There is no combat to be had either, but you can run and you can also operate some pieces of machinery, even a train cart at one point. You don’t collect objects in an inventory or use things like in any normal point and click game, but rather you will click on objects, pull levers and open doors. You play through Obduction in the first person, moving about the world freely. The writing and world-building are frankly excellent, with complicated and unique pieces of storytelling that combine scientific ideas with complete and utter fantasy, cleverly and entertainingly immersing you throughout. As you explore the new world you find out that this Earth is part of four worlds, and it’s up to you to go out, seek answers and find your way home. You are then transported to a strange alien landscape – a world called Hunrath – along with half the Arizonian town. You start the game in a small town in Arizona, suddenly spotting blue lights in the sky as a narrator explains what is happening as the world is changed. Obduction first appeared on PC as a VR experience, but unlike many that make the move it works brilliantly as a first-person adventure.
