''Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs'' is a survival horror video game developed by The Chinese Room and published by Frictional Games. The game is an indirect sequel to ''Amnesia: The Dark Descent'', developed and produced by Frictional Games. While set in the same universe as the previous game, it features an entirely new cast of characters and time setting.〔 The game became available to pre-order on 16 August 2013, and was released on 10 September 2013. == Plot == The game features several interlocking storylines. Some take place in the past, some in the present, and some are overtly real while some may be imagined.〔 Set in London on New Year's Eve, 1899,〔 the game's protagonist is Oswald Mandus, a wealthy industrialist and butcher who is implied to be the great grand-nephew of Daniel, the protagonist of the first game. Upon the beginning of the game, he awakens from a fever that has unknowingly lasted for several months, after returning from a "disastrous" expedition to explore Aztec ruins in Mexico. Throughout the game, he hears the voices of his sons, Edwin and Enoch, calling for him as they lead him through the different areas of the game. Mandus receives a call on the telephone from "the Engineer", who tells Mandus that Edwin and Enoch have been trapped far below them, in the "Machine" which Mandus created beneath his house. Even worse, the Machine has been sabotaged, putting his sons in danger. The Engineer tasks Mandus with clearing the floodwaters and bringing the Machine back online, providing ongoing guidance through telephones throughout the facility. Mandus is opposed in his tasks by the Manpigs, deformed swine-like monstrosities that patrol the depths through which he descends. Mandus eventually reactivates the Machine, but the Engineer betrays him, taking control of the Machine and unleashing Manpigs out into the streets of London to round up unsuspecting victims with which to feed itself. Mandus regains his memory, recalling the recent past: after returning from Mexico, Mandus was consumed with obsession over a vision of the future from a device he and his children found in an Aztec temple known as "the egg," hinted to be an Orb, in which both of his children are killed at the Battle of the Somme. Driven mad by the vision, Mandus decided that he could not allow it to come to pass, and he built the Machine to create a godlike being via mass ritual human sacrifice, to save humanity from its own carnage. He then sacrificed Edwin and Enoch to the machine to spare them of their fate at the Somme. From there, Mandus then began a one-man vendetta against all of mankind, holding massive parties where he would capture and grind up rich socialites into sausage to sell, and killing hordes of child workers to feed the captive Manpigs. Now remembering everything, Mandus vows to finish what he started by destroying the Machine once and for all. Despite the pleas of the Engineer, who believes the world would be better off if the Machine is allowed to consume it, Mandus succeeds in recreating most of the sabotage. He then reaches the inner chamber, in which dwells the Engineer himself - a deranged fragment of Mandus' soul which had bonded with the machine and was given life by the sacrifices, and which now plans to wipe the world clean of life after apparently witnessing even more future atrocities such as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II and the massacres perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge. He manages to reach the core of the machine: a massive pyramidal structure referred to as 'The Temple' by the Engineer and forces the Engineer back into his soul. Mandus sacrifices himself to the Machine, putting an end to both it and the Engineer, and ending the horrors above as the new year begins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
