omg, looks awesome. its not the kind of game i would be able to play though, i cant play anything scary like that. o.o the physics part looks amazing, it looks like just about everything is interactive. if it wasnt scary i would definately get it. :P
It is... Penumbra has some of the best physics details I have ever seen in a game... This means moving stuff around, totally controlling in real time the pulling/pushing/rotating movement of objects by using the mouse, and many other really good details... they don't use scripted actions. Its an amazing game! and all made by a small Swedish independent company
They're definitely the kings of horror games when it comes to immersion, discipline and the strict following a serious philosophy throughout the game. Theres not a single thing that will make you say: "wait a minute, this is ridiculous, not scary at all! Major turn off!"

yay for indies. ^__^ im fine with scary stuff as long as i have a good gun, but it doesnt look like theres any weaps except for maybe objects. but it seriously looks cool.
This might be off-topic, but how long is each penumbra game?
Pretty long if you don't follow a walkthrough! Sometimes it might even be really hard.
Btw.. Play the HARD mode. =D survival skills.

Yeah, theres no weapon except in Penumbra Ep1: Overture, where you can use a hammer, pickaxe and some more... but they're far from being that effective... If you try and attack the enemies, you'll end up dead if you make a mistake. lol but thats the purpose of penumbra! make you feel uncomfortable, vulnerable.! thats the secret.
check this, in the dark and with headphones

A new video and exact release date.
They got over 2 000 pre-orders thanks to the Humble Indie Bundle (even though this game wasn't in there), so there'll be extra features. Forgot what they were.
It's currently on Beta stage. There still won't be a demo yet, though.
Some critics have gotten to play a bit of it and they say positive stuff. It'll be SCARY!!!

The extra will be the option to play through the game with the developer's audio commentary.
Can't wait to get my hands on this game.
