I realize that this kinda defeats the point, but...

That's why Penumbra is so scary - no projectile weapons, no gunfights with monsters, no safe instant slaughtering... Just good old bare-handed close combat... :-) Oh, BTW, did you know that the second episode doesn't even feature any weapons ? Oops, now I probably scared you a bit... ;-DD

That information, combined with certain things I heard at the end of the game (Alas, poor Red. I actually didn't know him very well, Horatio.) has more or less killed my desire to buy the sequel.

It's been fun, but I hope never to play a game like this again. I'm going back to isometric RPG games...
