| It was originally intended as the first episode of a trilogy.However, during the announcement of the second episode Penumbra: Black Plague, it was stated that it will also be the final.After receiving a mysterious letter from his supposedly dead father, Philip follows a series of clues that lead him to Greenland.The harsh cold forces him to take shelter in an abandoned mine.Red promises that if he is found, he will give Philip answers.The game follows Philip as he descends deeper into the mines in search of Red while unraveling the secrets of the mine's previous and current inhabitants.Abandoned outposts and various scattered papers found throughout the mine indicate that a secret society is studying some unusual phenomena inside the mines.There are no firearms in the game, so during combat the player is limited to improvised melee fighting with a pickaxe, or throwing objects at attacking creatures.The game's main focus is on exploration and classic adventure game object interaction: examining and collecting objects and using them to solve puzzles.Release

"Penumbra Group created a learning experience for our hiring managers that they never had before.The Penumbra facilitators transformed the group's attitude from "why am I here wasting my day" to, "WOW, that was fantastic and I wish I had had this 15 years ago".Id + " Link: " + targetLink.The protagonist finds himself in an underground base searching for his lost father.With a 3D engine built from the ground up by the game's developers, you'll feel the tension as you skulk down dark hallways in search of your father with your flashlight drawn, wondering what will jump out at you next.Penumbra's excellent physics make items react and move in a realistic way.On our initial run the game crashed once, but we were able to get up and running after that.Pros: The puzzles in this game are very hard.The story is ok, could've been better dialogue, but I'll give it credit ;).Luckily you can change the settings while in game until you get the right settings.Sometimes complicated on how to do something (as in equip an item and use it correctly without messing up).Or wether the item is no equip and just use.Pros: Frictional Games deserves a bigger budget for their talent.This game is scary and fun and at the same I didn't put it down.Cons: The controls are a little funky but heck I can't complain.This is the BEST indie horror game I have ever played.Was this review helpful?This isn't another fps..First person horror game.You interact with the world..If you like horror adventure games, I really suggest you download this game.However, I think they will finish the game...Was this review helpful?Was this review helpful?However, when I manually changed my display settings to 800 x 600 before loading game, it worked fine.Was this review helpful?You must be 13 years of age or older to submit personal information
