Spoil the ending for me.

JoeTheDestroyer's Alone K.W. review
So there's two twists in this game. I only mention the first one because it kinda makes the ending worse.
Recap: you're a man named Kevin White, who winds up in Greenland after a shipwreck and finds an abandoned research outpost with plenty of (confusing) dark secrets. Meanwhile, the Penumbra series rolls in its grave.
You find a document that lists the facility staff, with Kevin White among the names. DUN DUN DUN. That's... Improbable? A bit of a strange coincidence?
Never mind that, though, because at the end you find another document that discusses the psychological condition of patient Kevin White. Surprise! None of what you saw really happened and the first twist didn't matter because it was all just a hallucination. You're actually severely mentally ill and institutionalized. The Cabinet of Dr. whom? Shutter what?
The final scenes show Kevin running down a hall full of gurneys and out a door. The last screen reads "He ran away from that place. Or not."
OR NOT? What does that even mean? Either he ran away or he didn't. Was the writer setting up for a sequel? Were they implying his escape was another hallucination? The way its phrased makes it sound as if the writer couldn't decide which ending to run with. We'll never know...
