About Penumbra
Penumbra starts in 2007 with Overture as Philip hunts his father in Greenland mines with physics doors and hounds. Frictional bases the dread on hiding with glowsticks rather than guns. Black Plague from 2008 continues into the Tuurngait hive with Amabel and virus turns.
Requiem from 2008 closes as a puzzle expansion with dream tests outside canon. The three share the mine across 2 years, so release order suits puzzle growth over plot with Requiem last as the extra. Amnesia later reuses the same hide logic as a spiritual next.
Good to know
Play Overture first for the physics base well, then Black Plague as the direct follow up. Requiem fits last as a puzzle extra rather than a part three. Hounds need closet reads more than running, so learn noise rules early across mines. Treat the three as complete, since Frictional moved to Amnesia after 2008.
