$16! And for us steam users, Frictional will provide a steam activation key upon request for all orders through their website!

It seriously doesn't get much cheaper than this. The Penumbra series was fantastic and if you have never played it, then you really are missing out. Demos are out for both Overture (the first game) and Black Plague (second game).

Here's the website for Amnesia, complete with a new gameplay trailer: http://www.amnesiagame.com/#main

I have never played that before, but frig it looks creepy.

Kind of reminds me of that Call of Cthulu game (which I enjoyed quite a bit)

Ohhhh my gosh. If either of you have never played the Penumbra games, google "Penumbra Black Plague demo" and give it whirl. If you're a fan of horror, or environment interaction in a first person game, you will love these.

played black plague it's really eerie, but I am not a big fan of puzzle games.

Penumbra Overture and Black Plague were two of the best horror games that I have played in recent memory.

Until they came along, I haven't been so tense playing a game in the dark since Silent Hill 2.

Wow, even in the teaser you could feel the tension. I think I'll have to snatch this deal up.

Make sure you play the games in a dimly lit room [just the glow of your monitor] with the head phones on [lock the door so nobody sneaks up on you] - and try to immerse yourself into the games [don't play it like it doesn't matter if you die - play it like you're trying to survive] - it will scare the crap out of you... :)

Penumbra Overture is rather repetitive so far, I suppose I am about 1/2 way through it. Not sure if it is worth finishing. I purchased it and Black Plague during a steam combo deal a while back.
