Overview
Obitus is a computer RPG from Psygnosis that uses a first-person perspective and heavily emphasizes player-managed cartography. Areas are built to be labyrinthine and filled with useful items and dead ends, but the player character is limited by their stamina and hunger. By mapping and reloading the game, the player can plan the optimal route through the game's areas. Obitus also contains mild adventure game puzzles, with the player finding inventory objects throughout the world which can then be used to make progress.
The game was originally released on the Amiga, Atari ST and PC home computers in 1991 for Europe and the US. A Super Nintendo conversion that used the gamepad for the game's controls was released in 1994 in the US only.
