Penumbra (Requiem) Ending General Discussion

[BAndrew]

He might have gotten on the ship the same way he has been moving through the Shelter (by using the teloporters). Most likely he is now stuck forever in that "half place", but most people I have chatted with believe he is alive and going home. I think the devs added that for fun or to lighten up the ending, giving the player a choice. Either way, it makes me question if Philip's reality is as it seems.

Could the friend he sent the e-mail have saved him? Why not?? His dream (whatever you call it) could have last many hours and he finally wakes up in a ship to his home.... Anyway ....
