- Post a comment DreamCatcher Games sent out a press release announcing that
Obscure
(demo) has
reached gold status for North America. The Survival Horror game will be
available for the PS2 Xbox and PC on March 29, 2005.
In the vain of Hollywood’s popular horror movie genre, Obscure tracks a group of
five high school students who discover the halls they walk each day are anything
but safe. A string of mysterious disappearances and unexplained events set the
stage for a night more horrifying than any trip to detention...
Obscure offers a wide range of gameplay options to see gamers through their
night of terror. Players customize their action experience, interchanging
between any characters at any time, utilizing the unique skills and abilities of
each student. Controlled AI settings of defense, attack and help, allow
characters to assist each other during combat and while solving puzzles.
The game also offers single or team play, with a second player able to enter or
exit the game at any time for a unique co-op experience. Obscure is also one of
the first survival horror games to propose a full cooperative mode: a second
player can take control of another student and work together to fight monsters
and resolve puzzles, adding a new level of challenge to the game.
Stress runs high as players are constantly vulnerable to attack, even when they
least expect it! Monsters also face their share of vulnerability when players
combine conventional weapons with natural and artificial light, exploiting their
weak spots. A "black aura" feature intensifies stress, making dangerous elements
visible on screen through real-time graphic effects. To keep the player fully
immersed in virtual panic, dynamic camera settings allow for complete freedom of
movement, making it possible to shoot and move simultaneously.
