RE: Should Penumbra continue?
Honestly, the Penumbra story with Philip was over in Black Plague; Requiem wasn't even necessary. Therefore, I see little reason to keep pushing the series. On the other hand, I would really enjoy a new modern themed horror game from Frictional Games, now that they have more experience.
I've always enjoyed the modern themed horror setting, it always made more sense to me and is more relatable than an abandoned castle from the 1500's. I've never been one to believe in the supernatural that is almost always present in the older settings (i.e. ghosts, demons, spirits), but I feel that genetically mutated human/animal type monsters are scarier simply because it is possible, making it more relatable and overall a more personal experience.
tl;dr - Not Philip's Penumbra, but perhaps a new story under the same name; oh, and hpl3.
I rate it 3 memes.
