Black Plague is a radically different game to Overture in terms of pacing and style, but at the same time in manages to incorporate many of the same themes and plot elements. In truth, Black Plague feels more like a professionally produced game, for both better and worse. While Overture was a decidedly indie effort that seemed to thrive on its rough edges and unusual delivery, Black Plague is a game that has a more shiny, refined and polished feel to it all the way through.

It’s clear that Frictional has taken on board some of the major complaints about the games too – Penumbra: Black Plague introduces collectable items to extend replayability, more solutions to puzzles along with characters and narrative that are more fully fleshed out and realised.
