Penumbra Black Plague is an excellent, if slightly rough horror game.
The tone of this game is a unique mix of horror and black comedy, the latter due in large part to your parasitic companion Clarence, who truly brings a lot of life into the game. The entire cast is excellent, and complements the setting greatly.
The setting is interesting, varied, and fun to explore. While I took issue with Penumbra Overture for being very repetitive, in this game it felt like I was constantly discovering something new.
Although not nearly as polished as Amnesia or SOMA, I would still highly recommend playing through Black Plague.
The DLC, Requiem, is a decent if not terribly interesting puzzle game. If nothing else, it's a fun bonus to the main game's story.
