Alert icon.png Warning: It's difficult to do anything with Penumbra: Overture and Penumbra: Black Plague as it requires using old software and learning a great deal before anything useful can be made. Take the time to read through the documentation and familiarize yourself with the tools.
Note icon.png Overture and Black plague are identical scripting-wise but differ with enemy types. Black Plague introduced the infected character whereas Overture can't load those in-game.
