One night in particular, Mandus awakes in a cage to find his home and entire factory seemingly abandoned and his children missing. “Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs” is the second game in the series developed by Fractional Games and follows the story of Mandus, a wealthy factory owner living in what one can assume to be a city in late 19 th century Britain. Nowadays, however, many indie studios have tried to step in and fill the void with their own horror games, and if there’s one game series that is responsible for bringing about this horror renaissance, it’s the “Amnesia” series. ![]() While this case isn’t universal, with a few games here and there really understanding how to terrify the player (*cough* “Alien: Isolation” *cough), those games are the exception rather than the rule. Most major publishing studios nowadays are scared of releasing horror games out of fear of being neglected by mainstream audiences, and the few studios that try either end up creating action games with a horror theme or games so miserably bad that their existence is scary in and of itself. ![]() ![]() The horror genre, as a whole, seems to be one of the most depressingly neglected facets of gaming culture one can be interested in.
