Abstract

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is the output of a research-through-design process exploring the concept of Disruptive Game Design - an approach to game design that focuses on subverting established rules and patterns of game design in order to heighten a player's degree of cognitive engagement during play.

The game itself provides a standalone contribution to games culture and the games industry, whilst also providing a research tool for gathering supporting qualitative data from players regarding the experiential impact of the specific design decisions made during the game's creation.

The game supports a number of further publications, including a PhD thesis, multiple conference publications and industry articles.
