I haven’t been watching Candela Obscura, so I have no context of this show. To those who have watched, how has chapter 1 been? Are you excited for chapter 2 next month?
I really wanted to love it, but I think it’s super boring. Everything feels so low stakes. And I guess the world could be deep and rich with lore or whatever, but as viewers, we’re not privy to any of that so it just feels so pointless and bland. Also the system somehow manages to feel both overly complex at times but also too simplistic at others.
A shame, I was waiting for them to all release on YouTube as the upload schedule is very spaced out and CR live doesn’t work for me. I can usually get an hour, maybe 2 before I need to sleep. I’ll give it a try, but I thought a more simple, narrative focused system would really let them shine.
I think the low stakes are just sort of built into it being an introductory story. It was enjoyable although parts of it ended up being background noise while I did other things so obviously not super engaging throughout.
Robbie was a delight, looking forward to the YT upload of part 3.

I’m really not a fan.
