penumbra SOOOO reminds me of that THE THING movie.... lol

[ZemplinTemplar]

@kadesibert The devs have hinted at the Carpenter version as one of their sources of inspiration. ;-) The kennels in Black Plague are pretty much one big love letter to the movie's kennel scenes...

Music like this is why more often then not Black Plague made me scream and turn the game off.

[XxXMegaXManXxX]

The scariest part of the OST was at 0:14...

[SBmasta441]

"There seems to be something behind that door"

*Walk past slowly*

"CRASH"

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

[Shockman458]

"YOU THERE."

[minecraftwwadlol]

For me this was way more scarier than Amnesia.

@verizonfios10 The yellow liquid is supposed to be its saliva, called " tampter" in the game. It usually appears when the kaernk is feasting on some flesh. The "killing" is nonsense, though. Kaernks have no model, so they don't have a death animation. If you throw an object at where its feet should be, sometimes the kaernk glitches up and vanishes. You are not supposed to be able to kill it, but you can surely get rid of it.

@paddymoep well daniel can kill a kaernk ike a turrngait it just takes time if you keep bashing it with things it dies you can tell when you see yellow liquid where it was sanding

@ORTmusic So Sub-Zero is based on 100 different Effing OST's? No.

[anythreeletters]

@MikuMech I agree. The "Danger is near" music in Black Plague was much more intimidating than in Overture.

[Lucap1000]

That weird sound at 0:14 it's pratically the Infected theme.

[T0mFrame]

Hearing this music and the infecteds walk right outside...
