In this article we’re going to review Penumbra in its entirety. The game that directly resulted in the rebirth of horror video games was Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which uses the same formula as Penumbra.
But Penumbra didn’t directly cause this surge of new horror games, it indirectly sparked it. It was the first game from Frictional Games, who later brought us Amnesia: The Dark Descent and SOMA(and no, they did NOT develop Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs). This revolution was sparked by Penumbra, a first-person PC exclusive episodic horror game released by Frictional Games in 20, and it is currently within our lists of top ten horror games of all time (where it’s top 3) and top ten best stories of all time.
We all see this, but how many of us wonder why? What caused this horror revolution? These horror games are quite a lot different than the classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Even mainstream horror games are being released again, such as The Evil Within. The horror video game genre has been revitalized in recent years and it now strongly populates Steam’s indie game section.
