[split] Penumbra Series Ending Discussion (spoilers)

[TinchoSnot99]

[SPOILER]


Well... I have to manage to give my opinion 5 years later hahahaha
I've played all Penumbra games and also Necrologue, the Amnesia mod that actually completes the story that ends up in 0.
And the ending is amazing, for example I have read the thread posts and talking about Black Plague's ending is easy. You send an E-mail to a friend, asking him to do all the things asked by the Hive Mind and that exact E-mail is the one that is being written in the beginning of Overture.
Requiem, the expansion is only a... kind of dream, like a platformer expansion that makes you believe that you escape again (if you collect the artifacts and do that ending) in the ship where you arrived to the mine. But in the common ending it shows that Phillip is only dreaming after being hit hardly by an infected.
And... well, I don't know if it's good to talk about Necrologue, 'Cause I don't know if Frictional has officialy said that the mod made by CounterCurrent (best mod ever, amazing!) fits perfectly with the story of the previous Penumbra games. But for me it's the righteous one. And as I understood, the both endings of the game, in one I think that you appear like an "after-all" in your home, like if you were writing all the stuff, the story of the games; and in the second ending you appear again, waking up in the mine opposite the entrance ladder and you climb up the surface, where you escape by the boat that brings you there at first, like if the whole story was only a dream, like Requiem.
But I'm not totally sure of that, I suppose that it is. Maybe there are other possibilities of explanation for both endings of Necrologue, or previous Penumbra games, who knows.
