About

Obitus is a role-playing game with action elements. It utilizes a first-person view for exploration, similarly to Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. One of the more remarkable features is in the first-person mode: rather than having just 4 directs to face and flicking between them, there are 8 directions and the view scrolls smoothly as you turn. This smooth scrolling continues when you move forward, giving the game more of a 3D feel.

The action elements consist of horizontal scrolling areas where you fight enemies with your bow while avoiding their attacks. Later you encounter a similar type of gameplay that involves exploring castles and adds 4 directional movement.

Storyline

You're in the depths of your own worst nightmare... but this time there's no waking up.

Lost and alone in a dangerous and alien world you must discover where you are, how you got here... and how you are going to get out!

In a frantic search of the unfamiliar land you explore amazing forests, mines and underground complexes collecting objects and interacting with indigenous creatures.

Re-emerging into daylight you race along perfect parallax action scenes, dispatching enemies as you battle even deeper into the unknown.

Impelling RPG with more than a dash of hack and slash.
