Penumbra: Black Plague
Penumbra: Black Plague is a first person horror adventure
focusing on story, immersion and puzzle solving. Unlike Penumbra:
Overture, violence and combat are not even an option - the
player has
to use his/her wits to guide Philip through his final test, and this
makes the game unique in offering a truly dangerous and terrifying
experience.
Played from a first person perspective and powered by a 3D engine
utilizing cutting edge technology, Penumbra: Black Plague is a true
advancement to the adventure genre. The unique physics system allows
for true environmental interaction in a way only comparable its
predecessor. The player can open drawers, pull levers, pick up objects
and now manipulate those objects in 3D space - all using natural mouse
movements, creating a highly interactive and immersive game world.
Penumbra: Black Plague is the final chapter and sequel to
Penumbra:
Overture.
