Return of the Obra Dinn

1). Pistol sound effects are worth the price of admission. 2). This game invaded my liminal space for 3 nights while I dreamt in black and white. 3). Turns out, I'm a bad insurance claim investigator. 10/10

When I bought the game I went into it expecting just another point and click detective story. Turns out the system despite being quite simple is actually engaging some unexpected cognitive brain areas that to this day none other game I know of have achieved. Yes, there are clues, but they are not just buttons to click and carry on while the game explains what happened. Instead they are made to be actively sought by the clueless player to make sense of the slices of madness presented by the game's creator.

A good puzzle where you really have to get into the characters thoughts and motivations. The simple graphics contain a lot more information than you would think!

This game is satisfaction in doses. Finding the clues you missed and connecting the dots is addictive. It has a great story and is forgiving in a lot of who, what and hows. If you get stuck theres always the chance to best guess and continue on. A lot of the time you either get lucky or can estimate who's who. Worst comes to worst you can look up some things.. like where Morocco is.. yeah.. geography. It helps without getting a full walkthrough spoiler. In any case, I highly recommend this game. It's a great puzzle to come back to even years down the way.

Nice Mystery game, quite interesting concept, will keep you busy for a week
