About Penumbra: Black Plague & Overture
Penumbra is a first person adventure game which focuses on story,   
immersion and puzzles. Instead of using violence to progress the  
player has to use his/her wits to guide Philip on his quest to unravel  
the past.

Played from a first person viewpoint, Penumbra is very different from  
other adventure games. Not only is it powered by a 3D engine utilising  
cutting edge technology, it also has an advanced physics system which  
allow for a never before seen environment interaction. The player can  
open drawers, pull levers, pick up objects and more using natural  
mouse movements creating a highly interactive and dynamic game world.

Penumbra will keep players on the edge as they have to explore scary  
and atmospheric environments never knowing what is behind the next  
corner. The world  is detailed, graphical as well as a story wise  
making the player feel part of the world as secrets are uncovered.
