“The great video game OBEY is a social experiment: To what degree are players willing to act against their own will in order to prevent somebody else's victory?”
Zeit Online “...this is a tense, fast-paced King of the Hill-type encounter where the balance of power is constantly shifting and is not always in the hands of the only person with actual weaponry.”
Hardcoregamer “Simply put, OBEY is one of, if not the best, multiplayer games I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing”
