FEATURES

Penumbra is a first person horror adventure focussing on story, immersion and puzzle solving. Violence and combat is hardly an option - the player has to use wits to guide Philip through his final test, and this makes the series unique in offering a truly dangerous and terrifying experience.

Played from a first person perspective and powered by a 3D engine utilising cutting edge technology, Penumbra is a true advancement to the adventure genre. The unique physics system allows for true environmental interaction: The player can open drawers, pull levers, pick up objects and manipulate those objects in 3D space - all using natural mouse movements, creating a highly interactive and immersive game world.

The Penumbra series' central character, Philip, is realistically vulnerable, while enemies are fierce and intelligent. Any object can be picked up and thrown in defence, but the end result might only be to buy some time, or more likely, anger enemies further. Avoiding, outwitting and sneaking past enemies entirely provide the best chance of survival.

Penumbra will put players on edge like never before as they explore bizarre and mysterious environments, the unknown awaiting them behind every corner. The world is detailed both in terms of graphical fidelity and narrative character - The Penumbra Series is a horrific experience that will grip players from its opening thrills to it chilling denouement.

  • Thrilling blend of puzzles and action
  • State of the art interaction system
  • Clever physics puzzles with multiple solutions
  • A creepy and disturbing ambient atmosphere
  • Immersive and thought-provoking story line

Here, Frictional Games gives us a great piece of history in gaming. You follow the character of Philip, who starts a journey to find out about his fathers past. In one of the most under-rated games, you explore many mysteries, using the excellent engined designed by the developers. The game is not a shooter, nor even a fighting game Using a combination of stealth and wit, completing this game and surviving from the un-known horrors of an "abandoned" mine, will require extremely fast wits, the ability to make good, instant decisions, and being really fast at relaying these decision to the the computer. I would recomend that you A) Buy this game B) Turn your monitor down, and all lights down, until you can barely see the screen. C) Put the bass on your speakers up The game isn't a classic horror game, with zombies gutting people, but rather brings the element of suspense to a new level, which will have you scared out of your wits. Another plus about the game, is that it doesn't require a strong engine to run, yet it has decent physics, and good graphics for a game this dated. I completely recommend in every way possible.
