Penumbra Collection – The Terror
Hits North America

The PC Horror Trilogy Ships to
Stores

Paradox Interactive is pleased to
announce that the Penumbra Collection, the critically acclaimed and innovative
horror trilogy, has shipped to stores across North America. Comprised of the
games Penumbra: Overture , Penumbra: Black Plague, and the recent expansion pack
Requiem, Penumbra Collection is the complete story of Philip Buchanon and his
journey through terror.

Commenting on the process of
developing the Penumbra series, Co-Founder and Sound Director at Frictional
Games, Jens Nilsson said, “We wanted to make a survival horror game with less
violence, but with more puzzle solving and exploration as gameplay elements. We
wanted to explore horror games as we had ideas that we felt could contribute to
increasing the feeling of horror in the games through minimal use of weapons,
hands on physics and believable puzzles and solutions. We came up with practical
puzzles, which could be solved with a mix of items and physics. The idea of
having believable solutions was to further enhance the players feeling of being
part of the game, using physics and believable items to make the gameplay more
hands on and exciting.”

Penumbra Collection is available in
stores everywhere with a suggested retail price of $19.99.
