I hope you're not serious dude...
After all it's a game not based on any truth and im 100% sure there would be nothing of
interest there at the real location.

Yeah, I'm sure they gave those corrdinance in knowing that they're safe, being nothing is there.
If a game gave off some coordinance to some secret place, and we find in real life it's "McDonalds", that may be silly/bad on their part.
They'd figure it was a safe place; just a bunch of snow.
The ending to me isn't too confusing. I played it a second time, and this is how I took it:
"I promised the hive that I would contact someone I could trust, that I would have them destroy all evidence of this place, just as my father had promised himself. I, however, will not make the same mistakes my father made - you now understand the truth of the events that lead me here, and the imeasurable importance of my words. Armed with this knowledge, you must have the strength to do that which I could not.
I promised I would send this email to you. I promised I would ask that you keep all humans from this place - for the sake of the Tuurngait, and for the human race. I lied."
One thing to take note - "I would have them destroy all evidence of this place, just as my father had promised himself. I, however, will not make the same mistakes my father made."
His father promised to destroy the evidence, but Philip says, I however, will not make the same mistakes my father made. thus it sounds like Philip will not do that, but rather kill off the plague and the tuurngait.
Also, he states that he promises to keep all humans from entering the shelter. then he adds, he lied. Finally, he states,
"Kill them."
"Kill them all."
So he lied about keeping the humans from entering the shelter. Thus it sounds lile Philip just wants the humans to go and kill them. Thus is probably why he added the coordinance to the place.
It's what I believe anyway

And I think if you find something there, you can't really expect a rescue party. At least not one that includes me. Just FYI

Haha, I was joking. I'm not going there.

No one knows, but most likely they will since HPL2 will have the same minimum requirements as HPL1.
And it would be very stupid for them to discontinue making horror games; most people have been generally scared by this game.

Waaaiitttt a second...
The poll shows that Jens voted in the poll - and it was "Maybe so", not "No".
Jens: How the heck can you be possibly confused? Weren't you one of the devs?

He wasn't writing the story... I think it that way.

Luckily for Jens, he has direct access to the writer(s). Though, maybe they would withhold info just to be coy.
