Penumbra: Overture Goes Episodic
Penumbra Overture will now be going the episodic way.
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.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
