Return of the Obra Dinn

老天，玩下去才知道這遊戲一直以來都是壓倒性好評的理由，扮演一個調查員透過分析船上所有人的死亡瞬間來還原整艘船發生的故事，這正是推理作品中偵探真真切切在做的事啊！ 我當初買了結果不小心先看到評論某個關鍵字害我以為我被劇透了只好放到我記憶基本消失了才真正開始玩，還好這款遊戲的系統不是一兩個關鍵字就能毀了體驗，也推薦還沒玩過的人總之先去自己親自體驗，真的遇到瓶頸了跟有一定程度了解了再來吸收其他資訊也不遲 極度少見真正讓玩家能推理的遊戲架構 不像極大部分的推理作品都是讓人享受那個氣氛，主要還是在看故事，也不是那種塞了一堆數學幾何學等等，但動腦的部分跟本體極其撕裂，邏輯推理的tag不能說你錯，是這樣但不是這樣 遊戲的1bit風格雖然有點花費眼力，但確實是獨樹一格且很有獨特的魅力，雖然我覺得有時候“看不清楚”這點在一款推理遊戲裡面算是缺點 設定上你要完成每個人的身分比對，還有他的死亡原因（若是他殺還要包含兇手身份），而全部60人中每完美找出三人就會幫你核對無誤一次的這個系統也很好的在不知道自己到底對不對的無頭蒼蠅與瞎猜也會過的無腦硬過之間取得了一個不錯的平衡 而且還要稱讚一下死因有些人方向對了就可以，不會硬性要你就是只能選那一個唯一遊戲認定死因，這在推理電子遊戲裡面也是難能可貴的優點，我想應該有很多人在其他地方體驗過“我的思路明明就是對的為什麼遊戲要說我錯”的這種無可奈何吧 要說缺點也不是沒有，雖然有教基本操作但一開始要做跟能做的事太少了讓人剛進入的時候會有點不知道該幹嘛 還有前面陸續初次解鎖回憶的時候步調也有點太慢了，讓我有時候會有點不耐煩 再來就是書籤系統我覺得不太好用，至少我玩到破關都沒用過，還有人物筆記會告訴你這人在幾段回憶出現過卻只能跳到第一次出現跟最後一次的回憶這點我覺得也有點可惜，讓我不知道他寫出現多少次有什麼意義 但即使系統上有一些瑕疵，這款遊戲仍然是一款極度優質的本格推理遊戲，讚的

Incroyable. Le système de montre est vraiment intéressant et l'histoire qui devient de plus en plus claire au fur et à mesure qu'on avance est très satisfaisante. Ce n'est ni trop simple, ni trop compliqué et même le fait de revoir les mêmes scènes pendant la recherche ne donne pas d'impression de répétitivité vu qu'on arrive à debusquer toujours plus d'indices à chaque fois. Le sound design est un vrai élément marquant du jeu, ainsi je recommande de jouer avec un casque évidemment. Le seul bémol vient des quelques (rares) fois où j'ai été un peu frustrée de ne pas pouvoir bien comprendre la cause de la mort car le style graphique pouvait rendre la compréhension compliquée. Mais c'est resté exceptionnel. Bref jouez-y :)

Insurance inspection is not a profession I expected to produce one of the best games I've ever played, and yet. Return of the Obra Dinn begins with a merchant ship reappearing five years after vanishing, everyone aboard either dead or gone, and the East India Company wanting the paperwork settled. You get a ledger and a pocket watch that takes you back to the instant of each person's death. The rest is your problem. The job is deduction with no scaffolding whatsoever. Sixty souls, and not one of them wears a name tag or waits around to be interviewed. You work things out sideways instead: from accents, tattoos, who's bunking near whom, the belongings around someone's bed, or the fact that the crew is screaming “Captain!” at one particular man, which is the whole deduction, because the manifest lists only one. I spent an embarrassing amount of time on two sailors I'd narrowed down to a coin flip, staring at the same scenes over and over, convinced the tell had to be in there somewhere, until I finally gave up on logic and guessed. The book never corrects you. It waits. Fates only lock in when you get three right at once, which means you can be certain about someone for an hour before the book quietly refuses to confirm them, and then you realize your entire theory rests on a mistake you can't find yet. That's the trap, and I could not stop. The 1-bit art does a lot of quiet work. Every death scene looks like an engraving, and because all you can do is walk through these frozen tableaux and stare, you start noticing things you would miss entirely in motion. The game hands you its ending early and never really builds to a twist. You piece the shape of it together long before the last fates fall, and it seems to know that. What got me wasn't any single revelation but the getting there: the way the last few obscure sailors fall into place on nothing but a shoe and a hunch, and the book seals them in like it never doubted you.

once you've played return of the obra dinn you never stop wanting to beat [spoiler] edward nichols [/spoiler] with your bare hands.

Its a good detective / deduction game where you play as an insurance investigator as you try to piece together what happened to the crew of once fully crewed ship in the middle of the ocean. The art style felt very cool at first, but slowly became problem as time went on as you are forced to notice every little detail. This art style really got in the way sometimes. Like it art style depicts black men as white at times which can be a real pain you are supposed to notice these things from skin color right down to the color of the sock! I had a lot of issues and was not going anywhere. But then I googled and told me to notice numbers on their hammock. That information helped me understand the game's language and from there I solved most of the fates of the crew. Some of stuff did I help and upon looking at it, I wasn't going to solve it anyways. So yeah, very unique experience , just wish the art style was more consistent and clear for the level of detail the game expects you to notice.

All the puzzling is about identifying the names/roles of the characters, which isn't a very interesting puzzle to solve. The interesting part (the story) is just presented to you. A clunky UI means this game is tedious to play, it feels like work. I can see this being certain people's favourite game but I am baffled by the Overwhelmingly Positive rating since I feel like most people would hate it. I guess it is only being played by people who love this type of game. I would only buy it if you're very sure that detailed detective work is fun for you.

내가 해본 추리 게임 중 단연코 '원탑' 운명을 풀어내며 진실에 가까워질수록, 이 게임이 어째서 추리 장르의 정점인지를 온몸으로 실감할 수 있었다.
