I dont know if any of you has ever heard or tried any of the three penumbras ,but theyre just awesome.Left me with a great feeling after i finsihed first
episode:Overture and second episode : black plague.
I didnt like the third episode though:requiem.Its just some puzzle shit .its not scary at all and its boring,,frustrating







the things i like about penumbras is the story, physics ,atmosphere,music and that the character you play with is just an ordianary guy(perhaps little nerdish).
He doesnt have any weapons (except in overture you have some melee weapons and fighting is pain in the ass but i think its more scary in black plague that you dont have any weapons.)
He isnt good in fighting so if you see some creature you just better run or hide.

This game is damn scary.Theres no little girls or any of that normal bullshit you can see in horror games these days.

I have never seen a horror game like this i give the whole series 9/10 (9 cuz requiem suckzzz)

I heard this game costs about 5 $ in steam so BUY IT!!!!Or pirate it...like I did.Shhhh!Teehee!

If you decide to play it,tell me what you think.

They are making now new puzzle horror game called Amnesia:Dark ascending or something like that.

Finished the last episode "Requiem" this tuesday.

There were no enemies or horror...But it explained some things...the two endings were cool.Good ending kinda shocking.

But yeah definately recommend this series.Black plague was my favorite.Next up:Amnesia!Yeah i mean the game...



P.S Triple post!!!

I have Ep. 1 installed. It was epic untill I got stuck on a puzzle... It's 3am now, a perfect time to be playing a game like this! Maybe I'll give it another try...

Yeah good luck with it! In what part are you excatly at right now?

Anyways,new gameplay video of Dark descent:

I played it for a while. Turns out that "puzzle" was actually a bug that didn't let me open a hatch I needed to go through, but now that I played it again the bug was gone. Really a spooky game indeed...

Love this game scared the shit out of me everyone should give it a try.
