Thoughts on A:AMFP

You have interesting points and I understand that they can very easily make sense. Now, for starters, I am not the voice of reason, just one of it's many forms.
I say it was less repetitive because there is a lot more variety and changes both in plot and scenery.
I disagree when you say they added nothing new. First they added a game genre. Then by removing those mechanics they changed the gameplay style to match that genre. I'm sure there are other additions as well I don't have the time to discuss.

The fact the story was so good is because you can somehow identify with it since it can be related to certain real life experiences a good ammount of people have.

As far as I know this is the first Amnesia: A machine for pigs. I'm happy they chose to target a similar audience as Dear Esther. I tend to dislike games that bring nothing new to my knowledge bank. This certainly wasn't one of them.

Creativity in it's many forms is the key to enjoy a game like this.
