[spoiler]strange artifact in black plague

[eliasfrost]

Because of the "BONUS ITEM SOUND" when you pick it up, i'm sure it's one of many bonus items you find in the game, and (a wild guess) in the end of the game, it shows how many you found or something.

If you read the email in the flow, you'll find it says this in the bottom email
"-Something Something artifacts; 27 (now believed to be somehow related to the contents of the recently discovered tomb)
-somethign artifacts: 10 (Of little to the A(something) but, for some reason, of great collectible value to the lower caste)
-T(something) Tomb"

The file also talks about how their base is within 1/2 mile of the 1973 explosion, caused by a 'Crazed miner' and how, while the base is nearly self sufficient, was quite vulnerable to being found out 2 years ago with high amounts of shipping for materials needed to make the base.

The part of the email where the above information is mentioned.

Spoiler below!

Having a read myself, I think it says

Spoiler below!

Says "'Persona Tardus' Artefacts; 27(...)
'Finis Special[is?]' Artefacts (Of little real value to the Archaic but, ...)
'Tuurngalt Tomb'

If anyone's interested.

What was the name of the virus again?

[Penumbra]

Umm, mabey its the Black Plague.

how do you get into the computer room? as soon as I touch the door, I get that orange glow and the game is over.

Or, you can use an object to push open the door such as a cereal box.
The script activates when the player 'touches' (aka: clicks) on the door, not by getting close toit.

Nah, the name of the actual virus. It's given a name... I have a sneaky suspicion its the Tuurngalt virus.

Maybe that artefact is easter egg or some bonus item. Maybe if you find them all in the full game then you get candy!

CANDY! really thou i think it might unlock a minigame. like cooking with phillip!
