With in the Obscurity

With in the Obscurity is a first-person mystery about the deaths of seven members of a spiritual group in a forest on the edge of a city. Eight people entered the forest together, but seven were found dead and the eighth disappeared. You play as one of the eight members and experience the events firsthand.

The forest case

The seven bodies were found sitting or lying in different parts of the forest, dressed in white robes stained with dirt and fallen leaves. There were no signs of a struggle or suspicious items, and the victims had no external injuries. Their skin was unnaturally pale, while toxicology tests showed normal results. The families of the dead do not pursue the case and remain unusually calm and silent, leaving the deaths unsolved.

Some suspect a planned mass suicide, with the missing person as its organizer; others believe that person was the only witness to a murder. You collect clues, solve puzzles and use the reasoning system to uncover what happened and the secrets surrounding the case.
