Frictional Games has released a demo version of Penumbra: Black Plague for Mac, reports Inside Mac Games. The sequel to Penumbra: Overture is due for release next week.
Here’s how the game is described: “Penumbra is a first person adventure game which focuses on story, immersion and puzzles. Instead of using violence to progress the player has to use his/her wits to guide Philip on his quest to unravel the past.
“Played from a first person viewpoint, Penumbra is very different from other adventure games. Not only is it powered by a 3D engine utilising cutting edge technology, it also has an advanced physics system which allow for a never before seen environment interaction. The player can open drawers, pull levers, pick up objects and more using natural mouse movements creating a highly interactive and dynamic game world.
“Penumbra will keep players on the edge as they have to explore scary and atmospheric environments never knowing what is behind the next corner. The world is detailed, graphical as well as a story wise making the player feel part of the world as secrets are uncovered.”
Inside Mac Games also says that the upcoming expansion Penumbra: Requiem is heading for Mac & Linux, with more details to be released as the game nears completion during the summer of 2008.
