Amnesia: A Machine for PigsvsThe Last Door
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A narrative-driven horror walk through a Victorian slaughterhouse engine, lighter on systems than its predecessor.
The Last Door
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Minimalist horror adventure testing patient puzzle work through fixed Victorian dread.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos); The Last Door leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).
Amnesia: A Machine for PigsThe Last Door
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Walking and lever-pulling demand essentially nothing physical
The Last Door
Low-res clicking demands nothing physically
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Manpigs are scripted set-dressing, rarely a true threat
The Last Door
Lovecraftian horrors are scripted scenes, not minds
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
First-run unknowns are the whole experience; spoilers defuse it
The Last Door
The cryptic story is hidden information revealed linearly
Optimization5 vs 6
The Last Door leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Light puzzles and routes are trivially solvable on repeat
The Last Door
Each chapter's puzzles have one discoverable solution
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
