A survival horror, action / adventure, RPG, Penumbra : Overture is an all around innovative game scoring points on a intuitive interface, a rich dark atmosphere, and (so far on my 30 minute romp into Penumbra) very practical puzzles that can be figured out through common sense. The game play itself is about survival and using the environment to progress. The environment is intuitively easy to manipulate with mouse clicks and drags and one can also map inventory objects to number hot keys. Movement is controlled by your typical FPS key punches. The game is not too combat oriented and stealth does play a larger role in game play. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
