#01: The Trappings of Curiosity

I am Philip, a renowned physicist who teaches at a university. My mother's funeral was about a year ago, and shortly thereafter I receive a letter from the father I never knew; he spoke of his imminent passing, declaring that by the time I read the letter, he would already be dead. It didn't say much, just left a deposit box in my name; of course I went to check it out.

In it, I found an old book, collection of documents, and discovered that he had been declared legally dead almost three decades ago. Strange. His instructions were to burn them all, but no man is immune to the shameful trappings of curiosity; I discovered that the old book was indecipherable, but I learned of a certain location somewhere in the wastes of Northern Greenland. Without any more details than that, for some reason I decided to journey out there myself to learn more...

ABOUT THE GAME:

Penumbra: Overture (2007), by Frictional Games, is the first chapter of a survival horror series that preceded the more well-known game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It features much of the same elements - a dynamic physics engine, gameplay that emphasizes puzzle-solving, and instilling psychological horror based on an inability to fight back against the game's monsters.

The story begins when our character, Philip, receives a mysterious letter from the father he never knew shortly after his mother's funeral. A series of clues leads Philip to an isolated part of Northern Greenland, where he begins searching for answers.

"If fate frowns, we all perish."
