Penumbra: Overture Goes Episodic

Like a lot of its FPS brethren, Penumbra Overture, the upcoming first person action adventure from Swedish developer, Frictional Games will now be going the episodic way and here’s what you can expect from the first episode:

The first episode takes place in an underground facility on Greenland where the player finds himself alone, confused and with no way to get out. Something is wrong… where is everyone, and what are those strange noises?

You are on your own, except for some dangerous creatures and will survive and succeed on your guile. There will not be any direct character conversations and you learn about what is going on through radio transmissions, notes, and books and by examining the environment.

Penumbra: Overture is not about mindless violence, although there will be occasions when you will have to face a number of truly horrifying and unpleasant creatures and combat is implemented in such a way that an enemy is very hard to kill.
