This sample definitely makes you want more! It'll be so cool to see all the elements come together in the final game. The core mechanics are solid. There is some learning curve to it that other people have brought up. Maybe if there was something relatively low stakes to start off the story so players get their feet wet before diving into a full investigation...? But on the other hand, it does motivate you to do multiple play-throughs the way it is set up now. I like that there are multiple avenues for uncovering clues and establishing connections. You don't lean on all the available options in the first investigation (surveillance didn't seem relevant in many circumstances, even if you attempt it), so it'll be very interesting to see how those factor in. It kind of reminds me of word or number puzzles where you get that dopamine hit when you finally unlock a new part of the overall picture. So it definitely feels like it's all heading in the right direction!
Thank you so much for your comments! We are glad that this early version left such a positive aftertaste! Since you mentioned it, there IS a solution that involves Surveillance (but I will not spoil it for you! :) )
Obsidian Moon looks absolutely incredible! The blend of deep detective work, psychological horror, and meaningful choices is exactly what the genre needs. Can’t wait to dive into the mysteries of Obsidian and uncover its dark secrets
If you want to play a good detective game that you don't just spam all the options until you win,but need to consider every decision so you solve the case in time Obsidian Moon is your game! Also huge positive that has multiple ways to solve the case or to find the clue! Gem!
Quite good feeling of the detective. Though I am not big fan of detective games, it has a good feeling of being an actual detective. Definitely needs a tutorial of somehow Because you get lost to the whole process. Graphics is a plus here along with the typewriting mechanic.
