From the review:
...The writing and voice acting are double-edged swords in Obscure: The Aftermath. On one hand, the developers intended the title to be a throwback to those corny and campy horror flicks where teenagers throw popcorn at the screen in protest of a character doing or saying something stupid. If the rest of the game wasn't so clunky, this would really help pull that design off. Unfortunately, with this clunkiness, players can't be sure if the bad dialog and acting aren't just additional problems with the title...
