About OBEN

This game is not easy, you are warned!
Year 2545.
Mankind has found a way to travel great distances in space, boundaries are disappearing, but before travelling, maps have to be made.
Arsen, a pioneering astronaut in space exploration, and his artificial intelligence Galla, have been in space for months. They are part of the pioneers and their job is to light up the darkness of space through exploration.
With their mission over, Arsen and Galla were about to return home when something happens... They are pulled into a nearby system with such force that their ship is severely damaged, the strange thing is that the world they are in seems to be artificially created.

From this moment on, Arsen and Galla will be involved in a difficult adventure in which they will have to risk their lives continuously, in a world full of dangers and where getting the repair materials will be a real heroic act.
Follow Arsen and Galla across four planets:
-Oscar
-Beta
-Eco
-November
OBEN is a platformer, mixing an engaging story and puzzles that will complicate Arsen's existence even more.

I recommend to play the demo first. I feel OK supporting the effort that went into this, but TBH I felt I wasted my time. It made a bad first impression on me - the game opens in a small 3D hub with moveable camera and movement you can control, then moves to the first "level" which abruptly switches to fixed camera 2D and introduces some "charge to jump" mechanism, after which you're dropped into a simple maze (which your very slow movement speed turns into a 4-10 minute swamp), then the first of the 3D platforming sections. I've given the game 3 tries and it just *feels bad* to play, personally. From the screenshots there are parts of the game I want to see and experience, and I don't think I will. There will be some people who literally don't reach the first check point, and just from the achievement stats, not many people are getting hooked enough to go far. To me there are design flaws that make this a non-starter. I respect that someone made and presumably enjoys this, I would be very proud. But there is so much here that the potential audience is not going to experience. If you're familiar with some of the very challenging "hidden gem" games from the past decade, they fund…11 found this helpful

OBEN is a demanding indie platformer that leans heavily into precision, repetition, and the satisfaction that comes from mastering difficult mechanics. It frames its experience within a light science fiction premise, following a stranded protagonist and an AI companion navigating a strange and fragmented system of alien worlds. While the narrative provides a loose sense of direction, the game’s primary focus is clearly on gameplay, using its setting more as a backdrop than as a central storytelling device. The core of the experience revolves around tight, unforgiving platforming that requires careful timing and consistent execution. Movement must be deliberate, with jumps and positioning often needing to be nearly perfect in order to succeed. The game does not rely on complex control schemes, but instead builds its challenge through level design, placing hazards and obstacles in ways that demand precision. As players progress, the difficulty steadily increases, introducing more intricate layouts that test both reflexes and memory. Success often comes only after multiple attempts, reinforcing a trial-and-error approach that defines the overall rhythm of the game. Each environment …
