Inside Mac Games has posted a preview of Frictional Games new action/adventure game Penumbra: Overture. As the title suggests, this is the first of three games in the series, which has already bowed on the Windows and Linux platforms. Here is a clip from the preview:

Story-wise, Penumbra has a lot going on. As Philip, you’ve chosen to disregard a letter sent by your long-lost Father following the death of your Mother. For reasons not quite clear, you decide to search for him in the property in Greenland that was left to you. This evolves into a sort of madness and obsession, which tints the game’s story revelation for the entire chapter. Yes, Penumbra: Overture is the first of three chapters. No, there’s no huge revelation at the end of chapter one- rather the table is set, in much the same way that Fellowship of the Ring set the table for Two Towers and Return of the King.
