I was genuinely amazed that such a low-priced title sported such wonderful music. Sound effects are generally great but Aftermath's soundtrack is where it truly shines. The game's sound design is also admirable. Several of the title's environments are highly atmospheric. Considering its low price point, the game looks shockingly nice with some excellent attention to detail. Aftermath does a number of things very well. Although most of the areas in Aftermath have an initially fixed camera to invoke atmosphere, as soon as you ready your weapon the camera will snap down behind your character to give you a clear view of the action. Multiple weapons can be mapped to your controls giving you some slack to fight the way you want. Controls for Aftermath are pretty solid, giving you a fair amount of freedom to move around and rotate the camera. The majority of the game is spent guiding two characters (from a group of around six, give or take) through small environments crawling with hostile creatures, riddles and the greatly loved ambiguous fog. I'll touch on the specifics later, but playing Aftermath was definitely an interesting experience for me.

But perhaps more entertaining is the unusual combination of utter cheesiness with genuinely scary and well-executed horror elements, similar to the teen horror films that the series draws its inspiration from. First, the aforementioned co-op elements certainly make the experience unique, considering that the majority of similar titles in the genre are restricted to single-player modes. Aftermath, like its predecessor, is a very interesting title. The surviving characters have started college life but soon find that their tumultuous past has yet to fade away. This next iteration in the Obscure franchise once again highlights co-op play and picks up a few years after the events of the original. Now, Obscure: The Aftermath has arrived on the PS2.
