Evaluation

Obenseuer has been in Early Access since December 2018 and remains actively in development with no 1.0 release announced. The game has received two major district expansions since its overhaul: the Obenseuer Overhaul (November 17, 2023) and the Mines District update (January 16, 2025). After the Mines release, the developer began work on the next major expansion: The Bazaar, a new district that will be larger than the Mines and starting area combined, featuring over 50 locations including a movie theater, casino, spa, internet café, and tunnel networks connecting to previous areas. Developer blog posts published on March 26, 2025, August 8, 2025, March 20, 2026, and June 19, 2026 have documented steady progress. The June 19, 2026 post — the most recent communication — confirmed that all Bazaar locations are now complete and that the team is actively working on story content, describing it as the "likely final devblog before the Bazaar finally drops." A December 18, 2025 feature patch also shipped around 100 new items, new plants, crafting improvements, and gameplay systems as a standalone update while Bazaar development continued. The developer has maintained consistent and frequent communication throughout 2025 and into 2026, with no indication that development is winding down or that a 1.0 release is imminent.

About this game

You have been forced to relocate to Stalburg's most notorious and chaotic district, now under a strict quarantine regime where no one is allowed to leave.

You're left there to cope with depression, addiction, and perhaps even a lethal disease. Survival won't be easy, but remember: the only way is up!

Become the landlord of a run-down tenement

Due to a clerical error, you have received full ownership of an unfinished apartment building.

This rathole will serve as the base of operations for your future empire.

Upgrade and maintain the building, lease apartments to Obenseuer's quirky inhabitants, and build facilities for your growing businesses.

Decorate your apartment and equip your workshop

Time to make those barren, cold concrete rooms look nice and cozy.

You can purchase and craft a wide variety of furniture and manufacturing equipment and place them freely wherever you like.

The building's basement has enough space for a proper factory of your own.

Grow turnips

Despite the darkness, cold, and wetness of a depressing November, farming is still possible!

Grow turnips, potatoes, and more, and turn them into liquid gold for a hefty profit.

Considering one of the probable reasons you ended up in Obenseuer in the first place, you'll probably end up consuming at least some of your own refined turnip juice yourself. And, of course, having something to eat is pretty nice too.

Discover dark secrets

As you've already seen, Obenseuer is home to a myriad of weirdos. Quack! And there are plenty of even weirder and darker things going on beneath the surface.

Complete tasks and quests for various locals and uncover what is really happening in Obenseuer.

The secret ingredient is crime!

Steal, sabotage, and break in. In Obenseuer, there are no rules!

Actually... there are. And the jail, run by the local militia, is not a nice place. So don't get caught!
