Play World of Tanks Today: tanks.ly/3H9ykUZ
School is a unique experience, for some it’s the best time of their lives and for other’s it’s a living nightmare.
These conflicting and confusing times are why it makes for such a great horror location.
Take any franchise, look through their various environments and you’ll likely stumble across a school.
Silent Hill, Fatal frame, Condemned, FEAR or Outlast, the list goes on and on.
That said, there’s not a great deal of horror games that take place exclusively on a college campus.

For me, ObsCure was immediately special from the moment it let me smash the window on a door and reach through to unlock it. After years of being annoyed by Resident Evil and Silent Hill refusing to allow simple and obvious solutions to locked doors, that was a breath of fresh air

@ZoomerStasi is this an actual quote? Because I don't consider this game to be "eldritch horror" at all and it seems to me like that's just an overused buzzword kiddies like to use WAY too much these days

I dunno, being slowly chipped away at til you die vs quickly being impaled and eaten? More brutal, perhaps, but it seems quicker.

​@@bugjams quickly is, indeed, usually quicker than slowly.

[@justmo6208]

​@nathand3468 I know this comment is a year old, but eldrich is used to describe something that is "weird", "sinister", or "ghostly". It does not refer strictly to something that is a cosmic horror (Cthulu mythos, for example) or even horror at all since its an adjective and not exclusively a genre.

[@adamsmoberly]

I’m a Obscure aficionado and I noticed in the science room after the crab monster, you went in with the tables and the monsters. It’s actually the easiest room, because if you smash the windows, the sun will kill the monsters (many rooms have this, though half aren’t useful, due to nighttime).

[@CandyManSC]

The fact that the headmaster wasn’t completely “evil” is honestly such a cool concept. I imagine there were so many mutants because after curing his brother, he was planning on curing ALL of them, every missing student from the past 100 years was down in the basement.

[@adamsmoberly]

Yeah, the way they made the teacher Walden mad after being infected was kind of interesting, since he seemed to want to protect the students, and I think he let the monsters out of the basement, though I could be wrong.

I don't know, he was cleary kidnapping lots of students to experiment on.

Im so sad about what happend with the franchise, these games were such bangers and a new one with current graphics and coop would sell so well

[@adamsmoberly]

I wish Capcom would buy the series. The first game remade in the RE Engine would be perfect, with the limited amount of characters, the short story, and the fact it has a RE feel would be a perfect house to host them. And keep the game in 2003, because it’d suck to change the time period, since I think it makes the scenario more plausible.

I actually was watching all the cutscenes from the game, and there are actually 3 endings. The bad one with the funeral, the one where the vaccines are used but then are attacked, and then there is one which I assume is the best, it has the vaccine scene that transitions into a scene where the camera pans over the school.

In case anyone was confused "College" in the UK can sometimes mean High School(grade 11&12) and College in the US often means University. Just thought I'd point it out. EDIT: 8 Months Later . . . How a mundane, throw away comment ever turned into a sub reddit ill never know.

[@SconeysASMR]

That's not accurate

[@chrisd6287]

@@SconeysASMR Lol, why not? It's 100% correct

[@MissCookieThief]

I'm pretty sure they do use the term high school in Scotland. For the most part, I think high school in the UK is just called secondary school and it goes from the ages of 11 to 16. College is the optional further education after you finish secondary school. And in America college and university aren't completely interchangeable terms either. Colleges are smaller and do mainly undergraduate studies, while universities are larger institutions that offer undergraduate and graduate education. Also, many universities divide themselves into different "schools" or "colleges" like how the University of Washington has the "College of Arts and Sciences" and the "School of Dentistry." You can be a student studying in either of those but you're still in the same university.

[@chrisd6287]

@@MissCookieThief look, I wasn't trying to go into a complete history of school terms and who calls what, what. I was simply stating this is the common way these terms are referred as. Basically, the main point I was trying to make is that in the US if someone says college they 100% mean University. And ok, I'll narrow it down to GB, not the whole of the UK but college is the most common term used for Highschool.

Funnily enough the other part that many glance over is the two barrel shotgun you can find in the gardens. It's in a shack, where you have to smash some wooden pillar in order for it to fall down. There is only a very brief camera view over it in the darkness. That gun isn't mentioned in the video and I am sure alot of people have missed it too.

I just played the first Obscure a year ago in a quest to finally play all classic RE style games and was surprised at how fun it was, even in single player. A newer sequel or reboot could be pretty cool. I like how you do some...well, obscure...games like this and would love to see you do SONG OF HORROR. That one is more recent, but it's an incredible throwback survival horror game funded by Kickstarter that came out in 2020 for PC and 2021 for consoles but has gone fairly under the radar: the Prologue is a little rough due to the episodic nature of development but Chapter 1 is good and the game just gets better from there, hitting a peak around chapter 3-4 which offers some of the best horror of recent years. Oh, I forgot the major gameplay twist: on all but the easiest difficulty, when a character dies they die for good. Each chapter offers a set number of protagonists with their own abilities and weaknesses and if you run through all of them you must start the entire chapter over. If certain characters survive though they can carry over to future chapters, like extra "lives" and all have their own reactions in chapters. It makes for some of the tensest gaming possible IMHO. But anything you do is always a fun watch.

I'll say this, Obscure has, hands down, some of the best monster designs I've ever seen in any videogame ever.

Man I remember playing the sequel so many years ago. This one's such a unique game, it has so much god-damned confidence on its style and setting, I mean look at those monster designs. Even a modern title like resident evil 7 struggles to give you enemy variety and originality in their designs.

I heard Kenny’s first line and I thought, “damn, that sounds just like that half elf guy from that DnD show.” And wouldn’t you know it, IT IS! Liam O’Brian voiced both Kenny in ObsCure and Vax Il-Dahn in Vox Machina.

Sam (Scanlan) is also John. The whole critical role cast are all voice actors, and they often get cast in games.

"We need a light source to read this note." Oh...you mean like the flashlights you strapped to the slides of your guns with duct tape?

[@bahmot9501]

I love the fact that you edit the „Silent Hill item pickup“ sound in so often !

[@BuiRoyValdez]

Now this was a blast from the past...I remember being introduced to the series with the sequel and only finding out about the first game AFTER. It was an under rated series that was actually really fun. A shame that the cliffhanger ending never got resolved...

[@falconizer642]

Definitely would love to hear your thoughts on the disastrous Alone in the Dark remake. The content that game gives would be golden XD

Actually, you can attack Leonard's second phase. Each time he's about to do his sweep attack, that's when you attack to cancel it.

I remember playing part of the sequel game on the ppsspp emulator and I absolutely loved it purely for the background sounds of monsters which left a lot to the imagination and really drove the horror as well as breaking through walls unexpectedly. Sadly had to quit though because it kept glitching like hell during cutscenes

[@novushumanusex3894]

Played both games a decade ago Still playing them And is more scarier than any RE games combined and story of the first game is flawless Very unfortunate that it was left at cliffhanger after Obscure the Aftermath The soundtrack in both games also add the horror element to its core Hope it will be revived someday...

[@brotbrotsen1100]

Was aftermath the PSP game?

[@rainfeller]

Obscure was FANTASTIC. Stan was the absolute man in the first one, I was so sad he wasn't nearly as cheesy in the sequel.

[@ratboy850]

You get a like straight away for that early Trap Door reference alone, I hadn't seen this game before and looks really interesting! Got to love the more underrated titles that deserve more than what they got.

[@sharkfinn0010]

Even though it was super janky, I heavily enjoyed the Alone in the Dark reboot game because it was the first time I'd played a game with such dynamic gameplay, with the interactive jacket inventory, combining pretty much anything you find, and just swinging things around for fun, honestly havent played a game since that could make me feel that immersed. Such great ideas, even if half the time the awkward controls and weird driving sequences were hard to bear, would definitely love to see a video on it!

[@nebuelle]

I started to watch this video, but when I saw the first 2 minutes, I decided to just buy it and play it blind. That was a great descicion, this game was a blast to play blind and was one of the first horror games I've played recently that properly scared me.

[@squbax1022]

I remember watching a playtrough of this years ago, tbf this video just confirmed that experience was actually real since I didn't remembered the name of the game and swore it might have been a dream.

[@ValerieHeart]

Imagine getting immortality but you found it when you're already like 60+ years old and a principle.

[@slaebae3434]

I beat this game when I was a kid like 10 times. Huge part of my childhood.
