Games
The company's first commercially released video game was the survival horror game Penumbra: Overture in 2007, followed by its sequel Penumbra: Black Plague in 2008 and finally the expansion Penumbra: Requiem later in 2008. In 2010, Frictional Games released their fourth game Amnesia: The Dark Descent which introduces version 2 of the HPL Engine.
All of Frictional's titles employ the in-house game engine HPL. Penumbra itself was originally a tech demo created in 2006 to show off the technology.
They are currently producing an indirect sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent titled Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. They are also developing another unannounced game which will be powered by currently in development HPL Engine 3.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
—Chinese proverb.
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
