Frictional Games is a small games developer located in the south of Sweden, more specifically in the town of Helsingborg. We develop our own technology to power our games and so far we have released to titles, Penumbra: Overture and Penumbra: Black Plague.

Our own game engine goes under the name HPL and uses industry standard technologies such as OpenGL, OpenAL and Newton Game Dynamics. The engine is currently undergoing an extensive update and the new version is cleverly named HPL2.

So far we have created games within the horror genre, which might not always be the case for the future, with a good reception from the critics and gamers. As a bit of a goodie for those interested we are currently working on two new unannounced projects.
