Haha. I was truly, truly awful, and relieved we had the budget to get in a professional this time around.

RE: Penumbra: Black Plague Released!

So, I'm just wondering (and sorry if this is private) How is black plague selling? And is it selling better than overture?

Please -REP me.
Honestly, please do. I want to see how low I can go!!
Ignore that error message too. Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.

Did you play the demo? [further info/questions...]

No but I've played just enough of BP now that I've seen what you are talking about. I have a sense of what I think it means now, and yet, something still doesn't seem right... Again, time will tell! Thanks much for your non-spoiler notes though. Smile

I think you're too hard on yourselves there. Overture, and so far BP, both stand by themselves as quite enjoyable. When you couple that with the limited resources behind them, well they're exceptional.

(EDIT): Hold up a sec, do you mean that Thomas was the voice of Phillip in Overture??

Just finished and...wow. Really, wow. I'll reserve further comment for the inevitable thread discussing the game but I just want to say to the people at Frictional you truly have outdone yourselves.

Janakev; any suggestions (without spoiling anything, even vaguely) how we can improve the experience ourselves? Such as turn off lights, increase sounds, ect.

I have to say this is one of the coolest games I have seen in a while. I really enjoyed the demo. Good Job.

Basically what I wrote earlier in the thread. Wait until night, close the door, put out the lights and stick on a pair of headphones. Believe me, there were plenty of times I was looking over my shoulder (once or twice having to take the headphones off).

RE: Penumbra: Black Plague Released!

Well bought overture just the other week and got stunned.
So already pre-ordered Black Plague for this friday's swedish release Big Grin.

Anyway just goto say to the devs comment dudes you're awsome. I mean it's such greats games and so scary and very very special , i do not even dare to think of what you'd be capable of if you had even more resources Big Grin.

Rock on ! Svergie Tongue
