Game Description & Features

The Obscurity are relentless, nimble and stealthy with access to various unique technologies to help them get the upper hand against their enemies. They are melee experts with many different stances and abilities, but they can also turn the tide of battle by using their enemies against each other.
Many game modes are available to play as well as the ability to run custom sessions. Players are provided with access to asymmetrical and symmetrical PvP game modes, challenging missions and engaging cooperative battles.
Bots have been created from the ground up to be highly dynamic and challenging across all game modes. Players are able to have custom battles with a mixture of bots and humans. Bots will also provide fierce opposition throughout single player and cooperative missions or provide backup and assistance when players need it most.
Loadout customisation options are available to players, enabling them to make extremely varied builds. Players can also hotswap weapon attachments during battle if required. Be mindful though, because your loadout weight class plays a major role during engagements.
A fully featured gore system has been created from the ground up to include support for broken bones, dismemberment, wound deformation, and procedurally generated gibs and limb caps. Major wounds and breaks are survivable, but you may not be very effective with a few limbs missing.
Get up close and personal with your foes by bringing some melee weapons to the fight. Blunt, stab, sharp and push melee damage can all be used to bring an end to your enemies if you run out of bullets or feel like getting messy.
Each map features a dynamic time of day and weather system. Weather includes fog, rain, storms, overcast and more. Battle can take place from dusk through to dawn, just be prepared when night time hits.
The game includes synchronised ragdoll positions to enable characters to be launched by explosions, impacts, throws, falls and more. They can then get back up if they haven’t been too badly injured and continue battle. Launched characters can even knock other characters over. Bowling anyone?

About Obscure Creations

We are a two person independent game development team who have been working together dating back to the modding community of the original Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on PC. We created a few successful mods for it, however Obscurity was by far the most popular. After working on the mod for around 6-7 years and a few years off pursuing other interests, we decided to form Obscure Creations. Soon after that we began working on Obscurity: Unknown Threat. This is our first standalone game project.
