Still guilt-ridden from his actions and angered at his stupidity, he now wants to unravel the secrets of the complex and find out what happened to his father. Having made his way through the deserted mine of the previous instalment, the protagonist, Philip, now finds himself in the abandoned research facility which he discovers in Overture's closing act.
The story continues directly on from Overture, yet it can be played without prior knowledge thanks to a variety of notes and computer entries which gradually fill you in on the more complex back-story. Thankfully, Black Plague learns from these mistakes and is greatly improved, proving to be an unusual and entertaining experience.
However, the game had some fiddly combat, repetitive locations and an unsatisfying ending. Penumbra: Overture was a cleverly crafted survival horror title and a welcome addition to an under-populated genre. Reviews // 5th Mar 2009 - 13 years ago // By Christopher Wakefield Penumbra: Black Plague
