Indie game day!

Since many Indie games can't be put under common genres I decided to act as if it were its genre of its own. And before you think I'm about to talk about MineCraft I'll tell you now, no. MineCraft has made millions in sales and although being a great game I can't really consider it an Indie title.
With that out of the way, I would like to look over the Indie series, Penumbra. Best known for the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Frictional Games created this masterpiece back in 2007 and boy was I looking forward to it. Going through this game made games, such as, F.E.A.R., Condemned, and even the companies later release Amnesia feel like a cake walk. I had trouble getting through this game as I could only play it in 5 minute bouts, early in the morning. After completing the first game, you'll find yourself forced to play the sequel, and you will not beat it. No matter how hard I try I can't get myself to finish the sequel as I pretty much piss myself. Don't call me a pussy until you beat all three games, because this stuff is absurd!

You start the game (not going to be to descriptive to avoid spoilers) equiped with nothing but a flashlight, and don't expect to gain one throughout the game. You must trek through puzzles, fear-filled corridors, and avoid monstrous creatures, all while trying to achieve a simple goal; GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE! Believe me you'll be scared while playing this game and the other two installments in the series.


Sorry if this is not as well written as the others, I just wanted to get something out and I'm in a bit of a rush.
Until next time, I will recommend anyone looking for a nice game to purchase these games at
