An action horror game that just blows me away. Try the demo for yourself.

But seriously this is a recommended game from me.

Penumbra: Overture


There are also others in the series such as the Penumbra: Black Plague and the Expansion requiem, but I think it would be most reasonable to show caravel the first.

I remember playing (think it was, anyway) the tech demo for this. This game is actually scary. Not FEAR scary (make you jump, gore and scary girls, not at all integrated with gameplay) But more Thief, System Shock 2 and Bioshock (with a death penalty) scary. It took me a long time to get used to those zombies...

And way more frightening than any 'horror' movie I've ever seen. (most of them are actually pretty funny)

Ugh, still need to finish that Bioshock copy on my computer, but each time another zombie comes around the corner whilst I just shot everyone there the game freaks me out. Also, I'm scared as hell to confront the evil doctor in the 2nd level. Really creepy.
