Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Dr. Swinestein]

...The possibility of Mayan culture in this game fascinates and scares me. I think it's going to be great, whether there will be any indication of animal or human sacrifice or not. I have been pondering Oswald's 'trip to Mexico' bit and know there is far more about the game's plot then we may think we know.

I think exactly the same way, because of the hint with the mayan culture-like pedestal under the swine-cruzifix.

It cant be just a creative coincidence if you compare it with aztecs art.

Perhaps in the storyline will be an important new (secret?)"religion"-cult or sect - a mixture out of the christianity and the mayan human (and pigs?)sacrifice cult... and mandus has to do with it since his trip to mexico...

In cultures which practised human blood sacrifices - the dolorous slaughtering of babys, small children and young virgins had the most energetic effect in their superstitious belief of gaining more magic might through it.
They thaught that their gods will give them much luck and power after doing these bloody things. (not only the aztecs did those things, the Sumerians did it almost the same way with their horrible cult of Ba'al)

Perhaps the poor orphans from the letter are scheduled for something like this weird stuff.

when anything of such things will be in aamfp - it would be eerie! (on a strange but good way)
