If you like genuinely creepy games, you should check this one out. Short but well done.

If you're a graphics addict or you only like simple action games then this isnt your kind of game. Penumbra has an awkward but functional combat interface and it has some basic stealth elements too. The 3d graphics are better than functional but certainly not up to the current state of graphics. Basically, this is a story-driven adventure game. As an adventure game it is quite good, if a bit short. There's genuinely successful story-telling going on here while you walk slowly through a dark old delapidated mine. You read some text and you solve some puzzles. I'm generally not a fan of episodic games, but this one gets strong marks as an adventure game and I'll be curious about the next installment. The gamespot review quite rightly warns you to edit the game .ini file so that you can save where ever you want. Why? The game doesnt warn you when it is auto saving so you are never quite sure when you have a save to go back to or not. Since you can die in a heartbeat, you will likely need to save at will.
