About this game

Penumbra:Overture is a first person survival horror game, emphasizing on survival and problem solving instead of mindless violence and gore.

Played from a first person perspective and powered by a 3D engine utilising cutting edge technology, Penumbra is a substantial advancement of the genre.

The world is detailed both in terms of graphical fidelity and narrative character - Penumbra is a horrific experience that will grip players from its opening thrills to its chilling denouement.
