Obitus is a 1991 action-adventure game that throws the player into a dangerous fantasy world where exploration, combat, and survival are all part of the daily schedule. The game combines platforming elements with a broader adventure structure, creating a journey filled with enemies, obstacles, strange locations, and the occasional moment when the player wonders whether the correct path was supposed to be obvious. The world has a distinctly atmospheric quality, and progression requires both reflexes and curiosity. Obitus is the kind of game that does not simply hand over its secrets; players are expected to explore, experiment, and occasionally suffer the consequences of pressing the wrong button. Its mixture of genres gives it an unusual personality. Think of it as a fantasy adventure where the landscape itself seems to be quietly asking whether you are absolutely sure about that next step.
Computer Gaming World (1991): "Even with its lack of depth and without an adequate (or even useful) instruction manual, Obitus can be a satisfying experience. The fact that the arcade sections are relatively low-pressure enhances the game's playability as well as the chances that the player will survive. The program offers many hours of exploration and danger, and plenty to see."
