Obscurio is a family-oriented cooperative game with a hidden traitor element, where players must escape the sorcerer's library filled with illusions and traps. The Grimoire player guides the team by pointing to details in richly detailed images, prompting others to select the correct path to the exit while avoiding misleading cards.

This blend of image-based communication and secret roles heightens tension through intricate visual clues, communication challenges from traps, and the paranoia of betrayal, delivering a unique experience in its genre. ---
