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.
