Survival Horror Games

Penumbra: Overture, is the kind of game that can make even some of the most jaded gamers feel a sense of fear and dread as they move through the darkened corridors of the game. Within the first few minutes of the game, the player finds that they are in some uncharted, unknown, and desolate facility somewhere beneath the frozen landscape of an uninhabited part of Greenland. Both the player and the character, Philip, have absolutely no idea what to expect when journeying to the place that Philip’s father told him (in a letter) not to go anywhere near, for undisclosed reasons.
