Help! - Redgid - 08-12-2009
Hello all im a huge fan of the penumbra games and when i learned that they were based upon a book i Felt that i needed toread it to maybe understand penumbra games a little better so can some please tell me what that book is called Thanks[/font]

It's not based on any book I know of, but it was inspired generally by Lovecraft's work. This pretty cool guy I never heard of called Tom Jubert wrote Penumbra's story so he may have some stuff for you to read.

Cool I will Look at his stuff and BTW i was on wikipedia and it said "The game has taken some influence from H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos with the long forgotten underground alien creatures somewhere in the Antarctic."

The story with "forgotten underground alien creatures somewhere in the Antarctic" is At the Mountains of Madness.
