The puzzles are good, not too heavy, not too easy, the graphics are for the years that it now has under his belt also good, especially as I think now that straight games with Older graphics The mood can scare a more goose bumps than some high-end game.
In many ways what is currently on the market takes me the certainty that 90% is scripted much away from the tension.
However, one should necessarily include the successor to Black Plague directly hollow, you have Episode 1 by first, one would love to jump straight into another adventure.
It reminds me of the atmosphere here partly strongly to The Thing from Another World (film)
Or HP Lovecraft's story Mountains of Madness.
The game provides a permanent oppressive atmosphere, and really has moments where you would prefer to look away from the screen, or make it easy or want to flee.
And that's saying something, I myself am so some usual terms the horror division.
Horror and adventure fans will get their costs.
Weapons are here of secondary importance, and that is a good thing, weapons give an increasingly security a bit, but this ,, security '' is in the depths of the mine definitely a foreign word.
The soundtrack is very consistent, it is used a lot of sound effects and the effects can be definitely noticeable while playing, rare, I once had a horror game in which I had to take breaks in between.
The only drawback are cutscenes, the story is carried away via texts, however, was not so bad for myself.
The game can be played also on newer screens in widescreen, this just the appropriate resolution in the Config register.
Penumbra is a horror trip of a special kind.
I hope that one probably will at some point a remake or a new part will appear.
