About This Game

Obscuroid is a psychological horror puzzle game where you use a changing non-Euclidean environment to solve puzzles. Venture through a mind-bending liminal realm, use Polaroids to manipulate your surroundings, conjure your escape, or be consumed by whatever might wander the realm's vacant halls.

Manipulate reality:

Use mystical Polaroids to manipulate your surroundings: Open up new passages, conjure doors and levers, and make the world twist and turn in impossible ways. A window into an alternate world becomes reality as you align your view and place a new path forward.

Solve Non-Euclidean Puzzles:

Solve puzzles designed around a non-Euclidean environment: Areas loop around on themselves, corridors fold in over each other, and the world shifts when not observed. 

Test your cognitive navigational skills and spatial awareness as you conquer and master the mind-bending supernatural nature of the world.

Stay alert:

Overcome the psychological horrors of the liminal realm. In a world so vacant, a certain silence grows louder as an unseen void creeps over you. Be wary and stay alert; this place is not as lifeless as it might seem.

Uncover a dark liminal world:

Discover four handcrafted atmospheric regions, from the uncanny halls of The Hotel to the liminal pools and locker rooms of The Drain. Venture deeper as the world twists further and time and space begin to falter.

Awoken from a strange dream, you venture deeper, drawn onward by an uncertain calling. The world calls your name. Discover the dark truth of your existence, buried at the heart of this realm, and escape before reality itself caves in on you.
