He seems to have lost his two sons, his wife may be dead, something bad happened recently during an expedition to Mexico, and there is something very strange going down with regard to pigs in and around his home and adjacent factory. You play as Oswald Mandus, a rich industrialist/adventurer who awakens at the beginning of the game in his mansion with no memory of his recent past. This eerie tale takes place at the end of 1899 in London.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is cerebral, legitimately frightening, and very, very disturbing.
