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.

Features

  • A variety of disguises that allow you to take on the appearance of your foes.
  • Unique mimicry mechanics: copy enemy behavior to avoid suspicion.
  • Player-generated notebook to record observations and secrets.
  • Unique blend of pixel art backgrounds and high resolution characters.
  • Original soundtrack featuring a combination of live instrumentation and electronic influences.
