black plague is a natural evolution of overture, and what an amazing game. Frictional has always been good at making horror games

Yeah, okay, this is the good part and the bulk of the penumbra storyline. Cool stuff, you can definitely feel the dna that would make amnesia but even more so SOMA so great.

[h2]It is a masterpiece whose developing experience has shaped Frictional Games' future games.[/h2]
How is Black Plague better than Overture?
It has a summarised lore where most of the parts are pretty straight forward and easy to catch on. Got more and less difficult puzzles (Which makes the game progress much interesting). The locations are much more detailed among with various new objects and new puzzles. But at a cost of removed a combat features, comes the frictional games classic monsters (run or die scenarios) that are actually smarter and scarier than the beasts in the previous game. A peculiar thing about this game is that is mocks the stereotypes of horror games in places, but you know, it does it so well that it still maintains an intimidating appearance. [spoiler]clarence is the goat ngl[/spoiler]
Back to the first sentence of mine, I will say that the Overture in comparison is a walking sim compared to the Black Plague, judging by its versatile player approaches on monster situations. In general, the sequel is a lot better in expressing the lore, improved location design and puzzle interaction. Therefore the Overture is underrated but unpolished game as a whole, nevertheless it's lore mystery fulfil the Black Plague story pretty well. Judging from this I'm glad the developers have worked through their mistakes and started to move forward with their new Amnesia and SOMA titles
Frictional Games, please add some easter eggs in your future projects about penumbra, your first games deserves to not be forgotten.
