Obscurium

About

Obscurium is a 3rd-person point-and-click adventure. You guide the protagonist, Red Cross Nurse Mary Wellsley, as she explores rooms collecting items and solving simple puzzles. All the while she unravels the mystery of this bizarre place and the fate of her fellow nurse and closest friend, Nancy.

Storyline

You open your eyes to blur and shadow. You're standing in a stinking morgue, in a tent hospital on the grounds of a crumbling French mansion. World War I rages on the far side of the woods. You can still hear the shelling over no man's land, far closer than you'd like.

The wounded soldier tells you it was mustard gas. You can barely remember. There was a gas, yes, and a smell like rotten bread, but there was also a woman in gray, striding through the gasping soldiers and touching them each on the brow...

There are so many dead. Despite your damaged sight, you are able-bodied and have medical training. The injured soldier needs your help.

As you struggle to lend aid to the mangled man, You ask after your fellow nurse, Nancy. What happened to her? In your nightmares she's alone and crying. She's probably out in the trenches bravely doing her duty... and you know you must find her. Time is running out. For weeks a dark madness has been growing here. Figures haunt the windows of the house. A mournful piano is heard at night. Unearthly creatures lurk in the woods. And the patients speak of a ghostly child running in the rubble, dragging the corpse of an infant...

Thus begins Obscurium, a video game of quiet horror.

Nurse Mary Wellsley must face her deepest fears.

Six souls entrapped, forlorn
Between two truths their paths are torn
Six souls to close the door
And leave this place forevermore
