Penumbra Black Plague OST - Main Theme

Composed by Mikko Tarmia.

NOTE : Some videos from this playlist contain a compilation of several similiarly themed ambient tracks of the OST, combined together into one longer piece of music. The names given are unofficial and are meant to describe their use in the games.

DESCRIPTION : The intro music of Black Plague, the sequel to Overture. Plays while you're in the main menu. Unlike Overture's theme, which is melancholic, BP's is more sinister and nightmarish, mirroring Philip's slow descend into questions regarding his own sanity.

Man, this track isn't even scary. Well, okay yeah it is but not in the traditional sense.

In my opinion, it's simply just depressing. It lets you know right off the bat that this is a story that in all likelihood will not have a happy ending. I haven't even beat the game yet, and as much as I hate to think it, I doubt this great-but-terrible game will have a happy ending.

It's pretty hard to when basically your story is about a man who keeps simply digging his grave deeper and deeper.

Overture or Black Plague? I'm still doing Overture, will move to Black Plague soon.

And in the end, no matter how do you feel after finishing the game you still realize that this is an epic creaton in all ways that sould be in a magicly brilliant video game from an Indie game creator, considering the fact that there budget is very limited. This theme is not scary, yes it isnt, but its purpose all in all is to sum up the pulsing drama developed by the game and to serve it to the player and the listener in a one obvious 2 minute 19 second song format.

It makes me sad :(

[NovacekDaniel]

[MrCrazyian123]

Hey, This is just a more messed up version of Penumbra Overture Theme.

[Mephiles55510]

it does have the mysterious feeling and i think this best suites the game. i can feel the depression and gloom inside the game's story and this song. The Penumbra Series were excellent 5/5
