Try Darkness Within.

But some environments are similar to Amnesia and the atmosphere is threatening too.
The Witcher is an other kind of game, but there is no other horror game like Penumbra and then I have to go to an other genre with same elements.
And The Witcher has not more common with Fable as with Penumbra.
It has a lot in common with Fable, I have played all three games and so I know. When I say Fable, I mean Fable The Lost Chapters (Fable 1 for PC). Penumbra is modern, horror-like, puzzle-like etc... Well....it's different. Anyway...

never heard of it!
RE: Games like Penumbra - Chemos - 07-06-2011
Tanshaydar is right , you should try both of these games.
Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder
Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage
both are psychological horror Adventure games based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft.
the first game is point and click but the second is in first person

if I have time, I will give the second a try.
RE: Games like Penumbra - Googolplex - 07-06-2011
I tryed Darkness Within, but it has a very amateur moderately gameplay.
Some atmospheric elements are eerie, but the controlling is user-unfriendly.
No really physic puzzles, only click & use.
The games looks very good, but that's all.
RE: Games like Penumbra - Tanshaydar - 07-06-2011
That's first game. There is a second game, a sequel.
Well, I'm not gonna waste my time.
RE: Games like Penumbra - Googolplex - 07-06-2011
I mean the sequel. The first person one.
RE: Games like Penumbra - Chemos - 07-07-2011
Googolplex your right about the gameplay and controls but for the rest of the part the game is good if you like adventure horror games , and there is indeed no game like penumbra burkemelvin77
