Penumbra Necrologue (PC)

Thought I was done with the series, eh? As it turns out, the cult classic was so popular, it received a couple of fanmade sequels. Two of them a total conversion mod of Amnesia, and one currently in the works as a total convert of SOMA.

This mod is simply stellar. You'd think it really was the "third" Penumbra game, capping off the trilogy very nicely (the next one is a prequel). There are assets, backdrops, and models straight from Penumbra, with the only differing thing being the voice actors for obvious reasons. The second game was enough closure in itself, but this "third" one is a proper bookend, referencing not only the first two games but surprisingly even the rather droll Requiem as well, considering it canon of all things.

The fact that you enter the game delving into some mines (in Overture) and eventually a lab facility (in Black Plague) only to find out you're never going back means that this mod-sequel has a perfect opportunity to take you back the way you came. Through the labs in Black Plague and through the mine in Overture. And as such, Every important setpiece from the original games comes is recreated in the new Amnesia engine and it looks great!
