Our take on Obsurity
Rather than centering one hero in a single continuous adventure, Obsurity divides its action and puzzles between an exiled knight and a treasure seeker. The linked stories and contrasting gameplay styles replace the genre’s more familiar one-character structure.
What is Obsurity?
Obsurity is an atmospheric action game set across two contrasting worlds affected by eternal darkness.
Its story follows an exiled knight and a young treasure seeker in an interconnected tale about suffering and sacrifice. Players explore a pixel-art environment, uncover secrets, and solve puzzles while switching between two main characters. Each character has a distinct gameplay style. The plot is mysterious and fragmented, presenting the worlds through a story of hardship and loss.
