Obscula

"Obscula" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game. Typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This is a pretty bog standard asset flip, a first person horror adventure game where you wander around the spooky house asset, solve some puzzles, get crappy jumpscares from a ghost asset... yawn. There are thousands of these on Steam (because they're easy for unskilled amateur developers to kitbash out of Unity or Unreal) and they're all terrible. This is slightly worse than most. So the visuals might look halfway decent at first glance, if mismatched looking in places. But that's only because the "developer" is using other people's assets. When a dev is too lazy or untalented to make their own art, they usually aren't capable of competent coding or game design either. That is exactly the case with this mess. The game is quite short, and can be run through in just 30 minutes. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. Next is pricing and what value this has for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $3 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. Even as a free game, this couldn't find an audience. With a peak of [b]only 8 players[/b], it's clear the Steam community took one look and walked away. They literally couldn't pay people to spend time playing this. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. I didn't pay money, but I still feel ripped off.

Its a bit difficult. That lack of sound control is jarring. Some prompts are wonky. All around, it was a scary game. Its a bit short, but i enjoyed it.

I am a big fan of the horror walking sim genre of games. This one is not one of them. It was far too hard to see anything, with no brightness setting either. Oh and about the settings, go ahead and change them... the changes do not persist and just revert back to default. No story. The couple jumpscares I saw were comical at very best. Ended up getting stuck on the numpad puzzle (which you had to single click the first digit then the next digits you have to double click the button for it to work). It is obvious what you have to find in the room and read exactly what this item is representing to you, but every which way you could conceive what the numbers are, none of them worked. Not worth your money or your time until the developer does some serious work to this project.

The moments that should be scary don't scare, and the gameplay drags on slowly. After a few minutes, you just want to turn it off.

O Jogo vem daquela leva de jogos parecidos com PT, mas não muito bem executado, joguei todo ele em live e foi um pouco decepcionante, mas ok

It wasn't scary.

Игра была бы не плоха, если бы была оптимизирована. А так похожа на P.T.
