A waste of time
I think this barely qualifies as a game. You start with cryptic exposition with zero context, get teleported in a place where NOTHING works, and... And that's it, really. The doors are closed, the buttons and levers give you ZERO feedback as what they're supposed to do. Let me tell you my awful experience: you meet a guy that tells you to "restore the power". And I'm quoting it literally because that's all the info you'll be given. Alright, let's go up where I can see a few cables; nothing is interactible. Fine, let's go down and look somewhere else. Nothing. And then! As soon as you try to return up in that first place, the elevator doesn't work anymore. So I guess that's enough Obduction for me. It's the most awful game I've played in years, it looks like what an edgy kid would think a game is: Uuuh, it's mysterious, you have to get into it, uhhh. Very bad choice. And if you want to argument that "Oh but the original point and click adventures were exactly like this!", well, people didn't know any better. But they do now, so this kind of gameplay for 30 bucks is a robbery.
Is this helpful to you?
