A Good Story Told in a Unique Way
Return of the Obra Dinn is a petty damn solid game but more importantly its a memorable experience that everyone should at least try. The story is not amazing and I was a little let down by the ending but I was never bored, it was gripping right from the start and will surprise you with some very carefully placed "oh shit" moments. The audio quality in general is amazing, music has great timing and is tailored to the mood of the situation(for the most part). The ques for when you go back in time are great as well, does a good job of building anticipation. Gameplay boils down to looking at a corpse and opening the watch or "memento morium" to see the exact point of death. At that point you can observe details that help determine who the victim was, if they died or escaped, and who/what killed them. Its a game of deduction and process of elimination(especially at the end) that is elevated by the stellar voice acting and character designs. The art style works for what the story is going for, its simple but charming in a rugged sort of way that gives the Obra Dinn a very distinct atmosphere of unsettling intrigue. While it may not have the replayability factor that Papers Please did it goes above and beyond when it comes to presentation and story, its one of those games where you want to erase your memories of it just to experience it for the first time again.
