Penumbra is a first person horror adventure focusing on story, immersion and puzzle solving. Violence and combat is hardly an option - the player has to use wits to guide Philip through his final test, and this makes the series unique in offering a truly dangerous and terrifying experience.

Just started making let's plays of Overture (about 3 days ago. Here's a link if you wish to watch : Youtube.com)

I would say impressive so far. I played black plague first, now playing overture, I know I shouldn't be doing it that way but stil... I find BP to be scarier, since there you can't fight. This one has very complicated puzzles (equal to BP) and is good as well. I liked the second sequel better, but this is still a very good game :) 10/10
Regards,
Night.

Game does not start on linux: ./penumbra.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfltk.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

this file should be provided by desura (actually it is provided for Amnesia, so it should be provided for penumbra too)
