Achievements?

Terrible idea. Most "achievements" are nothing more than passing events, and you can get most of them just by playing through the main game once. It might have worked somehow in Requiem, but in an immersive horror game like the first two parts of Penumbra, it really doesn't work. Imagine this:

You're sneaking through an ominous hallway with bizarre sounds in the area. All of a sudden, a zombie walks through the door and discovers you... Terror and panic overcomes you as you desperately try to flee from it. You notice a trashcan up against the wall... It might provide a sufficient amount of time for you to escape the creature's grim clutches. You throw the can towards the zombie and knock it over. Suddenly... a queer rectangle appears in the corner of your eye... it has some kind of an inscription upon it; it reads: "Garbage day! - You knocked over a zombie with a garbage can. 5/1000"

You are at that time teleported back to your average and uneventful reality. Immersion broken.
