Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs focuses on horror, atmosphere, and psychological storytelling without identity-driven casting. Characters are developed through personal flaws and trauma, not modern ideological checkboxes. No forced representation or emphasis on traits like race, gender, or sexuality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game's early-1900s London setting includes dark themes about industry and human nature but doesn't directly attack or subvert religion, masculinity, or traditional family values. Some might find its criticism of industrialization a bit heavy-handed, but it stops short of modern cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to no overt political messaging or villainization of traditional perspectives. The horror is universal, focused on existential dread and guilt, not identity politics or one-sided ideological narratives. Alternative viewpoints are not mocked or simplistic.
