Something in Penumbra that went missing in Amnesia

[TheDevoidLife]

Amnesia also missed alternative carryable light sources. They probably didn't add another light source because nobody really used flares in Penumbra. Penumbra only didn't have that part when Philip loses his glowstick and flashlight and he has to use flares on some creepy dark corridor. I was actually expecting that on some parts of Penumbra like the sewers in Black Plague. Or spider tunnels in Overture. They are screaming for that creepyness.
I hope next Amnesia would have this... HINT HINT

Cry of Fear (A HL1 mod) has this, puts you on the edge of your seat CONSTANTLY during that bit.

Spoiler below!

Oh gods, I started freaking out when *low battery* flashed on the phone

Agreed on both points, flares were sometimes great because they covered more radius than the glowstick, but they were pretty ineffective.
Cry of Fear had you panicking, just hoping that around that corner there was another flare so you wouldn't be left in the dark.
