Obduction
(PC)
Obduction is an adventure, puzzle game from Cyan Worlds that places players in control of a character who has, you guessed it, been abducted. You must then explore an alien planet containing pieces of earth preserved in odd spheres, almost as if the aliens are making some sort of collection. Solving puzzles and staying mindful of your choices drives the narrative as you work to find a way back home.
The backdrops are stunning, and, like all great adventure games, there’s a new mystery around every corner as you learn more about the planet you’re on from hologram recordings scattered about the play area. Obduction presents a much slower pace when compared to some of the month’s biggest games, and that helps set this intriguing experience apart in the best of ways.
