When I picked up Obscure: The Aftermath, I saw it was a horror game but I wasn’t sure what kind I would get. This game has a classic B-movie setting that was worked to death in the 1980s– teenagers stuck in a very hopeless situation in a remote area of middle America, with scary monsters trying to kill them. The fact that this setting turns out to be in a video game is a big plus for me. (more…)

They will be free. (more…)
