Lead a group of 5 American school kids stranded in their school facing strange events and monsters. The night will be long and survival difficult...

Key Features:

Co-op
Players can switch to any one of the five characters when nearby. A second of the characters also follows, either controlled by AI or by a second player if they fancy some co-op action.

Unique gameplay elements
- Obscure has more to it than just shooting zombies:
- The monsters don't like light, so you can use your torch or break windows to fend them off.
- The five characters have special skills: Josh is a journalist (he knows when you've finished searching a room), Shanon is a medical student (she can heal others), Stan's a bit of a lad (he can speed-pick locks), etc.
- Players will need to get to grips with numerous puzzles too (rewiring a fuse box to get lights working, taking objects from place to place in a time limit, etc.)

Added-value unlockables
Including a making of directory, music videos, concept art, etc.
