Characters & Builds

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a narrative-focused horror game that places you in the shoes of a single, predefined character: Oswald Mandus. As such, there are no character creation options, classes, or 'builds' in the traditional RPG sense. Your experience is entirely centered around Mandus's perspective, his memories, and his descent into madness. The game's design prioritizes a singular, immersive narrative over player customization or combat mechanics.

Instead of character builds, the game focuses on the psychological development and unraveling of Mandus's character. Understanding his motivations, his past, and his philosophical beliefs is key to appreciating the story. This section will delve into the primary characters you encounter or learn about, and how their roles contribute to the overarching narrative.
