Home alone(?)



<span class="bold">Obscuritas</span>, a haunting horror adventure where you explore a foreboding mansion filled with your nightmares, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

Good horror stories prey on our fear of the unknown. The truly great ones, however, confront us with what we already fear but are too scared to admit. Sarah is about to face all her personal nightmares in a desperate attempt to retain her sanity and not succumb to crippling horror.

Her great-uncle has passed away and now Sarah finds herself in an old country house, eager to check out her mysterious inheritance. But her newly-acquired property comes with some undesirable remains of the past which will need something more drastic than a thorough dusting to get rid of. Is she going mad, or is the mansion slowly turning against her, bringing her most horrible fears to life? It's almost as though the place actually recognises her mental state and constantly assaults her mind, plunging her into a gallery of obscure realities. Sarah must keep her wits about her as best she can in order to stay alive and solve the puzzles creeping behind every haunted corner.



Navigate a mansion's sinister past as you enter the twisted world of <span class="bold">Obscuritas</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% launch discount will last until March 25, 1:59 PM GMT.

Sorry for being that guy, but judging from the screenshots, description and trailer ( which doesn't show much of anything ) this seems very... mediocre? Does anyone here know more about the game?

Edit: Oh, and are the hardware requirements correct? The game looks decent enough, but this seems kinda excessive:

Recommended system requirements: Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 790 or comparable ATI graphics card Memory: 8GB (min. 4GB free memory for the game)

Just for comparison, the recommended GPU for Witcher 3 is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770.

Two of the screenshots on the storepage are very Hellraiser-esque, too bad I´m too much of a wuss to play horror games. :P

Ghost & Goblins isn't a horror game, though the difficulty level will scare the shit out of you. :P

Ouch... on so many ways... :P

I love horror games, but I think I will just keep this on my wishlist for now.

If it´s comparable to BattleToads, thanks but no thanks. :P

That seems really badly optimized if so.

What a bummer!
Another game that will grow old on the wishlist, until I'll get a new computer.

I may be wrong , but it looks like another walking simulator. At least I hope the puzzles are good.

We need that as an official genre: Walking Simulators.

Love it. XD

Yeah, especially considering it's apparently mostly indoors areas, with relatively simple architecture/ low poly count.

Don't get me wrong, I think the game looks pretty nice, but it doesn't look like the kind of visual quality and complexity which would call for high-end hardware. It looks kind of "last gen"; certainly not like a game which should exceed hardware requirements of major "current gen" titles such as Witcher 3.

I'm terrible with horror games and obviously I'm not buying it with the regional pricing, but that fear factory mechanic or whatever it's called sounds interesting.
Although it'll probably just spawn tons of enemies it 'thinks' you're scared of.

Is her name Sharah, or Sarah?

I agree, it has nice sound to it as a genre. But I don't know too many representatives to be worth it's own category. Definitely Solus Project, and now maybe this one. All the Shelter/Paws games? Never played one of them. Even Waking mars probably doesn't qualify, it's not first perspective walking simulator. Maybe we need subgenres then: TPPWS and FPPWS.
