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].

:when you talk to brian on the phone and he says you killed me you say I know, when he says he wants to hurt you say I am sorry, that is enough repenting
Gamer007
:me three!!!
Liz
:OK this is sucking.
Pris
:this lil gem from hell had sooo much potential .... man .. all that fuss for a page that said the end .. youve completed the bad/good ending ....
wow!
i guess by the time you get to making the end of the game you get pretty tired .... and just dont care? ..... wow ... i could have been studying .... man i feel like a dunce cap!
Liz
:What the hell are supposed to say to the clerk?
Lvcshell
:what do you do with the circut thing, how do you use the hair?
Gamer007
:Seriously read the comments before you just post questions that have been answered already. Its makes those of us who post hints and spoilers waste our time repeating our selves because you are two lazy to look up the answer!!!!
Laverne
:Me: Hello.
Him: You'd greet me better if you knew who I was.
Whaaa? *stuck*
Gamer007
:I know this sounds weak, but I didnt put a period on the end
also each time you mess up the convo you have to start over
Lvcshell
:i read the posts, i can get them all white, but not all black.... i have been reading and working on this for hours...got the pentagram now can turn the circut black...
Gamer007
:he didnt say to turn them all black, he said to get all the black ones to the one side, the OTHER side. once they are all on the left pull the lever. I already told you exactly what to click
Laverne
:What? This isn't fair- I said sorry to Brian but he waves me off to some city of Dis or whatever it is. :/
Lvcshell
:sorry, i had done that but i needed to click the switch twice, to open shutter booth, thanks
Gamer007
:what did brian say to you? did he say he would wait to seek revenge or did he say something along the lines of I forgive you?
Laverne
:He said he reluctantly forgave me.
Debra
:To me, he said that he wanted revenge, and then he said that he forgave me and that I didn't deserve the same fate as him. Then he told me where the photos were. I can't figure out what sins to confess, I tried murder and betrayal.
Pris
:ok so what do you say to the clerk when he tells you to confess your sins?
Pris
:yeah same here .. i also tried .. i killed brian ... i killed brian pent .... i killed my best friend ... but none of those work!!!!
Laverne
:Yeah, that's what he said- but the clerk just told me to go to hell. >.<
Just finished
:The ending depends on what u say to the man looking 4 his wife.
eg. if u say she’s in hell=bad or if the baby is in hell also
Booth man
-say hi ect
-then purgatory
Depending if u have been forgiven by Brian and told the man that his wife is in heaven (else u get the bad ending) then u have to answer what sins
The sins relate to the seven sins of the church (pentagram) so they are wrath and envy then u get the good ending.
Laverne
:Aha! You have to tell the man she is innocent. :3
Laverne
:Yay. I went to heaven.
...So, on an unrelated topic... why did Lazylaces' background change?
[I'll bet that _someone_ got bored, ne?]]
NORM
:323 YES :)
Norway
:Hi. Can anybody help me with the clerk? Don`t know the answer to: you would greet me better if you knew who I was................
Laverne
:Norway- turn around, go back to face the clerk, and type hello without any capitalization or punctuation.
325, ftw...?
Graeme
:Laverne: The background changed as I fancied something new!
Boogeyman
:The hints make sense after reading the books. You have to realize that mammon or whatever his name is is the second seat of hell and work your way out from there. Since he is seated below satan, then he is directly at the bottom. then you have to figure it out for yourself there. This game would be impossible if you didn't take notes throughout.
Rt
:hahaha i beat it
Laverne
:I win! I win! I said that Graeme got bored!
Now gimme my million dollah prize now. >.<
CJ
:Why can't I ask that guy about his wife?
Liz
:OK well after driving myself crazy for hours yesterday, I can't even finish the game. Everytime the clerk asks me to confess my sins the program won't respond. Oh Well I guess I'll never get to see the ending.
RP
:Paul, that was a pretty good game. Great mood and theme, just as creepy as we like it :) I liked the way you let the user type words, instead of proposing a multiple choice. It worked very well. And the way you had to work the information you got. The idea of two different endings was nice too.
The only bad thing was the pentagram. The instructions weren't clear enough and the "time goes backwards" threw me off. When there are so many possible combinations, you should be precise in your clues, and at least not throw red herrings, so that I don't try 20 combinations for nothing ;P
About the short endings, sure there could be more than a few words, but the same could be said of a lot of point-n-click games. That doesn't bother me terribly since I think the goal is to play the game, not to see a pretty ending. A little more story is always nice, but not a necessity.
I enjoyed playing the game, except for that pentagram part, especially since I had basically the right combination, only counterclockwise. I gotta say I ended up in hell on my first game :D
CJ
:Can somebody post a walkthrough for this?
Laverne
:CJ- Have you pressed the white button [same room as the pentagram] and answered backwards,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
fishing at lake with brian, then yes, then where is the wife.
After that you can go back to the man and tell him, 'she's in heaven' and 'she is innocent.'
[Note: that she's innocent is VERY important. Don't just answer with a yes or no.]
Gillian
:I've got the lights in the right place on the circuit breaker. Does anyone know where the cable is to fix the broken one?
Gillian
:ok I completed the bad ending!
CHAR
:Can some1 just PLEASE do a flipping walkthrough...im 100% stuck, and even reading all your posts doesn't help! I got the trophy, contract, finger, knife and porn...but cant find the money or photos..also, i typed fishing in the box asking to "describe your childhood memories" and nothing happened!! please do a walkthrough some1....not 2 cheat, but so i can get past the bit i'm stuck on, so that i can continue on my own!!
5oul
:that's not a very good ending ..?
Gillian
:Ok, Iplayed again just to see the good ending.
Ash
:Look through the posts... or search them. Everything you need to get both endings is here. Great game, by the way.
RP
:CHAR:
The photos are on the side of the phone. You can only take them after the phone conversation.
The husband gives you the money when you tell him about his wife. For that you need to describe your childhood memories in the box: type "fishing" backwards ("gnihsif") then answer yes (backwards) then ask about the wife (still backwards). Then go tell the husband. He'll give you the money.
Panick
:Actually, if you say she didnt kill the baby, that will also grant you a good ending.
Hrm827
:i need a fricken walk through!
K
:So to summarise a bit of a walkthrough (which probably won't be all that great - please help out by editing this, there are just too many posts to get it all down)
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
Firstly, the premise of the game is that you are stuck in a mysterious train station "hell". You piece together why you are there and how to get out by clicking on various items. There are four rooms, plus a bathroom, and two or three hallway scenes (such as the telephone, the help desk, the power grid).
You need to collect seven items that correspond to the seven deadly sins.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
They are:
Chewed fingers (in room 2, the tunnel, up on the right hand side beside a light fitting),
Porn (in the male bathroom trashcan),
Money (you get this off the crying man in room 4 by going to the board in room 1 (where there is a bench and a pentacle/star) and pressing the button. A series of questions will come up written backwards; you need to answer them in backwards spelling too -"gnihsif" for your childhood memories, then "sey" then "efiw eht si erehw" Once you have the answers, go back to the crying man, tell him his wife is in heaven and "no" she did not murder their baby. He will give you the money.)
Trophy (found in room 3, in the rafters above all the books)
Photos (to get these you have to complete a mini-puzzle. Firstly, go to the room with the pentacle and search on the ground under the bench for the spare change. Then take the spare change into the hallway, turn around to face the rest of the hallway, and you'll see a small bin on the right. Click on it to get a mobile phone, and enter the pin code "3941" into the phone (type it) then press the enter button immediately below the screen (I don't know how we know that code, but I got it from the posts above). Then you search for "brian" and it will give you his phone number, 0429783521. The mobile is out of credit, so you have to use the wall phone (turn around) instead. To do this, click on the receiver, then click on the small button up the top of the phone to put in your spare change. Then enter the numbers by clicking on them (it's a bit fiddly), and if you enter them correctly, it will dial and you will be speaking to - gasp - your dead friend Brian. Tell him you know he's dead, and then tell him you are sorry. He will forgive you and then inform you of some photos that he'll leave for you. Hang up, and click under the phone slightly to the right (press Tab if you can't find the spot and it will be highlighted). Tada, you'll have the photos!)
Knife (click on a panel in the ceiling in the hallway facing rooms one and two - a head will fall out and you'll get the knife from its mouth.)
Contract (on the ceiling of the hallway viewpoint from where you can see the information booth and the power grid).
Once you have all seven items (fingers, porn, money, trophy, photos, knife, contract), go back to the room with the pentacle. If you click on the apices of the star, where the symbols are, you will notice a pop-up circle of the items you have collected. Select an item for each of the symbols as follows:
from the very bottom of the outside going clockwise
money, porn, finger, photos, contract
then in the centre, top-trophy, bottom-knife.
This will result in you being given some of satan's hair. Take it to the power grid (in the hallway) and click on the broken wiring between the top left box and the puzzle box. This should connect the circuit.
Then you have to solve the puzzle. The basic aim of this is to get all the white symbols on the left hand side by figuring out the order in which to click the arrows. I did this by guesswork and logic but I wasn't planning on writing a walkthrough at that point, so I don't remember, sorry. Just click around, and have a search through the above posts - there may be an answer somewhere!
Once you've solved the puzzle, pull the switch down, and a box will come up telling you you are able to go to the information desk. Tell the man there "hello" "purgatory" and "envy and wrath" in response to his questions, and he will tell you you are going to heaven (there is also an alternative ending where you go to hell, but I didn't complete that version so I don't know how to get it. I think you have to say different things to Brian on the phone).
Then go to the ticket point, where the gates are, and hurrah, you go to heaven.
(Incidentally, the books on the ground don't need to be read to complete any puzzles, and neither does the map of all the stations on the wall).
And that's the end. Please add whatever I missed and many many thanks to all the patient and enthusiastic people who have already posted here and helped the rest of us out!
Cheerio,
K
Awesome
:power puzzel

:in k's walkthrough he didnt say how to get the ph pin
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
lie to the man on plat 4 eg: say his wife is in hell and or that his wife killed his baby/ or when talking to brian u dont say sorry/forgive anything else seams to get u an automatic 'i want revenge'.
