{{quote| ''The year is 1899. Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus has returned home from a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy. Wracked by fever, haunted by dreams of a dark machine, he recovers consciousness in his own bed, with no idea of how much time has passed since his last memory. As he struggles to his feet, somewhere beneath him, an engine splutters, coughs, roars into life...''}}
 
Developed by thechineseroom and published by Frictional Games, ''Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs'' is a sequel to ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent]]''.

* [[Industrialized Evil]]: Seems to be a major [[Motifs|Motif]], if [http://www.aamfp.com/ the concept art] is anything to go by. Images of factory settings, often uncomfortably cramped, and stained with blood and blurry figures in the distance.
* [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: The developers freely admit that ''A Machine For Pigs'' was an odd name for a sequel to a horror game, but the more they thought about it, the more that they liked it. They kept the name in part because it ''was'' so odd, that it would stick out in people's minds, and not fit into a neatly defined category for what people expect. The intention was to make it seem ''just a little'' uncomfortable. More than that, it has a [[Meaningful Name]] too. To quote [[Word of God|writer Dan Pinchbeck]]:
{{quote| "This world is a machine fit only for pigs. Fit for the slaughtering of pigs."}}
* [[Victorian London]]: The setting for the game. To [[Word of God|quote Dan Pinchbeck]], "We're going full on ''Victoriana''." While London has always been important to the main character of all previous Frictional Games, this is the first one to feature it as a setting.
