Camera Obscura takes the beloved platforming gameplay from the 80's and 90's and adds an innovative "afterimage" mechanic that allows you to clone the world around you in order to span gaps, create staircases, and freeze moving platforms in place. You are a lone photographer on a desperate search. You’ll attempt to summit a ruined tower – a relic of a fanatical sect trying to reach the sun. Face off against dangerous animals, crumbling architecture, and perilous pitfalls.
