I asked that somewhere in this forum when the demo just came out. Someone claimed it may just be one of those puzzle things that you'd do throughout the game, but as we see now, that's not the case.
I couldn't figure out how the tape got in there. I'm sure it's on everyones mind; at least mine.

None of the things mentioned in this thread are flukes or whatever.
The Red this is because:

Yeah. I smiled at that little plot hole too... :-) But who knows - maybe the Infected love tidying old cassetes... :-DD Well, it would have been more natural, if the cassete was lying on the floor, or just thrown under the table with the recorder...

I meant to say, that the researcher of the AEC, Carpenter (or what that geezer's name was anyway), would have droped it on the floor, when the "zombie" attacked him (..."no, please - please ! Noooooooooo..."). You get the idea... ;-)
P.S. I sometimes speculate, if the zombie in the hallway wasn't Carpenter himself... :-P

As for Amabel, the injuried Philip experiences might just be imaginary. Even hallucinations can cause deadly shocks.

sorry to dig up an old thread but just got the keycard and opened up the room to amabel and what a disappointment.. I knew she would be dead or something.. I thought it would have been good to have a sidekick in the game and some dialogue to look forward to at the end of each task from Amabel but nooo Frictional had to kill her off..
I think it would have been fun to keep her alive and work together to get out of the place alive. Course I can't say that would be better because I haven't completed the game yet but I expect its just gunna end boringly like Amnesia.
Hope I am wrong but it just seems to be Frictionals style to end games like a Steven King novel.

Nah bro. Red manned up and ate spiders or mice in motor oil

It could be that she was in fact a Tuurngait, but in order to further destroy your brain Clarence forces you to hallucinate Amabel's uninfected body.
It can be assumed that just about everyone in the facility was infected by the time they made that run for the surface, and Amabel's infection could have been similar to Philips in how it only gained control over smaller parts of the brain, rather than drive her completely wacko. While Philip was searching for the key card the infection could have simply overtaken her.
RE: Amabel? (spoiler + analysis) - Bek - 03-15-2011
Or Clarence was faking the messages from her too. But probably not. Anyway I subscribe to the logical theory that she was a tuurngait and Clarence made it appear as if you killed an uninfected person.
You monster.
