Heh, I was downloading the demo and then saw this thread.

 

[NoirYuki]

Wow, that looks pretty amazing. Actually, I'm downloading the first game from GamersHell right now. Hopefully the atmosphere and interaction is as good as it looks.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Very nice. You're downloading the first tech thing? There's a demo of the first "full game" aswell, Overture. All good.

 

[metsallica]

Can't wait to try this... the first one really surprised me!

I was downloading whatever this is:
http://www.gamershell.com/download_14553.shtml

I guess it's actually a tech demo, then?

 

[metsallica]

Yes, that's the tech demo. This: http://www.gamershell.com/download_18128.shtml is the Penumbra: Overture demo.

 

[Huggy]

I really wanted to like the first one, but the game forced 16-bit color on my videocard (radeon 9800). It hurts too much on the eyes.

 

[~Kinggi~]

The first one was actually quite good. Get this and the first one if you are into horror adventure type of experiences.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Heh. The tutorial was very well done. Slowly trying the demo now.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Not so sure it needs it, but updated first post with more mirrors. Hehe.

 

[metsallica]

Anyone know if this is on Steam?

 

[Zenith]

Kickass, I've been waiting for this for weeks.

Newcomers, get the TECH demo before the Overture and Plague demos. the Overture one cuts out early and doesn't let you appreciate the gameplay mechanics.

EDIT: completed it. holy shit, that shat all over the first one. in terms of puzzles, enemies and scariness. Secret underground labs > abandoned mines.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Anyone know if this is on Steam?

It's not, but they both really should be.

 

[NoirYuki]

Man, just played through the first one. Pretty darn cool though fighting is pretty difficult.

I dug this room for its Silent Hill influence, even if it was more reminiscent of the movie (i.e. ash rising up from a glowing red pit) than the actual games.

Edit: Anyone else find the glow stick far more useful than the flashlight?

 

[dark steve]

Hey, I haven't played any of this series since the initial tech demo.

Did they ever fix the minor bug where there were huge thick wooden planks lying around but I could not use them to beat the shit out of enemies?

yes.

Yeah, they did. Hehe..

 

[eXistor]

Funny, I just started playing the first game yesterday and was wondering if Ep. 2 was ever announced.

 

[Monsterland]

I just finished the demo and it's awesome. More people should check this out, the demo is only 135 mb. There was one part that actually scared which hasn't really happened since I played system shock 2. And yeah, there's an obvious silent hill influence going on with some cool little puzzles.

 

[Zenith]

I completed Black Plague today.

I've killed hundreds of virtual people in video games, but this is the first game to ever make me MURDER someone. it's a unique experience that everyone should try. the guilt, the regret...

also the puzzles freakin' rock. I loved computer room one.

 

[Kosma]

Hasn't this game been out for a while now? I swear I saw it on the cheap somewhere. Maybe it's the first one. Is that worth the money?

Probably the first one, that's been out for about a year. And yes, it's very much worth it. I borrowed it from a buddy a while back and loved it, so I wanted to buy it for myself. It was a bitch to find in the shops but I finally found it for €3,99. Pretty good deal right?

Problem is, I need to play Ep. 2 but I can't find it anywhere. I live in the Netherlands, but haven't been able to find it in any shops. Anyone know any American online shops that sell it and will ship to Europe? Amazon doesn't do it, vg+ doesn't stock it, as does Dvdboxoffice.

 

[Ricker]

I liked the demo,even though it took me forever to even get out of the first room heh... the mouse/point and click motion to open drawers and like to turn and use stuff is well done also,might pick this up at some point.

You could try a certain digitial distribution store that has their games, can't recall the name though but it's European based.
