I'll play this if it comes to Game Pass.

I missed Friday's BaD. Nooooooooooooo!
Today's game is Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, a sort of sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The game is basically a horror walking simulator, where you explore a mostly non-interactive world while an insane soundtrack and imagery give you the chills. However, the story that is revealed in the end is utterly bonkers, and rivals some movies and books in its originality. I reviewed this for Pixlbit here:

I procrastinated a lot when it came to playing this game, but when I finally bit the bullet and beat it, I was impressed. Like I said, the story is really perverse and haunting, and I'm still impressed with it, years later. But as a "game", it's not so great. Walking simulators were a big deal about five years ago, and there were a lot of them. However, I will say this game has something going for it that some others don't, and the climax of the experience is definitely so weird that it has to be seen to be believed.
