#obduction — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #obduction, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I decided to start up the game #Obduction. A spiritual successor to #Myst. And ho boy... it's making my brain hurt. I can only wander around confused for so long before I can't anymore. :blobsweats: :psyduck:

  2. The #Cyan #HumbleBundle is out today featuring the entire #Myst series and Myst remakes (including OG #Riven but not the new remake), #Obduction, #Firmament, and classic children's games for $20 minimum.

    I have most of these already but I think I will pick this one up as I don't have Firmament or Myst 2021 for PC, and it's cheaper than either of those individually at full retail!

  3. We've recently been playing #Obduction, gosh what an exercise in mind numbing repetitive tedium some of the puzzles are. It's basically a massive walking simulator with just a bit of mystery thrown in. I suspect we may park it for #BG3 and never return.

  4. Finished playing #Firmament by @cyanworlds tonight. Pretty good. I didn't enjoy it as much as #Obduction for various reasons, but as always I recommend it for people who like MYST-type games. It does have gorgeous graphics, as always.

    Might do a blog post about it, as I have a few specific thoughts.

  5. @mrawdon @cyanworlds I never finished Obduction, I had a cross-country move interrupt my initial playthrough and just havent gotten back to it. I started #Firmament, but I almost feel like I should go back and finish #Obduction first.

  6. Looking forward to spending a bunch of time this weekend playing #Firmament by @cyanworlds

    Makes me think I should go back and play #Obduction again.

    As Obduction loaded up, it seemed like the kind of game I'd like. Kind of the polar opposite of yesterday's game, Kingdom; it's really pretty... and I found it deeply frustrating.

    At its core, it's a first-person 3D puzzle game. I like puzzle games. Right off the bat, the interactions with the in-game characters annoyed me. You activate these projected pre-recorded video bites, and something about them just set my teeth on edge.

    When you interact directly with an "in-game" character though, that really broke my concentration. The character appears pre-recorded & pre-rendered, and it's almost impossible to make out the critical info they're saying.

    On top of this, interacting with the various devices in the world momentarily locks your view on the object you're interacting with. Consequently, with one of the early puzzles, I gave up in frustration, only to find that I was *so* close to solving it, and it would have been obvious, had cause & effect not been disconnected by the locked view.

    There might be a reasonable puzzle game underneath the frustration, but I'm not sure I want to spend the time finding out.

    Obduction also works in VR, so I'm reserving a final rating until after I try VR, but right now, it's:
