Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[The Rock Worm]

More diverse monsters

I, when I was first playing Amnesia 1 and had a glimpse of the Water Horror, was hoping to have an area where you were completely underwater and have a water monster chase you.

As for what Bridge said, I didn't realize they were short stories. I guess it's better to have a game using Lovecraft themes because that way you can have a longer story.


Damascus_Rose, thank you for letting me know that the games were already heavily Lovecraft based. I had heard before (back when I first started playing Amnesia 1) that the games were Lovecraft based, but hadn't realized then just how much of the Lovecraft themes they used in Penumbra and Amnesia 1. Considering that Lovecraft Stories were short, I guess all I was truly saying was adding some more of his themes to the games. Lovecraft had various dangerous entities such as Shub-Niggurath, Cthulhu, and more. Any/All of these entities could be based off of to have as the major 'bad-guy' (or girl in Niggurath's case) in a future game. Niggurath's Dark Young are tree-like, can you imagine a harmless tree suddenly jumping out at you with legs and tentacles? The Deep Ones are fish monsters that, as far as I've seen them in the card game, have the ability to walk on land. Lovecraft has so many monsters that I probably haven't heard of (but any of you could have) that could fit in Amnesia 2.
