Just bought Requiem (Minor spoilers) - ZIGS - 08-27-2008
Will play it later today. One thing I noticed though, is how the game's very poorly optimized. I played the first 2 episodes on my old monitor at 1024x768, now with my new 1680x1050 monitor and a geforce 9800GX2, I was appalled to see the framerate drop below 30 in the areas with more light sources.
It doesn't really impact the gameplay though, since this is a slow-paced game and it only happens on some occasions for brief periods of time but I still thought I should mention it

yeah I noticed that too. I played the first two at 1024x768 with max in game settings, 16x AF, and 2x AA and on my system with 8600gt 2 gigs ram and 5000 X2 framerate would dip in 30s quite often. I know the 8600gt is weak but I can get over 100fps in FEAR benchmark with those settings. lol. Yes the Penumbra games run way too slow for the graphics they have.

As far as I played (about 2 hours), no. There was a corpse of a staff member right at the beginning but that's it. The game doesn't follow a storyline like the previous episodes, it just puts you into consecutive areas where you have to solve a puzzle to get to the next one. I am slightly disappointed with the game actually but for just 10€ it's worth it anyway. Plus, puzzle fans will have a blast, since the game is basically that, solving puzzles
