So… is it an FPS or what? Or a kind of “alone in the dark”/ Res evil thingy?

Ooooh! Look! a Doom 3 esque soft drinks dispenser!
I liked the first Penumbra, it was a refreshing change.

Its more of a survival/adventure game than anything else. Combat wasn't that great. An emphasis upon puzzle solving - you interact with the environments using mouse gestures I guess, to open a door you use the key then ‘twist’ it in the lock with the mouse for example.
Cool. So… like a cross between Tomb Raider, Captain Blood and Wii sports?
The penumbra collector pack is on 75% off this weekend on Steam, anyone played it?, can recommend it?.

Looks interesting.
