  <b>Moderately disappointed Penumbra does not open with you slaying 10,000 penguins to avenge your father</b>

  Someone realizing they&apos;re in a morality test and just faking it to get out is the most human a game protagonist has gotten by themself.

  A hivemind that doesn&apos;t try to enslave humanity and just wants to keep it to itself is honestly a new concept...<br>Every time a hivemind is introduced in a setting, it will try to enslave humanity and the hero of the story will stop it...

  I love the idea of finally uncovering the eldritch truth, and it just being kind of chill and asking you to leave it alone. I know it&apos;s not that simple in Black Plague, but the basic idea is hilarious to me.

  Disappointed that you didn&apos;t mention that Red was trapped as a 14-year-old that wasn&apos;t really supposed to be working there, and so when he got caught in a cave in, the foreman didn&apos;t want to get in trouble and never mentioned he could be in there.

  Penumbra Overture was one of the first games to scare the living daylights out of me before I learned you can hammer your way through everything

  The fact that they had the balls to pull a &quot;Humanity was the real monster&quot; twist <b>AND</b> had the skill to pull it off!

  I will never forget how Penumbra 2 created THE scariest moment in a video game of my life. <br>I was a teenager, not overly scared but loving the game, and I was saving the batteries until the end. When I felt things are coming to a close I started using it. The FIRST time I decide to use the flashlight I turn it on expecting to feel less scared now that there&apos;s more light and I turn it on... not seeing how in the corner of the halo I am shining light on the monster... the monster IMMEDIATELY turns around and I SMASHED the Esc button to pause the game and take a 10-minute break 😂

  A trilogy with a solid first entry, an interesting second game with a memorable ending and a third game that&apos;s entirely in the mind and isn&apos;t literal? Goddamnit, Bungie.

  For as janky as the enemies can be in Overture, the dogs pulled off one of the scariest maneuvers I&apos;ve ever encountered. When I was being chased in the area seen at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=088ixiftXaU&amp;t=628">10:28</a>, I climbed onto a railing along the wall that was too high up for the dogs to reach, and one of them ran up a nearby platform, then JUMPED off the platform onto the railing, and knocked my ass back to the ground.<br>That encounter combined with the sound, atmosphere, and strong HP Lovecraft and The Thing influence made Penumbra one of my favourite game series ever. Even if it may never be officially continued, I was so happy to see a number of Penumbra&apos;s ideas reintroduced in Amnesia: The Bunker.
