"La Obscura"
A downloadable game
"At sea you learn to fear the dark, learn to pray to whatever god you've got for a spot, a dash of light. I don't know how often they hear us, but I do know that they've got a funny way of answering."
Tasked with delivering a restricted package to an island off the Coast of Cubana, Raul Sol Blanco sets off onto the raging seas to earn his keep.
Navigate the open sea alone on your vessel "La Obscura" while avoiding cragged rocks and whatever else the sea throws at you.
Keep a keen eye however, as if a storm were to hit, your vision may betray you and leave you with only lightning to guide your path.
"The sea is cruel, but the sky gifts light to us lowly sailors."

I loved this, I hope to see more games similar in style or theme. I liked it enough to write about the game on my blog! Full review
cheers!
Wonderful, in terms of the visual content the art style is one that stands out and commits itself to your memories. The sound profile of La Obscura is certainly not lack luster when providing a dreadful atmosphere chock full of waves crashing into one another and the groans of a mighty vessel braving the open ocean. I will not spoil the experience but it was certainly well executed. I look forward to what comes next.
