Description
Obscurant is a narrative-focused mimicry game in which you disguise as your enemies and mimic their behavior to blend in. You play as a curious robot exploring a mysterious world. Learn the origins of the Obscurance, and make friends in a dangerous world.
History
The beginnnings of Obscurant came from a college thesis project which explored the idea of mimicking enemies. This evolved into a pandemic passion project, which has since become the debut title for the new independent game studio King Brick Games. Over the course of two years, four friends have developed a game that reflects the confusion of our modern world while offering a hopeful view of the future.
