It isn’t often that you’ll find me writing news for anything other than an MMOG, so this is a first for me. I picked this up from the Frictional Games development blog whilst reading a huge analysis of Amnesia by The Escapist, but Hide was actually created by someone called shouldice over at the Super Friendship Club, a place where people go to talk about games they’re making and get feedback on them.

Review by Gregg B Developer Frictional Games Publisher Frictional Games Released February 12, 2008 Available for Windows (version played), Mac OS X, Linux Time Played Completed in 10-11 hours Verdict: 5/5 Gold Star “Penumbra: Black Plague punches well above its weight and while the progression of the story may not be to everybody’s liking, it’s such an unpredictable, frightening and exuberant thrill ride that I’d be hard pressed not to give my heartiest recommendation.”
