Should I play INFRA first? (Is OS a sequel to INFRA?)

[Lewis]

I was wondering if I should play INFRA before I play Open Sewer. If they aren’t directly next to eachother in timeline then I’ll just play OS.

Depends whether you like long exploration & puzzles games (in the reminiscent of an easier Myst-like but more grounded in reality). If you're here mainly for survival/management/adventure game the OS is, I think Infra will be easier to consume, and much more appreciated, if you play OS first.

On the other hand if the Infra itself feels like a fit to you, then you probably should start with that.

While not directly a sequel, OS does expand upon various small subplots Infra coined, but I think you playing either game first won't take away from the experience.

INFRA takes place in 2016 and Obenseuer takes place a decade later.
Many aspects of the story from INFRA carry over to OS, I you're looking at this from the story perspective, INFRA is definitely the one you should play first.

But if it's the gameplay aspect that you're after, as Nextej put it, INFRA is more of a "walking simulator" whereas OS is more of the survival genre.

I say play it whatever way you fancy more, the story will eventually make sense in the end :)

I dont think there is any need to play INFRA first.
exept that you sort of will spot a few plot stories (when that part gets implamented) earlier then otherwise and theres a few ingame referenses but there is no I dont undertand this because I had not played INFRA befrore.
as anything INFRA would explain will be explained in Obenseuer if at a bit later.

Story wise INFRA is worth it 1000%. Many people that take time to play INFRA say afterwards that they wish they could play it again without knowing how it all go's. Its a very intriguing and unforgettable story that makes you think about the world and what really happened to it.

Is it needed to play INFRA first to play OS? No, you can enjoy OS without INFRA.

Will it deepen the experience of OS and the lore of OS. Yes, it definitely will.

INFRA is worth a play though regardless. Its a one of a kind game, that if you give it a fair chance and read all the stuff you encounter and delve into the story firmly, it will grip you and make you want to invest the needed time to understand the whole thing.

Whatever choice you make, enjoy the journey. ;)
