Hi, am I the only one with engine problems?

Outside looks great and everything is fine.

Inside the movement stutters and feels shaky, no matter if you have 40 or 60+ fps in the game. As soon as you strafe the screen stutters a little?
Candlelight does work, but looks kind of shaky as well. Less like a moving light source, but more like a flashlight on/off at different positions.

Since my fps seem locked at 60, there is vsync?

I didn't play far into the game, just the first corridor.

Hello everyone,
Goodness I thought there would be more posts in this whole forum.......anyway, I read the two GoG reviews on here about this title and found them quite worrying.

I'll check out some reviews on youtube but wanted to know people's thoughts on this game. The Two GoG reviewers do not paint a pretty picture of this title.

Thanks in advance.

It's a *very* mediocre game, to be gentle. Bad graphics, bad puzzles, way too reliant on jumpscares, no atmosphere at all. The "detect fear" mechanic is a joke, don't think for a second it exists, because it doesn't. All they did was throwing a lot of different things at the player's face and hope to god one of them will prove worthy of scaring us.

GOG pride themselves on being a "digital boutique" with heavy curating. Not when it came to Obscuritas. It's a very crappy title that shouldn't be sold in here, period. Not worth it, even with the sale discount.

Thanks for that. Oh dear oh dear. Well, I'll check out some Lets plays and reviews but looks like I would only want this if it is like $5 or something.

Such a pity.

So it has reached the above price. What should I do now? So few posts - I would like to have several opinions not just one or three.

It is currently heacily discounted, I just jumped in and got it but I am surprised there are not many people here commenting on it.

Yeah, I probably will too. I watched a few scenes in an LP and even though it does not seem to be graphical up to date it looked like casual exploring fun for me.

Hello,
Yes I agree 100%. I just got worried that the reviews here did not inspire me with confidence. I still really wanted to give it a go so I just wait for a sale. I've been waiting for superhot to go down in price for years now. Now way I will ever pay more than $10 for that and it has never gone down that far.........yet. :)
And two years later, it's on sale for $2.99. Since it's close to Halloween, I figured a necro of this thread was in order...
