The Penumbra collection is a small collection of games. All made by the same development studio. Titles refer to survival horror with a first-person view. From other representatives of the genre projects differ in freedom of action, a high degree of interactivity and adventurous puzzles.
The Penumbra collection contains the entire trilogy. The first part is called Overture ("Penumbra 1. Origins of Evil", also known as "Dark World"). It introduces gamers to Philippe Lafresque. A 30-year-old man receives a letter from his estranged father after his mother's death, who was presumed dead, and finds himself in Greenland. His search for a relative leads him to an abandoned mine, where a miner with an unstable psyche, nicknamed Red, comes in contact with him over the radio. The sequel (Black Plague or "Diaries of the Dead") starts where the original ended. The protagonist is stunned and locked in a room. He escapes and finds himself in an underground base where all sorts of devilry is going on. In the sequel Requiem ("Requiem ") the story also starts where it ended in the last game. The same hero wakes up in a tomb and begins to experience a sense of deja vu.
The gameplay is built on physics and non-standard interaction with the environment. For example: here to unlock the door you don't press a button, but click and move the mouse, simulating the turn of the handle, and then pull it towards you. If you stop moving, the doorway will only be ajar. In the original storyline, you can throw different objects at monsters, attack them with a pickaxe, trap them, stealth them, lock them in cages or rooms. You also have to explore locations, solve puzzles. In the sequel the creators have removed the combat, forcing you to constantly hide from the enemies. And in the final part they simplified the quest component.
