Penumbra: Overture Will Soon Scare Gamers Everywhere

Our good friends over at Adventure Gamers have made an announcement that the new horror/thriller adventure game, Penumbra: Overture has been released to the public for your frightening pleasure. In case you’ve forgotten what the games about, here’s a little snippet of the game’s story:

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.

Now, Philip needs your help. He’s found an inexplicable metal hatch, in the middle of a frozen wasteland. Inside, is something yet more unfathomable.

Step into the unknown.

This first game that has been released is only part one of three, so if you enjoy this first game, never fear… more games shall be on there way. You just have to be patient. I know, it’s hard… but it is a virtue after all!

There is a demo of the game over on Penumbra: Overture’s website so make sure you go and check it out. I took a quick look at it and it looks like it’ll be pretty awesome. Hopefully it won’t be as mind numbing as Scratches was, but you never can tell with these horror games.

If you fall in love with the demo, head on over to your local video game store and buy it. You can’t beat the price of $19.99 for a good horror adventure game.
