The Beijing Obscurantism is a peculiar phenomenon typically experienced by American expats who've lived in China for an extended period of time. Upon their return to the United States, they begin seeing their homeland through the lens of a cultural Da Vinci - observing the ordinary as extraordinary, finding profound meaning in fast food, and perceiving a Walmart aisle as an avant-garde art installation. This overwhelming sense of renaissance often results in a sudden urge to write a series of philosophical treatises about the profundity of reality TV shows and the existential significance of memes.

Get the truth obscura mug.It means "Clear Obscure" in English. So they are doing a Hym Iam sort of thing. And apparently the guy who did the score is some random teacher who was posting his music to SoundCloud that they hired (I learned this by way of SebbyWebz) and they KNOW the score is good. They are INSANELY HEAVY HANDED WITH IT! But it's brilliant.
Hym "I mean, if I'm being honest... Clair Obscur is THE GREATEST GAME THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!! There is no way it doesn't win an award for the story and best original score AND game of the year.
