I noticed that in Requiem you have a portal to go thru (at least the first part) and that reminded me of...
. What do you guys/girls think?

I took a few screenshots with steam...


Note: I am still playing Penumbra but Amnesia I have beaten

**if you are going to type a spoiler use the button that's what it is there for**

I think men from Mayfair apparently have some kind of inexplicable affinity for portals and glowing orbs, obviously.

^lol I guess so. Do you think FG got the idea from Requiem and figured why not bring it back in Amnesia?

I thought that requiem was terrible

^Right now I am playing Requiem and it is more like what the f*ck... no
monsters (so far) now there are bloody portals?! what the f*ck happened?!

A. Requiem is taking place inside Philip's head.

B. I thought Requiem was the best game in the trilogy.

C.You must finish Requiem and connect it to the two earlier games to fully understand it.

I haven't played Requiem yet, but from what I've heard it's just puzzle based, still creepy, but nothing to attack you. Looks great in my opinion, Frictionals puzzles are great.

Yeah, Requiem has great puzzles. And it is also creepy. The Penumbra atmosphere is creepy by default, you don't need monsters or apecial effects. Just the environments are creepy enough to call it horror.
But except the gameplay, I never found something similar to Amnesia.
And in my opinion, Overture is the best game ever made in Frictional universe.
Overture has the best puzzles, the most oppresive atmosphere, the best story and is the most credible game.
Black Plague was the creepiest, but shorter than Overture, less puzzles, incredible story (the parts in minds) then Clarence talking was destroying the gameplay more and more. Great game also, but not as good as Overture.

Penumbra was made before Portal was released - or at least before Amnesia was being brainstormed. Unless... FRICTIONAL HAS A TIME MACHINE!
