Frictional might do it, but there would have to be the following changes:

- not in an undersea lab: Frictional seems to enjoy average joe protagonists, and there's no way to explain how an average joe winds up in the middle of an undersea lab. Daniel can walk to a castle, Philip got to Greenland the way any of us could have with sufficient funds. Getting to an undersea lab would be quite difficult.

- Not assisting survivors. With the exception of Amabel, we don't meet any survivors in the Penumbra game, and we're unlikely to see escort missions in any upcoming games.

- No branching storylines or multiple playthroughs in multiple classes. Again, the Frictional fellows seem devoted to tailoring the story to one character, and multiple classes would reduce your connection to the character.

- No weapons. Frictional learned that lesson and are unlikely to forget it.

So other than that, maybe.
