Obscure - The Forgotten Survival Horror 

I can't believe there's only 2 videos left in Shocktober, hope you enjoy this new installment - see you soon bit.ly/shocktober2022

This is the most "early 2000's american college" vibes game I have ever seen. Naturally, it's made by a French studio lol

The "I'M KENNY MATTHEWS" as Kenny is being beaten to death by a horrifying monster sent me reeling

I DIDN’T THINK ANYBODY KNEW ABOUT THIS GAME HOLY SHIT HE’S DIGGING DEEP

Hearing the voices of sam riegel and liam o'brien so clearly is strange in such an old game.

indeimaus is the kind of person to unleash horrors onto unsuspecting high-schoolers

When every cutscene plays out like Tommy Wiseau purchasing flowers, you know you've struck gold.

I actually have a soft spot for this obscure game series (pun intended), and I still have nostalgia over how campy and fun they are. Obscure 2 was especially a great guilty pleasure and is surprisingly solid for being a cheap mishmash of different popular games

"I lived bitch, full recovery." Can't stop, I'm crying at that one. xD Been months thinking about that bit just to suddenly be hit by this!

Yay Sallie, feels like its been years since we last heard her

Oh God this is so nostalgic, I remember playing this gem of a game back when I was like 6 yo with my dad, thank you Maus, always rocking it in shocktober

This game feels like a passion project and I love it.

"I'm Kenny Matthews!" is the best line in this whole damn playthrough. Perfect timing. *chef's kiss*

The bit at 16:18 was fantastic. The "full recovery bitch" actually broke me

Never get tired of all the cool intros.

Man, that intro song really did make this feel like a early 2000s horror movie. i was born in 01 but man do i still feel like im living in that era sometimes with the music i listen to

My mom and I were constantly buying bargain bin horror games when I was little, so nearly every time a RU-vidr does a "The Horror Game YOU NEVER PLAYED" video, I'm just like "Oh neat, that game was a huge part of my childhood."

The Sallie cameos always make me happy. :3

I love the cheesy monster horror motif of this game. Such a charm to watch

Thanks for the hard work you keep putting in maus. You're running one of the most entertaining channels on RU-vid and Shocktober proves that every year. Keep it up.

Sallie got me on demon mode with the outro

The thumbnail artist always knocks it out of the park for these videos XD I love the expression of that girl in the thumbnail, she's just like, 'wtf, are you REALLY sure you want to be doing that?'

OMG! I can't believe you've highlighted this hidden gem! I loved this game as a kid no matter how much its age shows.

Oh, I was actually thinking "I hope he plays Obscure" when I watched your Silent Hill Downpour video lol Glad that you actually played it, I'm looking forward for this video :)

You've got no idea how long I've waited for a RU-vidr I watch to do a video in this game. I genuinely like it and there's no better person than maus to play it. Fingers crossed he plays the second one too, as that's also got some cool stuff in it. Also the soundtrack rocks.

The Northernlion part made me laugh so hard

This is one 00s looking game. And I don’t mean the graphics.

Love the obscure series , pretty underrated games with banger soundstracks imo. I wish they actually made the third one and not that ''Final Exam'' game. I hope he plays the second game next year ^^

i loved playing Obscure 2 with a friend back in the day

Very happy to see you try that one out ! It's a pretty nostalgic one for me (might have been my second game on PC ever back in the days) so it's nice to see it again :D As always your editing work is awesome and can't wait for the rest of your shocktober serie !!! Thank you for all the hard work !

LET'S FUCKING GOOO, HOLY SHIT. I hope the big time companies decide to remake this one sometime... I miss it.

I remember playing this game as a kid, my cousins and I freaked out so much we let our uncle play most of it

How is this game not more popular, goddamn. I didn't expect it to be so complete, best game in Shocktober so far

Loved Sallie's plan at the end lol

I gotta say, you really nailed it with the late 90's/early 00's teen horror film vibe with the intro song choice along with the cinematic editing. Most people would try to 'modernize' it or keep it unedited with the awkward audio cuts in the pc re-release, but I'm glad you kept that 2000's energy in it by picking a different song that kept a similar vibe. (It is only now that I realize the intro music is the pc version due to them losing the rights to use Sum-41's 'Still Waiting'. Lol)

BROOOOOO THIS IS THE GAME I WAS LOOKING FOR SO LONG. GOD BLESS YOU DUDE!

"halfway through shocktober already" and just like that i'm in despair

Thank you for your translation at 11:49, first time I heard it was when I had this video as some background noise and all I've heard was "Pervert" had to get back and get some more context and got a nice translation. But it would have been hilarious if it was "Pervert" and not Herbert. 🤣

I wish this was more popular, played it with my brother back in the day. Trying to do a wire puzzle while my brother clearing the monsters climbing the ceiling.

I got my Sallie shirt yesterday the quality is so good! I love it, I can't wait to see next shocktober's designs!

UNREAL YOU BROUGHT THIS GEM BACK Love the Obscure 2 theme hoping for the sequel :))

Great editing skills as always my dude!! Give this man a raise!!!!

Man there really aren’t many youtubers i watch nowadays but you and a select few definitely make me eager whenever a new video comes out. Been subbed for a good few years but I really appreciate all your content man 🙏

Amazing work with the content, the merch. Everything. Always love Shocktober time, copped a poster this year, very excited :) the line up this year for games is also *chefs kiss*. Great stuff Maus man.

When that music came on at first I was like "huh, odd choice indei, putting Neir music over this game" 😂

This slightly reminds me of that movie "the faculty" an actual ok teenie bopper "horror' movie that starred a bunch of big name thirty year olds in high school

that's some old memories you've just unlocked in my brain, i remember a friend from when i was a kid who played this game in front of me the one time i went at his house, i didn't knew what game it was, lost contact shortly after and never got a chance to play this game again, then forgot about it, 15 years later i find it here and it's atmosphere hits me almost the same as it did the first time, i've got to give this game a try anyways, i'm just glad the original maus could resist bullets after all great video as always :)

Love theses videos and this channel so much keep up the great work my dude

Ok all jokes aside French devs/directors REALLY know how to find some top quality angsty guitar riffs for their American horror dramas

I had to rent this game about 4 times to beat it but man it’s such a good game. Also playing with someone was always a good time! Glad you’re playing it:)

This is the closest I'll ever feel like a youtuber is talking to me "You sweet, sweet little child Joshua."

This has to be one of his best thumbnails

I can see why it was forgotten, it’s pretty Obscure

Although it wasn't shown, the part where the courtyard safe zone got invaded took me completely by surprise on my first playthrough. Came back after finishing a certain task to find half the team dead

Your videos are such a treat as always

I'm so happy you played this! Not many people know this game exist! Much appreciated!

I loved it when indeimaus went and said "Im gonna Obscure all over these guys!". Definitely a massive moment in this channel's history.

Holy shit, this game was my childhood terror. I have so many scary and frustrating memories of this game because I remember how terribly difficult it was.

Oh my god, two more videos left in Shocktober! Some one call an ambulance! ...but not for me, Indei!

Bro I remember playing the sequel: Obscure The Aftermath as a kid with my siblings. So many memories.

Completely forgotten game, General sam only made a 1 Million view, 30 minute video on it last year.

Glad to see Sallie back!

That's one of the horror games me and my friends found second-hand on a flea market way back around 2006, I remember how trippy and weird but cool it was! Thanks for this Shocktober gem Maus!

I had completely forgot this game existed, this brought back vague memories of playing this game on my wii like 12 years ago lol

This game looks pretty good for its age. I like that it seems almost blurry but not cartoony

The dang ol' silverfish got me so good.

Another great day to be alive! When I wake up and know I can watch one of your videos it makes my day👌🏼

Duuuudeee I thought legit no one remembered this game!! Thanks for making a video about it!

Always nice to see Sallie make an appearance

Damn , maybe it's nostalgia speaking but this game was fire in the early ps2 era 😆

Played the shit out of this in middle school with the homies. The Sum 41 intro is nostalgic as fuck.

Shocktober always makes my birthday month a joy. Like getting weekly presents with the vids and I can always get myself some drip. Honestly one of the best channels on the platform.

I'm so happy that you exist. Please, never stop doing what you do! Ilu and I'm not the only one who feels like that!

obscure holy fuck, i played this with my father when i was a child. even today i have them on steam just because. thanks indei for the memories

A new Shocktober video and some coffee to start my Saturday morning? Going to be a fantastic day!

You do such a good job with the intros it's so hard to differentiate the game and your edits

I have fond memories of these games, I'm so happy he played this 😄😄♥

This is really a obscure horror game indeed.

If you succeed in making Kenny escape the monster in the 1st sequence, there will be a new cutscene showing him climb the ladder but still get lock by someone else. This game had many cool ideas included multiple endings based on how many characters survive. Also, there is no true main characters because any of them can be die by monsters or some sequences if you are careless. And when you found their friends body, the character you control will cry or feel sorry for their fate. Really neat. The 2nd one is more linear than giving the freedom like the 1st one did. But the thing I love most about this franchise is the ability to play local coop with your friend. Rarely see the horror games to include this feature.

Hey Indeimaus, just wanted to say shocktober is awesome and thanks! Watching your videos has singlehandedly gotten me back into playing video games, especially the classics. In the past month I've beaten RE1R/RE2R/RE3R, Tormented Souls and Dark Souls III.

your content is refreshing and so humorous. The way you edit you videos is *chief kiss*

my sis bought me this game with metal gear solid 3 for no reason she said that the seller told her that its a shooter too so she bought that and i was like' why are we still here just to suffer' 😂 anyway great vid! ❤

This is awesome i just found out about this game recently and started playin it . So cool ur doin a vid on it .

I can't get over how smooth the basketball animation is in the intro. So many frames!

I'll never forget the time I played through this game with a girl I was dating at the time, and she made fun of me the entire time for looking and acting exactly like Josh while also being named Josh myself.

It's a shame I only played the second game, but man it's such a good time

Absolute banger as per usual! Obscure was my introduction into Survival horror so to watch you play it is a freaking delight mate! Hope you take the time to play Obscure 2 Was the way I introduced my brother into survival horror with its Co-Op feature.

i remember absolutely loving this game and its sequel when i was younger, played em all the time with my friends and family. I wish they were remembered more nowadays

Obscure is a pretty obscure game

who did the thumbnail art for this vid? its insanely good

I'm glad you did this. I only got to play obscure 2 back in the day

This is the game that defined "Survival Horror boss music" for me with all the spooky choirs in the back.

Btw who does the animations for this channel? Is that all Indeimaus or does he have an editor/animator who does them? They’re AMAZING, and I’m always left baffled by how great they look and how much style oozes out from every single frame! I’d like to properly be able to show them my appreciation for their awesome work!

guess you could say this game was pretty obscure

Love the editing!

ooh I remember this game, but never got to actually play it or watch a full lp of it, always looked interesting, good to see it again :3

Obscure is definitely not one of the great horror games, but it is still a fun one. I love the music, atmosphere and setting, sadly the story and the character swaping aren't that fleshed out. A new game or reboot would be nice, maybe the IP gets revived thanks to the resurgence of interest in horror games.

Nice, this game really deserve some more attention. Unlike the sequel...

Both Obscure and its sequel Obscure: The Aftermath were total gems for the ps2. The second game was far more linear, but featured some revamped skill implementation and alot of creepshow level throwback.

I just before October finished streaming this game with a friend over steams Remote Play. It was a glitchy nightmare I wouldn't trade for anything and it really makes me happy to see you playing it as well Indei~
