Something in Penumbra that went missing in Amnesia

I think not. It's more immersing when you can read something about objects.
Penumbra did it great. Amnesia feels too empty. there's less to explore.

I think you should offer a course: "Three easy step becoming a online bigot (free horrible english grammar course included with a order over 200$)"

I was actually expecting that on some parts of Penumbra like the sewers in Black Plague. Or spider tunnels in Overture. They are screaming for that creepyness.
I hope next Amnesia would have this... HINT HINT

Cry of Fear (A HL1 mod) has this, puts you on the edge of your seat CONSTANTLY during that bit.

Oh gods, I started freaking out when *low battery* flashed on the phone

Agreed on both points, flares were sometimes great because they covered more radius than the glowstick, but they were pretty ineffective.
Cry of Fear had you panicking, just hoping that around that corner there was another flare so you wouldn't be left in the dark.
