Our take on Out of Oblivion
The pitch emphasizes atmosphere and an unknown threat, while the concrete play details center on scarce ammunition, careful exploration, and notes about the complex. The store text also says the game was made by one person on a small budget and may be improved through feedback.
What is Out of Oblivion?
Out of Oblivion is a first-person survival horror game set in the CERERA scientific complex.
Players take the role of Matthew, a special-forces captain who must survive encounters with unknown monsters and find a way out. Ammunition and other resources are limited, so using cartridges carefully matters. The game includes some nonlinearity, and players can read notes to learn what happened to the complex’s inhabitants. The vendor ties survival to attentiveness, noting that overlooking details can lead to death and that playtime depends on how carefully the complex is explored. The game was made by one person on a small budget, with improvements planned in response to feedback.
