Penumbra: Overture to Be Available at Gamer's Gate

Digital community platform Gamer's Gate has signed a new title by Swedish developer Frictional Games. First out in a series of games, "Penumbra: Overture" is guaranteed to keep players on edge as they explore its scary and immersive environment.

Played from a first person viewpoint, the captivating story line introduces challenging mind puzzles in a detailed world where secrets are uncovered. The 3D engine utilises cutting edge technology as well as an advanced physics system, where the mouse replicates natural movements to create a highly interactive and life-like game world. The same technique is applied to the weapon system, where the mouse serves to give players an increased realistic feel of combat.

Fighting enemies is not something best done with brute force though, in most situations fighting is a last resort and the player is often better using his/her wits. The enemy AI will also do its best to hunt and scare the player. Horrific creatures encountered can break down doors, use group co-ordination, interact with the physics and much more.
