Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
10 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

i really like the setting of this game, going deeper and deeper into an abandoned mine works really well for this sort of game. i feel like they could have made it feel more isolating but i'm not really sure how. maybe the sound design or something could have been better but im no expert. the actual enemies themselves arent really scary, but theres plenty of tense moments throughout the game. the combat being very clunky can add to the tension when you're just starting out, but unfortunately after you figure it out it kind of dampens it.
Really unusual and atmospheric experience

fun
Not much of a horror game more about the puzzles. Definitely aged but still fun. With how cheap it is always sold for on sales definitely worth picking up
A bit janky, but it's still a nice short horror game, though more atmospheric than scary. At the very least it's cool to see where Amnesia got it's start from.
Хорошая Головоломка
Just a little late to the party, but this game has a vibe. The world is palpable. The survival horror elements leave a little to be desired as once you figure out how to defend yourself it can be a cakewalk. But I needed a slow burn horror game and this did exactly that for me. No boring jump "scares" (I hate that word its just a way to say surprised you with a little flair) Highly recommend!
Insanely good horror game
[h1]El padre espiritual de 'Amnesia'[/h1] Penumbra: Overture demostró que el verdadero miedo no viene de disparar a monstruos, sino de sentirte acorralado en la oscuridad mientras intentas atrancar una puerta con tus propias manos. Su uso de las físicas para interactuar con los mapas fue revolucionario y la ambientación en las minas de Groenlandia sigue poniendo los pelos de punta. Eso sí, el combate es horrible. Intentar matar a un enemigo a martillazos con los gestos del ratón es más torpe que aterrador. Además, los gráficos han envejecido bastante y hay momentos de prueba y error en el sigilo que pueden resultar exasperantes. Salvo por ese combate fallido, es un clásico de culto del terror psicológico.

Penumbra: Overture — мрачный атмосферный хоррор с заброшенными шахтами, головоломками, исследованием и постоянным ощущением, что за тобой кто-то наблюдает. Для своего времени игра была довольно прорывной: здесь отлично работали физика объектов и освещение, которые заметно усиливали погружение и делали окружение более живым. Отдельно хочется отметить атмосферу. Игра не пытается завалить игрока оружием и монстрами, а заставляет думать, исследовать и иногда предпочитать бегство драке. Благодаря этому даже обычный поход по тёмному коридору может превратиться в маленький нервный аттракцион. Из минусов для русскоязычных игроков стоит отметить отсутствие перевода текста. В игре довольно много длинных записок, документов и других текстовых материалов, которые раскрывают сюжет и происходящее. Поэтому без знания английского можно пропустить немалую часть истории. В целом Penumbra: Overture и сегодня отлично показывает, почему её считают одной из заметных игр своего времени. Атмосфера, физика, освещение и напряжённое исследование делают её достойной внимания любителей старой школы хоррора.
