How does obsession work?
Believe me or not, after 500 hours of gameplay I still don't understand one thing - how does obsession work. All iknow is that one player is an obsession, there are obsession perks (like deceisive strike and mom). Also ik that some killer perks and addons affect obsession. I don't understand why sometimes killer can see obsession's red aura anytime in the match without any addons or perks. It's just like a wallhacks. Also, if more than one survivor is running obsession perk, then who becomes the obsession and how do you know if you are the one? Thanks for help.

i don't either.
I'm sometimes the obsession even tho the killer or I do not run any perks or addons that would make me the obs when everyone else as DS.

Think of obsession as a state (like broken, bleeding, etc... except the rules for it change depending on the perks in play), but there can only be one obsession. If there is an obsession perk in play (by the killer or survivor), the game picks a survivor at random to be the obsession. A survivor running an obsession perk 'should' always be picked over one that isn't. Some perks can now change who is obsession during the game.

It's really just a fancy way of saying one survivor is "it".

Are extra blood points awarded for interacting with the obsession as killer?

some perks speed you up by chasing your obsession and letting them escape, some the obsession has to die last or you lose your perk effectiveness. you do get extra points escaping as the obsession, so I am assuming you get a little more by killing them as well.

After researching a bit more, that SHOULD be the case, whether it is or not, idk.
It would make sense for the killer to get extra bloodpoints for focusing the obsession, since the survivors could use an obsession perk without the killer taking any advantage of it if the killer doesn't have an obsession perk.
Some survivor obsession perks allow the killer to utilize, but usually not.
