This is absolutely beautiful in a very dark, dreary kind of way. There's a fantastic mood from this piece. :] Awesome job!

Amnesia a Machine for Pigs is a survival horror game played from a third person perspective similar too the Dark Descent.Many aspects of the first game are going to be the same like puzzles, hiding from enemies and sanity loss.But there will be some important and significant changes from the first game. The inventory screen (Tab) and the light sources (Oil and Tinderboxes will be removed. The oil was used to power the lantern in the Dark Descent, however the lantern will not be totally removed but redesigned. This time the lantern will not light the player's surroundings but shine a beam of light forward from the player's view, similar to the flashlight from the Penumbra Series. With oil and inventory removed in A Machine for Pigs it is currently unknown how the lantern will be powered. Some speculation indicates the possibility of using lightbulbs or batteries, assuming it will be an electronic lamp. But with the removal of the inventory it is also assumed that the lantern refill is going to be stationary similar to the oil tank from the Dark Descent.In this case the stationary locations could still be batteries in some form. A Machine for Pigs will of course have brand new monsters. It's been said that the new monsters will have a different A.I from the gatherers (the Dark Descent) and the suitors (Justine). How it will be different exactly is unknown. But it was also stated that this is to make monster's actions more difficult to predict even for veteran players of the Dark Descent and to make the game more interesting for the new and the older players.The story sets place in 1899 on New Year's Eve (60 years after the Dark Descent), the game's main character will be Oswald Mandus, a wealthy industrialist who returns from a disastrous expedition to Mexico, where tragedy struck.Hit by fever, Mandus has some weird dreams about a dark machine until he regains his consciousness and upon his awakening he hears a the roar of an engine and a machine starts up. The game will feature several interlocking story lines. Some occur in the present, some in the future and some are overly real while some are may be imagined.Some additional hints have been revealed in teasers, trailers and other promotional content thus far.It is stated in the October 31st trailer, in a conversation between Mandus and and unnamed professor that Oswald Mandus had an admirable vision involving a machine. What his vision was is unknown but it is assumed that this machine it's the same that roars into life Mandus' house when the game begins. When the teaser trailer starts we can hear a little boy singing a poem "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy staid at home, this little piggy had roast beef and this little piggy had none and this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home" after the poem the words "The world is a machine, a Machine for Pigs, fit only for the slaughtering of the pigs" pop out. The trailer ends with a conversation between Mandus and a character identified as the professor, which hints to the game's purpose. In this conversation, the currently unnamed professor says "My dear Mr. Mandus, I admire your vision, I really do but there aren't enough pigs in the whole of London to feed the appetite of such a machine" to which Mandus replies "That all rather depends, Professor, on what considers to be a pig". As the date of the game's release appears on the screen a child's voice is heard whispering "...Daddy....".Β
March 21st Teaser
A letter of heartfelt from Ms. Tabitha Stepwood
My dear Mr. Mandus
I take the opportunity to write to you personally with my sincerest and most heartfelt thanks. Your generosity is an inspiration to us all. Last night i set the head of the table and watched the orphans happily eating, for once, they will not go to sleep hungry.This morning Alice knocked upon my door, and she had made for you this tussie-mussie of dried flowers, which I enclose.
Please tell the kind sir, she said, that these were the finest sausages a child ever ate. To see a starveling so rosy-cheeked and well-fattend, well, Sir, it is a miracle most profound. We are indeed in your debt Mr. Mandus, and I am delighted to say that i have spoken with the Governors and they agree that we can proceed with your programme for child labour reform without hesitation. I hope you will find our children full of promise. They will, I assure you sir, make the most wonderful additions to your product line.
April 10th Teaser
Thus ever when we stumble by
Wet grasses on the knee bent lowΒ
And place our flowers by thy grave
And weeping, grip the soil below
And lift our children to the skies
And love for them, and conquer death
With candlelights, and tables tipped
We call your spirit back to us
A footfall in the darkened halls
Our twins at play, a lover's laugh
May 6th Teaser
Thrupenny sixpence sparrows and doves
See all the angels a-weeping above
There's no more forgiving, there's no-one to save
For today darling Lily goes intro her grave
August 2nd Teaser
A skin of shroud, a stump of bled
Old Lily is flyblown
Old Lily is dead
And dreams of the jungleΒ
Will flood up her head
And light up her head
As of August 5th, the poems have been removed and the site only has the original backstory of Oswald Mandus, screenshots, and the two trailers.

I've been eagerly awaiting this game for months and I've always loved the concept art behind it. This one was one of my favorite pieces though. Amazing detail and use of color, it really sets the mood.

Wait... more Amnesia?! Very interesting scheme, leaves a lot to the imagination, but not to much, creating a great sense of mystery. Lovely work Ben, I am very interested to see what else you can come up with, especially if it involves the creatures.

Oh god, oh god, oh god, please no, please, no no no....
if my friends catch wind of a new Amnesia game they're gonna make me play it with them and I'll lose several months worth of sleep AGAIN.
I mean, this concept art is awesome, and the games are also amazing, but... so, sooo terrifying....
