Well I can see two good things coming out a Penumbra clone
1) The clone could take advantage of the HLP2 engine.
2) Graphic's and the overall experience would be a lot better.
I own the Penumbra collection so I have the resources on my hard drive

.
@triadtimes well I do not see why not... I am working on my first custom story and will be done soon. After that I am going to start working on a Penumbra clone for Amnesia.

Legally I should be in the green...
I just have to change a few names and remake well Penumbra so it is not exactly the same (easier said than done but I am ready for a challenge

).
