About This Game

Enter the dream. Escape the dark.

In Obscura: A Sleep Worth Dying For, you play as Obscura – a small, sharp-witted girl wandering through surreal dreamscapes drawn straight from her mind.                                   

                                                                 

Every world reflects its fears, hopes, and secrets. Some are eerily beautiful; others… are better left forgotten.
Armed with throwing sais and magic scepters, strange pills that grant fleeting powers, and the occasional sarcastic remark, Obscura must navigate twisted platforms, lurking shadows, and dream logic that plays by no rules.

Will you wake her up… or keep her dreaming forever?

Features:

  • Hand-drawn, colored pencil visuals – scanned from paper for a unique, textured look

  • Seven dream worlds – each with its own mood, mechanics, and hidden memories

  • Sai throwing combat – precise, satisfying, and upgradeable

  • Scepter combat – casting magic with a scepter, keep the darkness away

  • Pets & Mounts – you can currently unlock temporary mounts and companions.

  • Platformer meets dungeon gameplay – a mix of fighting, jumping and puzzles

  • Multilingual  – currently supports the following languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, simply Chinese) 

  • Strange power-ups – from melancholy balloons to spiked teddy bears

  • Dark fantasy meets dry humor – emotional, eerie, and sometimes… absurd

  • Atmospheric soundtrack – each level tells its own story through sound
