Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Friday 29 May 2015
LET’S PLAY TOGETHER - Week Special
One game I would never ever have persisted with or even tried in the 1st place if not for the community playthrough here is Obsidian.
1st person-perspective puzzle focused games are not really my forte, especially ones that include large ‘mechanical’ environments & deal with the idea of AI & nanotechnology, so I was amazed at just how much I enjoyed Obsidian. I loved the strangeness of many of the locations & the subtleties of the story within the fascinating concept of this well-structured & thought-provoking game enhanced by ‘playing together’ with other members here.
The scene above that made me think “wow” when I came across it in the game is my very last screenshot of Karlok’s & my AGSotD year together so seems fitting that it’s also from one of Karlok’s favourite games.
Thanks for inviting me to join you Karlok to present AGSotD as it’s been a pleasure to collaborate with you. 
Thanks to all who looked at my screenshots & for any comments!

Yep, one of my favorite 1st-person adventures. 
I was a lurker during the community playthrough, which I enjoyed very much.

Thank you for making this year possible, Chrissie, because I would not have done it without you. And everything went smoothly… peace and harmony the entire year.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa
Peace and harmony - so good!
Thanks again for the interesting year to you both.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high diego but you never know - Karlok may change her mind!
Obsidian is still in my top ten list. It was a tough one, but ever so cleverly made.
Thank you for all your efforts, Chrissie! I enjoyed your contributions tremendously.
Karlok,
I’m looking forward to seeing your final offering tomorrow.

Thank you Dara100 & Lady Kestrel for your very encouraging comments! Yes! I agree Lady Kestrel that Obsidian was a tough game (especially for a puzzle thicky like me) but I’m so pleased that I got to play it!
I just want to mention that Karlok will be posting her last screenshot for this week’s special tomorrow but her final post will actually be on Sunday!
I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for the hard work of posting these scenes for the last year. I always look forward to seeing what has been selected for the day, and reading you comments about the game.
Thank you Chrissie.

Thank you Iznogood! & I’m looking forward to what you’ve got lined-up on the puzzle front from next week!
The Obsidian community playthrough was indeed fun. I’m not a big fan of 1st person exploration/puzzle type of adventures myself but Obsidian was interesting, and weird in a good way. I didn’t find the puzzles overly hard (though they definitely were not super easy or anything) as most of the stuff was very logical within the setting. The one part where I was really stuck was yet again not noticing a screen exit to one area. It’s almost always either that or a pixel hunt.

Not Bad Mojo, I’ve already used it several times and besides, Mr Z. has left the building. For a while anyway.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa

I’m glad you volunteered for the new AGSotD year, Wilco. You play a lot of games. All the newly released ones too.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa
Thanks chrissie, for finding and dramatizing those odd hidden gems I wouldn’t otherwise know about!
