Something is very wrong at Leafmore High. The entire school has turned dark and foreboding, strange sounds echo in the halls, and several people have mysteriously gone missing. One group of brave teens decides to find out what's going on... no matter what. They have no idea what kind of horrors have gripped the school and everyone in it. In the darkness, the evil has power... but add light and they can be defeated. Will they survive the night ahead?
In Obscure , players take on Solo Mode, choosing from 5 characters with different personalities, aptitudes, and perspectives. They can switch between characters at any time (as long as they are still alive).
The player can also select a second person to accompany them by visiting a "gathering point" in the game. At any time during play, the player can switch control between the first character and the second, accessing their special talents.
Players use various weapons, such as contact items like baseball bats, pistols, guns, and more exotic "special" weapons. Each gun or pistol has specific ammunition that is not interchangeable with others. Weapons can be swapped between characters, and found ammunition is stored in the group's reserves for sharing amongst them.
The player will also gather first-aid kits, discs (for saving games), keys, screwdrivers, and other tools. Other objects are required to solve riddles within the game.
