Penumbra and At the Mountains of Madness

[The Rock Worm]

I've almost finished reading Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness and I love it. I also noticed that there is a lot of similarities with Penumbra games, like arctic location, excavations, ancient alien race buried underground and so on... It makes me think that this novel inspired FG to create Penumbra. Now I love Penumbra even more!*starts playing Overture again*

In case if you haven't read it, do it. If you like Penumbra, you will love At the Mountains of Madness!

I've read "At the Mountains of Madness" and really enjoyed it! Now that you mentioned it, the two are similar! Granted both have different characters and reasons for being there, but still very close! I will have to replay now .

At times I've wanted to make "At the Mountains of Madness" as an Amnesia Custom Story. The snow Penumbra has, but the textures (not to mention the monsters) would have to be a custom job.
