What the Heck's wrong with Requiem?

[Kedjane]

I feel I must speak up on the behalf of Requiem.

Yes, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of story of Requiem, and the lack of closure. But I still think that the atmosphere is great and the puzzles are fun and challenging. The fact that it is isn´t a horror game doesn´t bother me.

But why did they do it? Was what the motivation? You don't just make a game for no reason, especially not when you're as small as Frictional Games are.
It didn't add much to the Penumbra universe, didn't follow up the plot, didn't give us any clues, wasn't awfully entertaining and didn't do anything new. I don't understand why it's called Penumbra (other than to make Penumbra O/BP fans buy it) and I don't understand why they did it.
