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 Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Some take place in the past, some in the present, and some are overtly real while some may be imagined. The game features several interlocking storylines. A Machine for Pigs was released on 22 November 2016 for the PlayStation 4 as part of the Amnesia Collection, including Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its Amnesia: Justine expansion.


The game became available to pre-order on 16 August 2013, and was released on 10 September 2013 to mixed reviews from critics. While set in the same universe as the previous game, it features a new cast of characters and time setting. Originally meant to be a mod, the game is an indirect sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which was both developed and produced by Frictional Games.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a survival horror video game developed by The Chinese Room and published by Frictional Games.
