Storyline

Some strange things seem to be happening at Leafmore High. Five teenagers set out to search for their missing friend. They’ve found themselves locked inside the school overnight, and they now have to get to the bottom of the strange occurrences.

You'll take control of the five desperate teens as you explore the massive school and battle a number of different types of infected students.

At the end of the game and after finding out the conspiracy about the injections turning students into mutated monsters, they come across their principal. Their principal gets killed by a teacher and the principals brother, Leonard, is angry. He murders the teacher and that leaves Kenny and co. to defeat the biggest mutant seen yet.

After defeating him, you return to the gym and inject yourself with the cure. However Leornard returns. After a quick and painless battle, Leonard gives into the sunlight and everything is back to normal.

Leafmore High's Scooby Gang

Josh Carter born on 29 November 1984. A shy and reserved reporter for the school paper. He can tell if there's anything left to do in an area, such as items to pick up, or locations that advance the storyline. First received after the opening scenario involving Kenny. According to the sequel it is unsure if he is alive or dead but he survived the first game like the others did by the video that is found in a chest. Image File history File links ObsCgang. ...

Stanley Jones born on 20 June 1985. A stoner and a slack student at the school, he is able to crack locks easier, and with more skill, and he can and break into rooms as well. First received when entering the bottom left building on the map. He survives the events of ObsCure.

Kenny Matthews born on 30 June 1984. He is the varsity athlete, and Shannon's older brother, who is blessed with quick speed and a powerful punch. First received at the beginning. He survives the events of ObsCure.

Shannon Matthews born on 23 August 1986. Kenny's smart, younger sister. Shannon dresses provocatively to take the focus away from her brains. She provides tips on puzzles and heals other peoples wounds for them. First received after the opening scenario involving Kenny. She survives the events of ObsCure.

Ashley Thompson born on 17 January 1985. She is a cheerleader, and is also Kenny's girlfriend. She has the ability to rapid-fire a pistol, and deals more damage with most weapons. First received after the opening scenario involving Kenny. According to the sequel it is unsure if she is alive or dead but she did survive the first game by the video that is hidden in the chest.

Dan Dan is a student that was held in a prison and is playable when Kenny saves him, however he cannot help you for long as he immediatley gets killed when escaping a mutated experiment. He will appear again in the game clips as a fully mutated experiment.

While each of these abilities sounds useful, none of them are necessary to complete the game. Each character can perform the same physical acts even if it takes some characters longer and/or more effort than others. The puzzles generally aren't taxing enough to require much help, and if any teen cast members should die during the adventure, the player may simply continue on with those remaining.
