    Philip's dad doesn't tell him to come to Greenland. He tells him to burn the documents and information on how to get to the facility. It's Philip's curiosity, trait running in his familiy and in Archaic, that compelled him to look and doomed him

      @@The1of1000 It's more likely it was named that to reflect the lighting engine, since it held that name in the original demo. A catchy, cool word to corral interest in the tech. A penumbra can allude to an opening door with light coming from behind it or moving shadows being cast.

    SPOILERS: There is only one issue though, Philips father didn't want him to come to the Greenland mines, he wanted Philip to destroy all of the evidence leading to the mines to prevent others from finding it. If no one had messed with the evidence, then whenever someone empties out the safe at the bank they'd end up with a trail leading to Greenland, potentially making things far worse. Philip was never meant to actually become curious about Greenland and go there, and his father most likely didn't say anything in his letter because he was under the influence of the Tuurngait.
    EDIT: Also, the email Philip sends out at the end was a call for his friend to kill the Tuurngait more than anything, the facility is part of that, but it was a call of arms against what he believed to be an enemy of mankind. The whole reason the Tuurngait sends him on the spiritual journey is to see if he has what it takes to help them and to make the facility unknown to others, but instead he tricks them.

  • @chillhour6155
    @chillhour6155 4 роки тому +51

    After playing just 30 min of this game back in the day for me it was an instant 9/10, this was at a time where the horror genre was being abandoned so it was just so refreshing to be able to play something so atmospherically creepy, especially after the dissapointment that was silent Hill homecoming

    • @ossiehalvorson7702
      @ossiehalvorson7702 2 роки тому +2

      Where the genre hadn't been abandoned, it had stagnated into shooters where the only scares were jump scares (more of a cheap adrenaline trick than a scare), because you can't fill players with real fear when they can just turn around and fill something with lead.
      No other game at the time had that bone chilling feeling where you just wanted to hide in a corner and not move in-game for 45 minutes. Those games made hardened horror fiends squirm and take breaks to cool off lol

    • @destroyerinazuma96
      @destroyerinazuma96 2 роки тому +2

      I think Penumbra is an example of a game to be enjoyed for the journey rather than the ending or some "deep" plot, like the older Silent Hills. I've come to realize Lovecraft and most horror writers weren't after life-changing plots or enlightening stories for the reader's personal development, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    Just finished the series about a week ago and I found myself quite surprised how scary “Black Plague” was. I think the winning formula that made it scarier than pretty much every other game, is that it forces you to complete complex and obtuse puzzles under extreme duress. I’d say this was even scarier than Amnesia, because in this you spend a great deal of time trying to understand what the puzzles even conceptually are supposed to be in the first place, when you’re simultaneously being chased by the Tuurngait.

    Replaying Penumbra: Black Plaue now to see if it really is as good of a horror game as I remember it to be. I must say, Oe umbra got so much overshadowed by Amnesia that I have barely seen anyone covering it, despite it being fairly superior to almost any horror game/series IMHO and really the granddad of any horror games of its ilk. Also, it has one of the BEST atmospheres in any horror game ever. Thank you for covering it! Amnesia, while okay, is inferior in almost all aspects to Penumbra I think.

    My favorite thing about Requiem is that if you get on top of a box, grab it with your mouse and start to jump, you can fly. It's so good

    Played all 2.5 Penumbras before Amnesia back in the day like the good boy that I am.
    That pickaxe in Overture carried me hard through the latter half of the game and broke the challenge of it. Don't think the devs ever intended for me to lug it around from that area you find it in all the way to the end.
    P. S. Wait, not sure fi I played Requiem, but if not - guess I didn't lose out on much.
