A downloadable game

Obscured: Through the Lens is an improvisational horror storytelling game in which the players unravel an enigmatic tale of an Incident captured in a lost camcorder’s found footage.

In the game, one player takes the role of the Presenter who is showing an audience a set of unsettling found footage VHS tapes. The other players take the role of the Victims who are the producers and subjects of the VHS tapes. Together the players tell the story of what happened to the Victims and how the world has understood the events preserved in a lost camcorder’s footage.

To play you only need the rules, a pen, paper, one die (d6), couple of friends, some imagination and around an hour of free time!

The theme is very well constructed and can lead to anywhere from horror to pure comedy and anything in between. Deffo recommend! :D

Biased playtester review: Tight and leans well to the mechanics to guide the story. Nice tool to challenge groups improv skills 5/5
