When Mandus finally reactivates the machine, he realizes that he was betrayed; his children had been murdered by him before he slipped into a fever, and the guiding voice was the other half of his soul combined with the machine. Now fully functional, the machine unleashes an army of pigmen onto London, killing any and all they come across and sending them down to feed the machine's monstrous appetite.
Oswald, realizing that he was the one who created the machine, returns underground to destroy it once and for all. The Machine pleads with him to reconsider, as he reveals Oswald murdered his sons after he was shown a vision of their future deaths in World War I. But Oswald realizes he has no right to take the fate of humanity into his own hands, and in his final act of redemption and guilt, he deactivates the Machine.
As the world enters the 20th century, Mandus and the machine both lay dead far beneath the streets of London.

After the expiration of the countdown, a message on the page read "A machine for pigs coming fall two thousand twelve. On June 14, , the first teaser trailer was released on the frictionalgames YouTube channel. It showed various scenes from the game, from industrial settings to more studious rooms.

In this conversation, the currently unnamed professor says, "My dear Mister Mandus, I admire your vision, I really do, but there are surely not enough pigs in the whole of London to feed the appetite of such a machine," to which Mandus replies, "That all rather depends, Professor, on what one considers to be a pig.

It told of a message from Missus Tabitha Stepwood , who is implied to head an orphanage, sent to the main character, Oswald Mandus , thanking him for a generous gift of sausages for the starving orphans, and the creation of a programme which would most likely reform child labour.
Nonetheless, the last line, which says " They will, I assure you sir, make the most wonderful additions to your product line ", could suggest that these children were being incorporated to The Machine in a way.
The full letter reads:. I take this opportunity to write to you personally with my sincerest and most heartfelt thanks. Your generosity is an inspiration to us all. Last night I sat the head of the table and watched the orphans happily eating, for once, they will not go to sleep hungry.
This morning, Alice knocked upon my door, and she had made for you this tussie-mussie of dried flowers, which I enclose.
Please tell the kind sir, she said, that these were the finest sausages a child ever ate. Find latest and upcoming tech gadgets online on Tech2 Gadgets.
