What is Penumbra: Black Plague?

Penumbra: Black Plague is the second installment of the Penumbra series of episodic games for the PC developed by Swedish developer Frictional Games. The story continues where the previous episode, Penumbra: Overture, left off. It was released on February 12, 2008. First intended as a trilogy, the series was reduced to two episodes due to unidentified problems with the previous publisher, Lexicon Entertainment, with the announcement of Penumbra: Black Plague. This episode was published by Paradox Interactive. However, Frictional Games has announced that Penumbra will get an expansion named Requiem, which has been released as of 2009

Gameplay :

Like the previous episode, Penumbra: Overture, Black Plague is an exploration-based adventure game that takes place from a fully 3-dimensional, first-person perspective. Although the game is presented as a first-person adventure game, it also contains elements of first-person shooter and survival horror gameplay.

Gameplay features a mixture of exploration and solving physical puzzles (the Newton Physics engine allows for many physics puzzles similar to those seen in Half-Life 2). In comparison to the previous episode, combat has been heavily de-emphasized. Players will no longer be able to acquire melee weapons or create makeshift traps to fight enemies with. Instead, the emphasis is on the use of stealth and fleeing to avoid attacks by enemy creatures.
