Penumbra: Black Plague

Sneaking and hiding

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

Penumbra: Overture

Sneaking and hiding

A first-person survival horror set in a desolate Greenland mine, where you're nearly defenseless and rely on physics-based puzzles and hiding to survive. Its oppressive atmosphere and mouse-driven object interaction define the experience.

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short first-person horror trip where you gather clues through dark forests and abandoned buildings, weaponless, while the Slender Man closes in. Tension comes from darkness, a flickering flashlight and sudden jump scares.
