Frictional Games re-releases Penumbra horror series for $5

Frictional Games has announced a re-release of their Penumbra Series for Mac and Linux. All three Penumbra games—Overture, Black Plague and the Requiem expansion—will be available tomorrow as a single download with a single installer. Even better, on launch weekend (July 17th-19th), Mac and Linux users can get all three games for $5.

During the launch weekend of Friday the 17th to Sunday the 19th the Penumbra Collection for Mac & Linux will sell for a mere USD 5! Windows users recently had the same offer available to them and due to numerous inquires from Mac & Linux gamers we hope that this offer will achieve full cross-platform horror enjoyment. After the launch weekend the Penumbra Collection will sell for USD 20.

The Penumbra Collection will be available in the Frictional Games Store for Mac & linux. In addition the Mac version will also be available from the Mac Game Store, Mac Games Arcade and the recently launched Gamer’s Gate for Mac. All stores are participating in the USD 5 weekend launch!

I reviewed Penumbra: Overture back at Applelinks, and, based on that experience alone, can say that this is an amazing deal that will surely satisfy fans of adventure and horror games. Aside from great puzzles and scares, Penumbra features a unique physics interaction system, detailed story and dreadful environments. Its approach to the survival horror genre has received numerous awards and critical acclaim. Visit www.penumbragame.com for more information, media and demos.
