Hmmmm.... black and white graphics, funeral music, and a rapidly expanding collection of body parts. Combined with the fact that it's called "Penance", you know that there's something deeply wrong in this little point'n'click adventure [subbed and created by Paul W].

:I got it...and completed both endings...woo hoo...thanks for the posts!
Heathkliff
:This was just anoying, and a breach with nearly ewerything i know about hell. Dante would be turning in the grave, or just start hunting the designer.
Kittie
:So Heathkliff whats diff from inferno to this game?
also givin that dante had a 'vision' lol and went 4 a walk with an angel.
I agree with tessa and others that its a nice modern take on the inferno, the station should realy b a hill but thats no fun, and this game was fun.
Twinky
:I've been through ALL of the posts, and I've done everything they say. But for some reason, the game won't let me talk to the crying guy. I've been back to the backwards-talking box god only knows how many times, and still nothing! Anyone else have the same problem?
Mystery
:NOPE.but it's not essential to talk to the guy.
Twinky
:Ok, if it's not essential to talk to him, then how do I get the money?
_rP
:It is essential to talk to him. Here's how you do it:
- Go to room 4, click on the guy. He will tell you about his wife and baby, and ask you to help him.
- Go to room 1, click on the talking box and speak backwards. Hint: read what it says!
First, it asks: "describe your childhood memories". Type "gnihsif".
If it says "describe memories", it means that it didn't understand. Try again and check your spelling. It will keep saying that until you get it right.
Then it asks: "sell them to us" Type "sey".
If you mess up, it goes back to "describe memories", if you answer "on", it says "sell and you may ask a question" Just say "sey" goddammit.
Then it says "you may ask a question". Type "efiw"
If you mess up, it will say "ask again". Try again and check your spelling.
When you get it right, it will say "the wife did not kill the baby and thus they are both in heaven". Click on close (that's important)
You're then done with that talking box.
- Go back to the guy. He will ask where his wife is. Answer "heaven". He will ask if she killed the baby, answer no. He'll give you the money.

:I have figured out the circuit breaker combination, It says i need a wire, Any know where it is?
Nick
:Sorry guys, I messed up the combination now, I am sure i will get it again
Baby devil
:man thank god for cheats i no im a bad girl for cheating i just could not figer it out given the fact the pentagram was draw the wrong way how could they draw it the wrong way but the hardest part was the languish thing the button near the bench man i dont no how people could have throuth of these games they must be a murder or something scary like that
but i did do it and cheating is the best y not to say to cheat it just help when u do
Kittie
:Baby devil woo ur retarded by spella gooding!
Amanda
:i caint get the photos and what is the circut brackers
Mocosa
:when brain says he wants revenge say that u r sry
Harmonie
:I know this sounds stupid, but i need help. when i type a response to describe my childhood memories, nothing happens.at all. i typed in gnihsif and the question didnt change. what am i supposed to do after i type something in? i also couldnt respond to brian.
Anne
:I have done everything. When talking to the Clerk, I say "Hello." He says, "You would greet me better if you knew who I was." I type, "Purgatory." Nothing happens. I have written what I typed in the game EXACTLY as I have typed it in the game. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do? Thank you.
Hamiam
:The circuit breaker puzzle is cake...just mess with it until the dots line up, all black on the right. However it is not supposed to be solved until [i]after[/i] the pentagram.
Hamiam
:How would you greet a person Anne? If someone were to say "Hello" to you, would you return it by saying "purgatory"?
Noogles
:Damn! Purgatory is a train station, Remind me never to die.
Rachel
:yes i done the circuit breaker! boy that took forever!
Sir Real
:I want to give a big thanks to Paul - soooo much work here, rather atmospheric, and rich grounding/adaptation of the Dante and the mythologies of afterlife. Finding the items was hard but not-too-hard, I think... but :)
yah, that Pentagram was a tad too horrific to figure. Also, if one has to type in responses, I suggest allowing a wider range of acceptable answers - at least allow a different order of words, or different tenses!
many many thanks, this is an impressive first effort!
Anne
:Well, it worked this time. For some reason he said different things. Huzzah, to heaven I go! *Flies off*
Caiti&Alie
:It wont let me talk to brian, he just says "killed me" and when I try to say something it just says "YOU-caps don't work in this place" and then I click "enter" and brian says "answer me friend..best buddy..they all hunger for you down here"
whats going on?
Ebony Angel
:I'd like to point out the game is forever saying capitals don't work here. I'm assuming if you put anything with a capital it wont recognise it.
Coolers
:yes u cant use capitals or the game wont recognise ur answer, and a big error comes up saying "you-capitals dont work in this place".
Kornyfriedhamhawks
:I have satans hair,i got demoned,made well with brian and sad man,read everything,did all that was available,but i CANT FIND THE FRIKIN CIRCUT BREAKER!
.....
Does anyone else have this problem or am i just a pathetic moron?
When people say hallway, is it the hallway you step into after you finish the pentagram?
Or is it someplace else? I cant find ANYTHING that even resembles a circut breaker.
GRRRR
:kornyfriedhamhawks:
its in the same scene where you got the contract on the right side by the information sign. but i ask you.. where did you find the satans hair?? i cant find it
Metal_mickey
:haha...i saw the shadow and stopped playing the game...freaked me out...
Allypally
:hey ive looked around the phone and theres nothing no photos watsoever HELP ME plz??!?!?
Alex
:Allypally there are on the side. But you have to talk to Brian first.
I finished the game and went to heaven. But I hated this game. It's so boooring
Mike
:Ahhh this game is really mind-boggling...must....solve.....item placement!

:WOW Awesome Game! Great teamwork. Couldn't have been done on my own....Not in a timely fashion anyway.
Antisheep
:Was so good. Was almost upset that i got the good ending. It was a bitch of a point and click, but all worth it in the end. The only thing i outright cheated on was the pin. But now that i know it's so bleedingly obvious. I know that if i had just found out that i had commited suicide after screwing my friend over i'd look into a toilet bowl for some very seedy looking Cocaine.
Anyhow, i thought that the only criticism is that the text responses were too narrow. I even didn't think that the pentagram was too bad, I just wish they had at least shown us the starting point. Anyway... Good game, might play it again and go to Hell with the Heretics.
Cheers to the creator!
Ntwiles
:Did anyone notice that this is about the book "Inferno"?
Jason
:omfg this was stupid 2hrs for the gayest ending ever so dumb
Franklin
:Where can i find the cheats
Mandy
:My creeped-out level is pretty low normally, but this spooked me like crazy! GREAT game!
Sai
:Ok,, I am a bit stuck here.. I did say " Hello", and " Purgatory" but seems nothing happening.. I saw the Anne's comment and she got the same problem with me but.. I typed all greeting sentence .. Still noting work ... anyone can help???
