyed to Mexico in search of the Orb for a source of unlimited power for his processing plant. When he split the Orb, the Orb granted visions upon him of the future 20th century, and WWI specifically. He saw what would happen to his children, and he was powerless to stop it. In an insane range, he killed his two children so that they wouldn't have to endure the future in store for them.
The engineer is Oswald's other half, disguised to trick the Professor who came to inspect his establishment because of Government suspicion. In the end of the game, Oswald finds the central control (the pyramid) and finally turns off the machine. His other half, who is controlling the entirety of the machine, impales his heart out of anger of being defeated. This all happens in the final hours of New Years Eve. As the machine turns off, the world enters the new century.

Can anyone recommend a good let's play of this? I can't play it myself, so I might as well watch somebody else do it.

This is the one I watched. No commentary, no 'oh my god how did you miss that go back NO THAT WAY GOD DAMN IT' moments save for a single occurrence, and plenty of time to read notes and whatnot.

I don't think I've ever tried watching an LP without commentary. I'll give it a shot, thanks.
