To what game could Penumbra be compared to?

[Klarden]

Just found the post to say: No, not Dark Messiah of M&M, the first guy was talking about the game called in Japan Dark Messiah and Hellnight in EU (it didn't get the NA), recently finally had a chance to play it (heard about it ever since it got released in 99) and the feeling is in fact close to the one you have, while playing Overture (the "ther's nothing behind the corner, there's nothing behind the corner" one)
