So, I'm a bit enthousiastic yes. But those who liked the chzo/1213 atmosphere, kind of story, kind of twists, and kind of "sincerity", are the same ones who'll love it.
There. Avault reviews (avault still exists?) :

Find a copy, and tell me how much not wrong I was. Don't get too emotional either.

That's the Yahtzeest thing I've heard all day.

And wouldn't that, therefore, mean that only Yahtzee /CAN/ make the Yahtzeest thing ever? See, because he's Yahtzee, even a completely different game is the Yahtzeest thing. Because it's made by Yahtzee.
So it could be better than a Yahtzee game, but it can't be Yahtzeest thing ever because it's not by Yahtzee.
But hey, I'll give it a shot.
PM me, we'll talk.

For clarity: There was a tech demo released called Penumbra that showed off nifty things like physics and lighting with some puzzles. It ended abruptly, but it was a tech demo, so what do you expect.
However the demo raised enough interest in Penumbra that they decided to make into into a real game, taking on the episoidic format of a trilogy (though the 3rd part may be more of an expansion pack?).
I played the first one, and loved it, for many touches and the way the whole thing came across. I didn't know they'd released the second game so thanks for the heads up Absent.

I think that was even more Yahtzeest.

When you call something 'the gayest' that does not imply it's gay. Your opinion on it is that it is very similar to being gay.
That's Yahtzeeish in itself!
I hope theres no Yahtzists readint his topic...
Chapter One: The Comic
Chapter Two: The Fame
Chapter Four: Zero Punctuation and Fans
Hmm...

It's like this, y'see: what we REALLY love is the IDEA of Yahtzee, not Yahtzee himself, so it's perfectly possibly that someone other then Yahtzee can create something Yahtzier than Yahtzee.

No... when I say the people in this picture are the gayest, I literally mean that they're being homosexual. My saying that is not implying anything, it's what the people are doing that makes it gay.

According to this forum post, the project is effectively dead. Pity, it would have been an interesting idea.

edit: also a pity about the 3d mod going down the tubes. I'm tempted to try and make a DeFoe manor map for HL2DM but I suck at map making, and don't know my way round hammer...

I've just played Penumbra Black Plague. It's the last in the series so the third episode is going to be an expansion pack, not a continuation.
Put simply, it's a really good game.
Works fine on Linux, though had to tinker with one or two things.
