Black Plague better than Overture? - Googolplex - 11-17-2008

Hello,
I 've just played Penumbra Overture (episode 1).
Now I wanted to play Penumbra Black Plague (episode 2).

Episode 1 was very good.
Is Episode 2 much better?

And ends the story with episode 2 or only with the addon Requiem?

But Requiem is n't so eerie anymore.

And I think the Penumbra series are too short!

How long is Episode 2 without Requiem?

Black Plague is better.
Requiem is... well... a deception.

Requiem isn't much scary(except a bit on a couple of places). And personally, I found Overture to be better than Black Plague - however, I seem to be with the minority. Tongue

A very small minority. Smile

I found overture loads better than black plague; but black plague still deserves to be played.

The storyline and figures seemed better in Overture.
Scary moments were more plentiful in overture
Lore was abundant in overture, while BP had only a few notes

@jamhaw: True. Tongue
@WindexGlow: I agree with all of your points. Wink
