In 1802, the merchant ship Obra Dinn set out from London for the Orient with over 200 tons of trade goods. Six months later it hadn't met its rendezvous point at the Cape of Good Hope and was declared lost at sea. Early this morning of October 14th, 1807, the Obra Dinn drifted into port at Falmouth with damaged sails and no visible crew. As insurance investigator for the East India Company's London Office, dispatch immediately to Falmouth, find means to board the ship, and prepare an assessment of damages.

Return of the Obra Dinn Free Download - Game Review

If you’ve ever thought, “You know what my life is missing? A monochrome migraine and the exhilarating feeling of failing upwards,” then Return of the Obra Dinn is the game for you. Lucas Pope hands you a notebook, a magic pocket watch, and a ship full of creatively deceased individuals and says, “Have fun, detective!”—then immediately walks away, leaving you to fend for yourself like a confused Victorian gumshoe cosplayer.

The game offers absolutely no direction beyond “figure it out,” which is bold, artistic, and deeply inconsiderate. You wander the decks like an underpaid insurance investigator (because you literally are one), desperately trying to distinguish between sailors who all dress like they shared one communal laundry basket.
