Penumbra Collection — $5 — this weekend only
This is quite cool. The Penumba PC game trilogy is on sale this weekend for only $5! The games have been recently ported to Linux, so you can play these on either a Linux or Windows based machine. For those of you not in the know, Penumbra is a first person survival horror series, with puzzles and elements of cthulutu-esque nature galore.
A story synopsis from Wikipedia:
Penumbra: Overture follows Philip, a thirty-year-old physicist whose last living relative, his mother, dies. After receiving a mysterious letter from his supposedly dead father, Philip follows a series of clues that lead him to Greenland. The harsh cold forces him to take shelter in an abandoned mine. Unfortunately, the mine’s entrance collapses as he enters it, and he is forced to move deeper inside. Within the mine, Philip begins receiving radio messages from Tom “Red” Redwood, a man driven insane by cabin fever. Red promises that if he is found, he will give Philip answers. The game follows Philip as he descends deeper into the mines in search of Red while unraveling the secrets of the mine’s previous and current inhabitants.
To get your copy of the Penumbra collection, just go to the series website. I did, and it’s definitely been worth it.
