Amesia A Machine For Pigs: You are an amnesiac young man who just happened to wander into a slaughterhouse for pigs. Through a convoluted series of events, you become one of the foremost workers at the slaughterhouse, and the game turns into a rhythm game, where you have to match your button presses to the rhythm of the wanton slaughtering going on before your very eyes. And the 'music' is entirely made up of a mashup of the various squeals of pigs right as they're about to 'get it.' Are you ready for some bacon?!grin
