screen goes black but doesn't crash game

[teaofcups]

I don't get it, I'm getting the cellar key in the archive and as I read the last Algeria? journal entry I fall down, the screen goes black and nothing happens.. I waited for quite a long time.
The game doesn't crash it just stops, did I die ?
Doesn't this game have a death screen ?

I can reload and change the order in which I read the journal entries but the last one always seems to knock me unconscience and the game is pretty much over but it doesn't tell me this, it just give me a black screen and I still hear the game sounds. (grunting, creaking)
I can return to the main menu no problem but I just don't get what is up with this.
Help ?

I've taken to just skipping the last journal entry so I won't "die" and continued no problem.

What is up with this ?
Bug, glitch, or feature ?
