The mother seeds cause large spherical areas on the respective world to be swapped with the same volume from a paired world through the Trees. The player eventually finds C.W., an inventor from 1870, who has locked himself away to protect himself from some threat, and implores the player to help connect up power systems to allow him to return them to Earth.Īs the player completes these tasks, they learn from journals left by other humans, including the previous mayor, Farley, that Hunrath is one of four 'cells' created by the mother seeds of four Trees that are all linked across time and space to a Heart.

The town is strangely empty and seemingly abandoned, but hologram recordings of the town's mayor, Josef, reveal this place as Hunrath and that several humans from across the 20th and 21st century had been abducted across time and space to this planet. When they wake, they find themselves and a small sphere of the nearby area on an alien world, along with several other spheres of Earth transported there, such as a country house and a small early 20th-century Arizona mining town, all enclosed within a larger sphere-field that prevents them from leaving the Earth area. Investigating further, they encounter a seed-like object that immobilizes the character before they lose consciousness. The player-character is at a park at night when they witness strange lights in the sky. Many objects in the game can be selected and examined in a full three-dimensional view, allowing the player to discover possible hidden drawers or features that aid in puzzle solving. The game features traditional navigation controls for first-person games as well as a node-based point and click system. The game, played out as an adventure game from the first-person perspective, has the player exploring the environment of several different worlds, which includes a mix of alien landscapes and familiar human settings, solving puzzles, and making decisions that can influence how the game ends. In Obduction, the player's character has been abducted from Earth by aliens and transported to one of several alien worlds, with the goal to try to find a way home.
