They most certainly do as the creatures get weirder and the plot does its thing. I loved the smashing through walls bit one pair of particularly hideous brutes hits you with in one early area as this pretty much tells you things are going to get quite unpredictable as the game goes on. Usually, flicking a switch or completing a puzzle will bring forth monsters, but you’ll often get the same result from entering a new area for the first time. Teamwork is also key in sequences where one character needs to operate one device while the second character, separated by some distance needs to operate or interact with another object. A tap of the triangle button swaps characters, which becomes important in areas where timing is key, such as places where you’ll need to use one character to pull another up before they’re killed by a fast-moving monster or monsters. When playing alone, the AI is generally very sharp, drawing weapons and aiming when and where you do. Movement is pretty fluid and the controls are intuitive, so no matter if you’re a genre fan or not, the game is quite easy to hop into. There’s a nicely designed mix of linear maps along with with lengthy, creature-packed sections that contain multiple pathways or in the case of buildings, a few different floors to explore and survive.

Each character has a specific skill, so you’ll need to do a bit of trial and error (read their bios so you know who can do what) as well as some backtracking should you choose the wrong guy or gal for the job. In either case, there are adventure game elements to tackle such as puzzle solving, lock picking, crate pushing and a few other talents. Sometimes the game decides who you’ll play as while other times it’s up to you to pick from who’s available. You’ll end up controlling six teens in total, sometimes a single character, often in pairs for the bulk of the adventure.
By the way, don’t obsess much the sometimes blurry graphics in this early stage – it’s an intentional effect that clears up when you find and guzzle that first energy drink.
Of course, this happens at the big school dance par-tay, which is where your first pair of meddling kids end up after a very creepy, effective (and thankfully, brief) opening tutorial that teaches basic movement and combat options. In the game, things go from bad to worse at Fallcreek University after those strange black flowers all the crazy kids have been experimenting with (they were making tea with them? Really?) suddenly burst to life, transforming nearly the entire student body into some rather gnarly-looking, body-chomping monsters.

Despite a few visual bumps in the code, the game both looks and plays great on the handheld and overall, it’s a hellish ride well worth taking… provided you don’t mind the “B” movie silliness some of the dialog provides. There’s a lot more to the plot than that, but this is one of those games where telling too much kills a few key plot twists. This scary single or co-op experience puts you in the shoes of a handful of college-age jock, loner and babe types who set to put an end to a deadly plague of sorts brought on by ingestion of some rather nasty black flowers.

Even if you’ve never played the original Obscure on the PC, PS2 or Xbox, Obscure: The Aftermath makes for a great slice of survival horror now available in portable form on the PSP.
