Penumbra - Lore (Part 1: At the Mines of Madness)

- Episode Notes:
A return to Frictional, the studio that inspired the creation of this channel. Penumbra is the scrappy, film school version of Amnesia: the Dark Descent, and I love it for it. It starts out as by-the-numbers Lovecraft and ends as something wholly unique. I'm so happy to revisit it!
Hope you all enjoy it.

Your donations go a long way, even if it's just a dollar. If enough people give, I might be able to do this full time and get some serious production value in these movies.
A Declaration:
Welcome to the Gameological Dig, a channel devoted to playing games with obtuse and interesting stories. The aim of this channel is to treat these game worlds like an archeological site, meant to be unearthed and studied, so that we may better understand their plots, characters and themes.
Your Soma lore series pushed me to reflect even more on the game’s incredible story, and now again you are reminding me - us of all the depth in frictional games’ stories, all the details a player misses - treating the games as a monumental novel discussed in english class. I wholeheartedly appreciate your narrations and effort put into these series, you deserve all the support, thank you
Chances are pretty good that you won't see this, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your continued work. There are few creators on this website that instil there work with as much thought as you do, breaking down games and literature into it's truest form, it's fundamentals.
You inspire me to continue my own creative hobbies. Thanks again.
I see every comment, cuz I'm an egomaniac who loves praise lol. But seriously, thanks! It's heartening to hear that I can inspire someone to create. I hope to see something by you someday!

What website?
Yes!! Another Frictional Games lore video from you! Do the entire series including Necrologue please.
Might as well do Twilight of the Archaic as well
I am a simple man, I see a notification for Gameological Dig, I click on the video. Then bask in buttery-smooth spoken videogame lore.
I needed something good for a 10-20 minute listen just now. Boom goes my notification. Thanks, Dig!
oh hell yes, excited about this series. love the lore of these games and you present it really well.
Damn did not expect to find you in this comment section. Love your videos and music man!
I will say, Red's death is the most terrifying moment in the whole series of games by Frictional.
Addendum- it stuck in my head because well... I watched full Penumbra playthrough when I was like 13. I learned about Frictional Games through Amnesia- found a review of the game in a stray gaming magazine found in a library or something.
Was a nice watch, but damn Red's death seared in my head
Bruh no wtf
His death is not even the most hitting in the Penumbra series itself...that would be the Dr. Anabel.
At 02:25, you said "squamous beasts", you legend. Great callout to Lovecraft.
Clicked that thumbsup before I even start. This is going to be fantastic.
Yours is one of the few channels that make me genuinely giddy every time you upload. Thank you!
Omg I'm like sooo giddy. God you sound like a gay infant.
@Øbi
Oh look, it's my stalker, showing me how it's wrong to "stalk comment sections", calling people stupid and never noticing his own hypocrisy, even calling others kids, child or in this case "infant" while being a literal minor himself. And let's just throw some homophobia in there too, because you hadn't embarrassed yourself enough already apparently! :D Didn't even notice I was referring to the uploader rather than the game because you were so busy trying to mitigate your butthurt by talking shit. You're adorable. I want to keep you.
HMMMMM THAT'S AN AWFULLY SOYBOY RESPONSE, BUDDY
@Ham Wamson
Oh look, it's my stalker on a different account trying to white knight himself. How not-soyboy of him.
This is the best lore video of any games i've ever watched, you make the story so intriguing!
Gameological Dig, I recently found out about your channel and I was taken aback by how little subscribers you have! You deserve many more with the amount of effort you put into these videos. I hope you keep going and succeed.
I just love these videos.
Another fantastic narration. Can't wait to watch the next part.
Can we get this man to 1 million subscribers?!!
Your videos are a masterpiece! Please continue to make them. I saw all of the soma episodes at work. You got a new subscriber! Best of luck and live long and prosper :D !!!!
AHHHHHHH SHIIIIITTTT NEW VIDEO! I Don’t even care about this game but you know im watching it and you know its going to be interesting
If you haven't already, you should buy the whole Penumbra trilogy. You could get it for pocket change these days, and they are groundbreaking in the genre.

Jonathan Burke im too much of a coward to play horror games lol
Just finished the first game thanks to you, started on soma, loved this too. Thanks
God I love this game and it makes me so happy to see someone making new content for it, especially after a bad day
Listening to your videos while taking solitary walks is almost a transcendental experience. 😌
Oh my god the story finally explained so well and in great details. Great great video!
Been a huge fan of your work since I first saw your soma vids , I saw you started the penumbra episode my hype went through the roof , waiting for that glorious notification on episode 2 :D
I discovered this gem of a channel due to your amazing SOMA series (which are to date still the best SOMA related video's on YT) and just had to sub after that. And while i haven't watched all your other stuff yet i'll allways check out anything frictional related. They're true masters of storytelling and you're the perfect guy to analyse it! I hope you'll eventually cover all frictional's titles (i'm especially fond of a machine for pigs story and obviously SOMA)! Keep it up :)
You never fail to impress with these bro. Been a fan since your SOMA videos! 🙌🏼
I love your content so so much. It's of such high quality.
I was waiting for this ! Thanks!!!!
Watched you awhile ago for your SOMA series. Was beyond hyped when I randomly searched this games story covered by you!
Glad you are posting again man. Thank you!
Loved the soma Commentary look forward to your next work which includes this
Finally a channel that properly explains the lore of this game
New sub here! I dig your presentation: very relaxing and on more esoteric lore!
Your Soma work had me hooked. Its great to have you back with another series!
How many parts can we expect?
One more episode on the Shelter!
Just found out your channel, and I'm lovin' it :)
You earned another subscriber!
How in the world does this not have more views? Your work on this and Soma is inspirational. Quality content that is being criminally underappreciated. Subscribed.
I love your content so much. The way you talk makes it so much more intriguing. Keep it up!
Don’t tell me this guy gave up, such great videos and he has been gone for a while now
Tony Juarez Haha, literally working on the next episode rn! The holidays were a very busy time. Rest assured, the final episode will happen this month, I promise!
Gameological Dig yay thank you and hope your channel grows well, I’m happy someone finally goes over the lore or complex or obscure horror games instead of giving a lazy explanation, really happy I found this channel and I’m surprised someone this good doesn’t have more subs
This channel is criminally underrated.
Excellent! Looking forward to the next one. :)
My god i just downloaded SOMA and i thought about your videos about it and i wanted to watch then but when i saw this video i said:"SOMA can wait"
Very nice work man, can't wait for part 2.
So nice that you came back to this game.
Wow so glad you're giving this game love, this and black plague have a story that I somehow admire more than Amnesia and SOMA.
Love your work and I'm looking forward to the next part.
HOW HAS IT BEEN A YEAR ALREADY?
I vividly remember discovering this channel with the first Penumbra video, binging the rest and waiting for this one.
And it has been a.....
😐
Your vids are the best.
I have a rating for this video... But it'll have to wait for the next part.
Great job
10:42 my theory is that is the doctor being attacked and dragged away by one of those dogs or things from Black Plague. I think red was also infected or one of the messed up ones and that’s why he wanted to die or that maybe he wasnt a normal human or maybe he had paranoid schizophrenia or was mentally ill like the other workers.
OH BOY! This is gonna be a good series!
wow such amazing narration!!!
This was actually really good!
finally a new series..!
YES
I have never even heard of this game but I’ll take anytime to listen your hard work on a video. And this game looks interesting. Took horrifying for me to play, mind you, but interesting. Lol.
If you haven't already, you should buy the whole Penumbra trilogy. You could get it for pocket change these days, and they are groundbreaking in the genre.

I know it's not at the same level as others but you should do a series on Little Nightmares! I loved that game.
I saw someone recommended your channel after I finished SOMA late last night. Great stuff👍👍
So many people forget about this game when they talk about Frictional. People bable about Amnesia. Yeah, it had tech and scares, but Penumbra had better story. Good that SOMA has... Both, in a way
What the fuck. I subbed you with the bell, yet I never got notified of this one!
Well, better late than never.
this game is my childhood!
Nice
Kinda theory- I think that cave in which stopped Spider Hater from returning ro Shelter facility was the same Red caused to kill "The diseased ones"
Thank you for this ❤️
Do you plan for full on analysis of the games after that ? Do you also plan to take a look at the sequel mods, necrologue archaic and i think 2 more.? They are quite good . In par with the base game or above. I d be happily to see a full on analysis series of penumbra full with lore and games. All in depth
Your content is beyond amazing! Ever consider doing a dig on that Blair Witch game?
I hope you consider looking at the Remedyverse with Alan Wake 2 just a couple weeks away.
Awesome
It kinda sounds like Red yells turn it off as he burns its very creppy
You have a beautiful and a soothing voice imo maybe you should do some audio books
Hey are you alright? it has been 3 years
Please do Amnesia. All of them.
YESYEYSYES
I notice you haven't posted In a while. Have you been caught up with life or is youtube not getting you the funds you need? If you open a patreon I'd gladly support you =D
why does this say this is from amnesia
It doesn't anymore
Because it's from Frictional Games, the same developer who made Amnesia
Penumbra > Amnesia any day for me.
hell yeah bitch
This game looks like shit but nice video
I mean it’s pretty old so.
Persona Tardus?
That's a pretty damn insensitive name to use...
It's now more acceptable to use the more compassionate speech , such as "Persona mentally challenged..us"...
