Obscure review:
Unfortunately for the developer, Obscure has been released with very little promotion or marketing. While it does demonstrate some interesting ideas, it does not succeed in reinventing the genre. For fans of the genre, Obscure is definitely worth playing.
Obscure review:
It’s a terrible, terrible idea to have one player lagging behind, just begging to get stuck on some environmental object and die. This is only exaggerated by the many points where the puzzle design, level layout, and management of the teens’ special skills are just plain clumsy and almost unusable.
Obscure review:
In the style of Hollywood’s popular horror movie genre, Obscure tracks a group of five all-American high school students who discover the halls they walk each day are anything but safe from their most horrifying nightmares. A string of mysterious disappearances and unexplained events set the stage for a night more horrifying than any trip to detention...
Obscure review:
Every once and a while a game with very little publicity or fanfare comes out of nowhere to surprise us with just how good it is despite any level of hype, a ‘sleeper’ if you will. So far this year, no game has surprised me more than DreamCatcher Interactive’s Obscure, a budget-priced survival horror title for the PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2. To be honest, up until a week or so before the game shipped I had never even heard of the game, and now that I’ve played it I am upset with myself for not knowing about it a long time ago. Obscure, while certainly not a genre redefining game, is a well-crafted piece of gaming that no survival horror fan in their right mind should pass up.
Obscure review:
For a game that relies on teamwork and the use of light as a weapon, you can't go too wrong with a budget priced title that looks and sounds as good as this one even without the online component. Hell, this game is almost as scary as high school was. *shiver*
