4/10
Again held back by the lack of interesting interactions with its monsters, A Machine for Pigs pulls through with a bite-sized and more interesting setting and narrative. While I don't mourn the loss of the sanity mechanic, it fails to do anything interesting with light/darkness, and the loss of the inventory can be attributed towards its greatly simplified puzzles. Much like with Justine, it is a great concept that lacks the complexity to make it truly engaging.
