I went into this game thinking I'd be a landlord and moonshiner, gradually saving up enough to upgrade my tenants living situations. I am now an illegal cat farmer, mail fraudster and slum lord. I preside over my luxury home while forcing my tenants to live in absolute squalor. I also occasionally break into their homes and play music at them until they pay me to leave. This game is incredible and the progression loop is very satisfying, the intended difficulty forces you to accept the drudgery and pain associated with living in such a bleak setting however if you're looking to make more progress and enjoy a more sims style decorating experience, there are a lot of difficulty settings you can use to customise your experience and these can be altered anytime so you really can enjoy the game how you want to. I cannot recommend highly enough, stop what you're doing and start your adventure in Obenseuer right now, you will regret it but you will also love it! :) Update: The Bazaar is finally here! Abandon your spouses, abandon your children, Obenseuer calls once more!

I've never quite took reviewing for a game seriously, this one deserves the praise. Man I don't even know how to explain this game to people. Best I got is you're the landlord of a half built apartment building in a quarantined district where everything is gray and everyone is miserable. You clean it up, fix it, rent rooms out to people somehow doing worse than you, and try not to die. That's the game on paper. What actually happened is I became a rat farmer. Oh man did I enjoy it. You can find rats in the trash, catch them running around, or just buy them out of a vending machine. There is a vending machine that sells rats. Nobody in the game thinks this is weird. So I bought some, put two in a cage, and a few days later there were more rats. Then glowing rats showed up. Next thing I know I'm grinding them into meat, putting it on pizzas and selling them to some dude on the top floor of an apartment block who has never once asked what's on it. It's not just rats either. Chickens, sewer fish, glowing sewer fish, cats (yes you can farm cats, yes you get leather from them, no I don't want to talk about it). I'll come to terms with my morales after my gameplay. My apartment is basically an illegal zoo with a moonshine still in the corner at this point. Oh yeah the moonshine. You can make mash out of pretty much anything and distill it. There's also mushrooms that mess you up, you can roll your own smokes, you can get a telemarketing job that slowly destroys your mental health (realistic), there's mines you can ride trolleys around in, and you can break into places and steal stuff. Just don't get caught because jail sucks. The comparison that keeps coming to mind is Abiotic Factor. It has the same obsessive attention to detail, the same crafting rabbit hole, and the same feeling that the developers put things in the game that no sane person would expect to find there. Every time I think I've seen everything, I open a door and there's a new area, a new gadget, a new weird little piece of lore, or a new guy who wants to buy something disgusting from me. Under all the goofiness there's a dark, deep story about what's really happening in this district, and it quietly pulls you in while you're busy feeding your rats. Haven't been this into a game in a long time. Told myself I'd try it for an hour. That was a while ago. I have like 400 rats now. 10/10. Would breed rats again. Already am. Send help. Send more rat cages. I'm actually addicted to this game, I'm immersed in this world, and I can't get out. Excited for the update coming out, play testing it has been a pleasure.

Obenseuer - A game where you get addicted to ducks and mushrooms... This game has completely eaten my life. At the time of writing, I have spent 150 hours of my life and intend to spend many more. The short version: You are dropped into an exclusion zone full of the homeless, sick and undesirables. You are given a tenement building for reasons unknown, a pack of cigarettes, 200 bucks, and told "good luck" The long version: This game has such depth and meaningful progression that somehow don't feel like "too many choices" at the same time as offering a ridiculous amount of freedom. The quests allow you to experience and advance in a steady and rewarding way. None of the core loop mechanics are required and yet I found myself wanting to interact with them. In fact the whole game is presented in such a way that none of it is required and yet I want to do all of it. The setting is top notch, the whole world has an unsettling feel. The people, buildings, locations, all of it feels like a real city and it draws you into the world. It's all coated in a sheen of post cold war, western European goo that seeps into the bones of the buildings. Crumbling infrastructure, collapsed social systems, a localized apocalypse while the world keeps living outside the walls. The survival elements are not overbearing but you do need to take care of yourself including your mental health and hygiene. All in all i have nothing to really compare it to... Life Sim, Management, Survival, Crafting, Economy, Psychological intrigue, Puzzles, Cleaning Sim. Obenseuer is a delightfully unique game that I will be hard pressed to find a replacement for. NOTE: The development cycle is slow and I won't sugarcoat that. I believe the devs are intentionally and carefully crafting this game and updates are regular even if the interval is a bit longer than I would like. The community and Discord are active and the devs are communicative in those spaces.

I played this game for 6 hours straight and accomplished almost nothing, feeling confused, lost, and desperately poor the entire time. There are annoyingly long load times between every indoor/outdoor area like the worst bethesda game. The interface is not very good. But I want to keep playing, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of content here. There's something very special here, this is true indie open world at its best. Its like if Schedule 1 and Voices of the Void had a finnish baby.

This game is seriously underrated and its Steam store front page is too succinct for what the game offers. Since I bought the game and tried it out of a whim, I haven't played nonstop since. You, as a character, live in a post-apocalyptic world where you have to scrounge through trash and poverty to survive. And all of the sudden you are given a building and you become a landlord. Your job is to survive hunger, thirst, sleep deprivation, hygiene, diseases and poisoning, vices and addictions, and even mental health while trying to collect materials and money to improve your building so that your tenants are satisfied. This gameplay loop is quite effective and addictive. And I find myself going through every nook and cranny of the settlement, digging through trash, gardening, crafting workstations, creating alcohol, cooking and baking, etc, to make money and progress my characters. This also happens in a backdrop of a mysterious story, and an intriguing and uncomfortable setting. Why do you want to buy this game: - You love survival crafting games - You like some touch of building or colony management - You like some form of RPG in your game - You are proudly Finnish (I am not a Finn, but I live in Finland) Would love to have more of this game. This game deserves a better audience. I would gladly buy expansions of it. And hopefully in the future there'll be better mod support.
