The controls are an issue on a qwerty keyboard, and more optimization is painfully required. That said, what about the game itself? While the clues are not straightforward, they seemed well balanced to me. The game failed at making it clear what is expected for the final ritual, nonetheless, I cleared it in 30 minutes and I feel sad for the victim. Since this game is probably made by students, it will say 'Well done!'
The core concept of this game is fresh and the implementation is good, there were a few times I was guessing as to what to do next, but that having been said I was able to complete the game. This was covered as part of this week's episode of Free2Play Weekly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Z2X_U6jrI

An interesting puzzle concept that really makes you think - I was a little too tired for it I think, but confident that I would have gotten there with a little more time and patience that I just didn't have while playing. Really dark story that I commend the team for using and the pieces come together as you explore and find clues. I'm on a QWERTY, but it didn't hurt too much using the arrows, but I needed to find a hint from someone to discover that F exited out of the ritual if you weren't completing with the chosen object. It's a student project and a really interesting concept. I can't be harsh on the issues in those circumstances. A very good effort with an interesting concept and good environmental storytelling.
Cool concept and setting, but terrible execution. Can't change commands and there isn't a proper (even ambiental) tutorial to explain how to perform rituals. I've reached all the three clues but can't perform the final ritual because I can't understand what to do and how to do it.
Игра 'Obscura' - это атмосферное погружение в мир старой фотографии и тайн, которые она хранит. Механика игры, основанная на взаимодействии с проявкой снимков и поиском скрытых на них деталей, оказалась на удивление увлекательной и оригинальной. Каждый кадр – это головоломка, заставляющая взглянуть под другим углом на привычные вещи. Визуальное оформление, выполненное в мрачных тонах и с зернистостью, характерной для старых фотопленок, усиливает ощущение загадочности и ретро-стиля. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет общую атмосферу, создавая напряжение в нужные моменты. Хотя сюжет кажется довольно простым, он умело цепляет игрока, заставляя гадать о том, что же скрывается за каждой фотографией. Временами прохождение может показаться немного затянутым из-за монотонности действий, но общая атмосфера и оригинальный геймплей с лихвой компенсируют этот недостаток. Любителям головоломок и нестандартных игр, определенно стоит обратить внимание на 'Obscura'.
Maybe its a bug but playing this game was excruciating. Not sure if everyone was supposed to play this game walking backwards but that was my experience. I had to play it using s to go everywhere. is this normal?
мда, скучно, не оптимизировано, не прикрутили vsync, а графон то унылый, геймплей простой, сюжет как сюжет...
I managed to figure out the first three rituals, with no guide as to what to do. Stuck on the fourth, gave up. Glad the game was free. I know it's a student production, but some better guides as to what's expected would be great. And ability to reassign key bindings.
Not a querty keyboard layout for controls. Fix that i might be able to play it.
