In 2007, Penumbra Overture came along. It was good. One year later, Penumbra Black Plague came to be. And it was better.
In mid 2007, a game by the name "Penumbra: Overture" came along. And it was good. With its unique gameplay and Lovecraftian story, this small, unfamiliar game managed to rise above mediocrity, and truly shine in the dark... Read Full Review

Penumbra Black Plague sets you on a meld of mind games and puzzle solving with a tender amount of horror thrown in.
Black Plague is a short game, but it's a good game. The basic premise involves you in search for your father in an underground facility, located in Greenland, known as The Shelter. However things have gone bad, an infec... Read Full Review

Apart from some bad AI, this is an excellent game.
First of all, playing Penumbra: Overture first is a MUST! There's just too much of the whole experience that relates back to it that it doesn't work as well alone. Unlike some less impressive horror games, this one d... Read Full Review

SO GOOD I'M WRITING MY FIRST AND PROBABLY LAST REVIEW.
Games for me have always meant entertainment. But for a game to make such an impression on me to write a review about it...? THATS SOMETHING! I don't play games much anymore but, after finding an interest in Penumbra ... Read Full Review

Extremely immersive. Great sound effects and riddles. Try it out, you ought to get scared!
First of all, I haven't completed the game yet. I assume the ending is good, and if that's the case, I will add a half or whole point to the rating. I haven't played Penumbra Overture. Penumbra: Black Plague is a very... Read Full Review
