About

The Company and Founder

Obscurity Studio

We are a small, solo-developed tabletop gaming company founded in 2022. We work and operate out of South Africa and publish our own games, articles, and videos for people to enjoy.

The Founder

Hendro is a computer scientist, writer, and game designer born and residing in South Africa. He is the only developer working on our products and is the one you should blame for any terrible design choices in our releases.

Our Products

Our first major product is Obscured, a paranormal urban fantasy game designed to be easy to play and pick up.

Obscured

• The Core Rules - Everything you need to play Obscured with your friends. This all-in-one book lays the groundwork to familiarize you with our systems and gives you the tools to participate in games as both a player and an Overseer.
• Sheets - Our fully scripted PDF sheets are designed to simplify the tedious calculations, and maintenance players need to keep track of as they play. The packs also include fillable sheets for Horrors that Overseers can use to challenge their players.
• Case Books - We release a stand-alone adventure every month through our Patreon. These case books are ready to run Obscured adventures with custom art, handouts, maps, and more.

Patreon

We support our games with monthly releases through our Patreon. We want to create a sustainable, long-running organization that can bring our community quality products for years to come. To make Obscurity Studio sustainable, we rely heavily on the support of our Patrons to give us the financial stability we need. To give back to our community, we offer the best value for money through our Patreon with our monthly products, bonus content, and more claimable with a monthly Patreon pledge.

Other Stuff We Do

We also release weekly content on our YouTube and stream on our Twitch. These channels focus more on gaming and our interests, but if you want to get to know the people behind our company, there’s no better way. It’s also a ton of fun. Check it out.
