Hey Everybody! I have just released my new electronic album “Sub-Zero” which is heavily inspired by the world and music of the Penumbra games. If you're interested you can listen to the full album on my youtube channel, as well as download the album for free!
This game looks pretty good, played through amnesia and was thoroughly impressed, hope this game can match up to it, cause amnesia was by far one of the best games i have ever played
Playing this with headphones on, at night, with the lights off makes this 1,000,000x scarier. It's also a good choice if you don't have a problem with changing your pants every minute. Overall, great game! The physics were amazing, and the graphics were great too. Had me on the edge of my seat just 5 minutes into the game.
This company is my favorite company ever, these games that you guys make are the fucking best! I watch horror movies and play horror games and am not really even the slightest bit scared, but all of these games are terrifying! AMAZING JOB
In penumbra overture, to kill the dogs simply find a barrel or box and jump onto it, the dog cannot touch you there, from that box; proceed to swing at it a weapon of your choice.
if the dog runs away hit the wall to grab its attention.
The combat mechanics take a fair bit of getting used to and, at best, are unintuitive. However, the protagonist is introduced as more of a book-basher than monster slayer, so the difficult combat dynamics actually reflect this quite well, and add much to the sence of vulnerability - and thus, the fear.
Also this inspires the player to think when encountering nasties - use your brain to deal with them, instead of your pick axe (or broom)!
this game is awesome.. just.. awesome!!! since i am a huge fan of firts-person games i really lied this :D it's got a big chunk of SH in it, but it is also a puzzle solving game! a must have ;) it's just too bad i lost mine :/
Yeah, what Penumbra does really well is actually being scary. Unfortunately, most horror games think lots of blood and gore spraying all over the screen = scary -- it isn't.
Penumbra does it right. It's all about what you CAN'T see. The imagination creates far more frightening things than a game designer ever could.
Also most modern games rely on horror house scares where monsters jump out at scripted moments. This is cool the first time but then it just becomes predictable.
The world needs more games that rely on atmosphere rather then gore and one times scares.
I'd say its on par with Silent Hill. Though I'm not 100% sure just yet. The physics controls may irritate some too since you have to swing/pull your mouse to get things open or operate them. If you like that kinda thing, then get it! If you're not sure though, then try the demo.
wat a flippin awesome game! i have played the demo and loved it. I have a mac with windows partition but am only going to buy it when it comes out on mac! i cant wati!!!
buenisiimo juego...

Really good game, very immersive and atmospheric.
