Publisher's Description
From Frictional Games:
Like all good nightmares, Philip's begins with something all too real--his mother's death. The days following the funeral are characterized by nothing, save for an incessant feeling of abandonment. Until, that is, he receives a letter from a dead man. Philip's father left before he was born, taking his reasons with him. That door leads to more questions, and those questions lead to Greenland. Philip follows the clues--they're all he has left. On leaving the final signs of human civilization behind him, in search of the location mentioned in his father's ambiguous notes, Philip wonders if he's left some part of his humanity behind as well. Soon, that will be the least of his fears.

"Is it a game?"
Version: Penumbra: Overture 1.0.3
Pros
Great, scary, mysterious, creepy, and claustrophobic.
It takes on a new role of survival horrors, causing weapons to be very very very limited. Weapons in the game, wont kill but knock out your opponent for a short time. Story and puzzles are GREAT!Cons
nothing, this is the type of survival horror, true horror fans are looking for,
Summary
I Like Bagels

"Great game... needs a killer graphics card to run well!"
Version: Penumbra: Overture 1.0.3
Pros
This is an awesome game, very atmospheric and spooky...Think of a cross between Silent Hill and Half Life (sorta). A thinking man's FPS Survival Horror, it has heaps of clever environmental and situational puzzles to overcome and plenty of chills...
Cons
Unfortunately you need a killer graphics card to play this game, as it has a butt load of graphical errors and issues (texture and shading issues as well as system lock ups and freezes!) if you don't...
Summary
Very well done, atmospheric, spooky... plenty of clever puzzles and challenges to get the brain ticking. Well set up inventory interface to select and use inventory plus a pretty much pick up and play control method which slightly changes the existing wsad and mouse control method. Well done though... Plenty of tension and suspense (lights going out, strange noises, vision blurr from fear when attacked!) everything about it works really well if you can get it to run smoothly on your PC (forget it on your Laptop unless its set up specifically for games). A great game once you get it rolling... Definately worth downloading.
