We've also got another game on the back-burner to be released later: ABSCONDER
It's a fast-paced game where you're escaping the clutches of a totalitarian regime while having very limited vision & no idea about where to go.

Hi! We're obleak games, four friends that banded together to make games.

Currently we're working towards the release of In Full Bloom, a fucked up katamari-like about feeding literally everything to an ever-growing creature.

Oh, nothing, just a level design and art direction appreciation post of In Full Bloom!
Thought it'd be fitting now that fall comes rolling around the corner.

10/10, I would absolutely live there (as long as there are no building-sized monsters consuming the neighbourhood).

#levledesign #indiedev

3d scene of a creepy little town from above. It has a small neighbourhood in the center of a circular road, surrounded by some bigger buildings, a church, and hooked mountains. Beyond the mountains is an ocean, making it clear that the town's on an island.
The 3D models are stilized in a way that combines Tim Burton with Junji Ito.

At #Devcom, I played ABSCONDER by @obleakgames.bsky.social, a very fast-paced game about memorising the path and executing it:

indiegamesplus.com/absconder-pr...

'ABSCONDER' is a Stylish Flight With Limited Sight

ABSCONDER needs you to tear through a complex compound, making use of every shortcut you see as guards chase after you.

They made another game called ' In Full Bloom' which they pitched as "fucked up" Katamari and yeah that's exactly what it is. Certified Knoebel core.

Launches mid 2026 on PC.

'Absconder' is already a hidden gem. The game is about running away from a fascist state and you can only see what's in your field of view. If you die you see the map from above. Also big score board hunting appeal. (Currently I'm on the top spot, no biggy)

It's definitely a big inspiration for some aspects!
Though, expect more last second evading and less throwing people into each other 💪

Progress!

The Steam page for ABSCONDER launched!

ABSCONDER is about the hopelessness of an escape, the thrill of split second decisions and learning how to deal with limited vision.

Does anyone have any cool media or art references where grafiti / posters / blood splatter are visible on walls from a top-down perspective?
Especially references with a very limitted color palette.

Asking for a friend, of course..

screenshot of the top-down stealth shooter game: "Hatchet" by dharma games. It shows a predominantly white room with partial lighting, with the stongest color originating from blood splatters on the floor and walls areound two dead bodies.
