    It is a true tragedy, that this game can only be played once. Maybe, once again in the future, I'll return to the Obra Dinn, and re-experience it one more time.

    This is one of those special games that derives nearly all of its narrative impact from how the story is revealed to you more than from the weight of the narrative itself. It's like Inscryption or Outer Wilds in that sense, and like Outer Wilds this game is best experienced completely blind. Like, Only-watched-the-trailer level blind. As in, stop looking at reviews and play it. It's a murder mystery, that's all you…

    This game is unique and has many positive qualities, but oh boy is it slow. If you have a low tolerance for games that make you sit and wait after you've already decided what you want to do, avoid Obra Dinn. You will spend much of your time waiting for animations that wear thin very quickly.
