Let's Play Penumbra: Overture (PC) — Blind

#02: Abandoned Mine

The blizzard outside was so terrible, I had to seek shelter in the nearest possible place... just my luck, I'm trapped in an abandoned mine that was seemingly used during the war.

A trip to the Office yields some notes from a british officer circa 1945, as well as some interesting references for creating several types of explosives.

ABOUT THE GAME:

Penumbra: Overture (2007), by Frictional Games, is the first chapter of a survival horror series that preceded the more well-known game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It features much of the same elements - a dynamic physics engine, gameplay that emphasizes puzzle-solving, and instilling psychological horror based on an inability to fight back against the game's monsters.

The story begins when our character, Philip, receives a mysterious letter from the father he never knew shortly after his mother's funeral. A series of clues leads Philip to an isolated part of Northern Greenland, where he begins searching for answers.
