Surviving The School Daze: Obscure

The press release for side-scrolling co-op monster masher Obscure states that the new title is a resurrection of "the survival-horror game from Hydravision that terrorized over a million players in the middle of the last decade." I do remember Obscure and its sequel but the multi-character school-based horror of the first did seem to live up to its title somewhat. The series return is less survival horror and more Splatterhouse judging by the debut trailer, and while it can be played alone, multiplayer seems to be the main draw.

Split up to fill your objectives as fast as possible, or stay together in a cohesive team to increase your chances of survival!

As you might expect, I've embedded the video below.

Obscure is coming to PC, XBLA and PSN this spring.
