Some flaws...

[C-zom]

The greatest horrors are the ones you can't see. Its obviously Frisk, and Penumbra doesn't NEED jump scares to get the atmosphere. Did you even *look* down that hallway when the lights were off? It took me ten minutes to muster the strength to even try to walk down it. Penumbra's horror comes from the atmosphere, not the monsters...

I've got to agree with you here. However, everything you see can be a lie at times. What Clarence wants you to believe is a monster coming to kill you could be Amabell trying to give you a hug. "If you free me, I'll give you the biggest hug of your life."

(I'm sure that referenced something that was *not* a hug, but bare with me. )

This sounds like a gameplay glitch to me, did you patch up? I've never run into this problem and did reconstruct that scenario today. Doesn't happen for me.
