Penumbra 5 dolla 5 dolla
The penumbra series looks creepy and had decent reviews for an indy title. You get the whole series of games which include Requiem expansion (which isn't obvious in the steam add) for 5 dollars.
Overture Black Plague Requiem 75 percent off this weekend. http://www.penumbragame.com/

I just finished playing the first game (overture). It took me 8.8 hours of straight play. Granted, I toned it down a bit by increasing the brightness and very rarely did I listen to the sound, I enjoyed every minute of it, even when I was creeped out. It was nice to take a break from the generic "This is a horror game, but here's a dozen boxes of ammunition and a dozen weapons." games of today. The physics engine was a plus. For five dollars, this is a steal. Seriously, I feel bad buying such an amazing game series for five dollars. It's worth a ton more. Buy the goddamn collector's pack now. Three games for five dollars? Even if they don't win your heart, obvious deal is obvious. If you don't like it, give it to someone who actually values good games. Think of this series as an interactive H.P. Lovecraft novel. It was influenced by his works, after all.

I started playing yesterday, didn't have time over the weekend. Wow, I agree what a change and it IS creepy. I turned off the lights and cranked up the sound. Just the sounds can be used at as a back drop to a haunted house, let alone finding some ... oops almost let out a spoiler.
Nice stuff worth more than 5 bucks. If you didn't grab this one it was a steal. I always miss those weekend deals, not this time. There is a lot of reading so it reminds me of an old Zork game or Myst only with a really good physics engine. Takes a little time to get used to, like dragging open drawers etc. Definitely 9 out 10

Everything feels so epic, like whenever I get to the next obstacle, I'm like "CAN'T ANYTHING BE EASY!?"
And I tend to be very absent minded, forgetting things in my backpack, or not seeing obvious puzzle pieces. |

It's still pretty cheap.
Just finished Black Plague. That was one of the most fucked up exquisite and did I say FUCKED up game experiences I have had in a long time. If ever. If I smoked a lot of pot I would grab a BIG bag before starting that game.
