Obscurity: Unknown Threat

Obscurity: Unknown Threat is a sandbox shooter in which gunplay, gore mechanics and player skill determine the outcome of battles. It offers single player missions, cooperative scenarios and online matches, with bot support in every mode. Players can also run custom sessions that mix bots and human participants. PvP modes include both asymmetrical and symmetrical options.

The game features a faction called The Obscurity, described as nimble and stealthy melee specialists with several stances and abilities, who have access to unique technologies and can turn enemies against each other. Combat includes blunt, stab, sharp and push melee damage alongside firearms. Players can customise loadouts and swap weapon attachments during a battle, and the weight class of a loadout affects how engagements play out. Bots are designed to oppose players in single player and cooperative missions or to act as backup.

Other listed features include a gore system covering broken bones, dismemberment, wound deformation and procedurally generated gibs and limb caps. Major wounds and breaks can be survived, though missing limbs affect a character’s effectiveness. Each map has a dynamic time of day and weather system, including fog, rain, storms and overcast conditions, with battles running from dusk to dawn. Synchronised ragdoll physics allow characters to be launched by explosions, impacts, throws and falls, to get back up if not too badly injured, and to knock other characters over.
