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 can choose from 5 characters with different personalities, aptitudes, and perspectives when playing Solo Mode. The player can switch between these characters at any time, as long as they are still alive.
Players can also select a second person to accompany them by going to a "gathering point" in the game. At any time during play, players can switch control between the first character and the second, accessing their special talents. This feature allows for teamwork and cooperation.
Throughout the game, players will collect various items such as contact weapons (e.g. baseball bats), pistols, guns, special high-powered weapons, first-aid kits, discs (for saving games), keys, screwdrivers, and other tools. Each weapon has its own ammunition, which is not interchangeable.
Players must also gather objects to solve puzzles within the game. The player's goal is to survive the night ahead while uncovering the secrets behind Obscure 's dark and foreboding world.
