Penumbra: Black Plague | Episode 2 | PC | Playthrough | Part 2 | 2K 1440p 60FPS
1Penumbra: Black Plague is the second installment of the Penumbra series of episodic computer games developed by Frictional Games. The story continues from the previous episode, Penumbra: Overture, showing the protagonist Philip moving away from the abandoned mine setting of the original to explore an underground research base. Black Plague was released on February 12, 2008 to generally favourable reviews from critics. Although originally intended to conclude the series, a further expansion called Penumbra: Requiem was released later that year.
The story of Black Plague begins as an email sent by Philip to a friend, explaining what has happened to him and begging him to finish the work he could not. The rest of the game then proceeds as a flashback narrated by Philip to his friend in the email, beginning from where the previous game left off.
The game begins with Philip waking up in a locked room, after being knocked out by an unseen being at the end of the first game.

NOTE ON VIDEO ASPECT RATIO: Although Penumbra: Black Plague allows for 16:9 1920x1080 resolution, I decided to output the videos (via video renderer) aspect ratio to 4:3, as this - on the whole - appears to be more natural.
