HiskiH rated Obscured: Through the Lens

HiskiH rated a game 246 days ago
A downloadable game.

I was a tester on this and it is really fun and evocative.

Pros:

  • easy, fast and  immediately entertaining
  • good theme and flavorful mechanics
  • just the right amount of scary for non-horror fans too
  • needs no rpg experience to play
  • good premade story structure

Cons:

  • can get  confusing
  • very group dependent
  • hard to play online

Neither pro or con:

  • narrative support is limited, so you need to get creative
  • no game master but you can homebrew more responsibility for the presenter if your group is not good with shared narrative responsibility
  • no conflict resolution mechanic so you might want to homebrew that too if your group has a lot of conflict
  • you really need to have the camcorder token physically visible
