And somewhere in a pile of journals and notebooks, I must have missed the clues that would’ve helped me figure out how to choose between the game’s good and bad endings, both of which are short and anticlimactic. Reveals that ought to be spine-tingling fall flat. But Obduction’s story lacks suspense and urgency. The few characters you meet prove endearing, despite their somewhat hokey acting and old-fashioned full-motion-video appearances. You’ll stumble into a strange new world in Obduction-and then try your best to get home.
