• One annoying thing about the game was all the waiting time after finding new bodies.

• Game starts out pretty slow but really gets enjoyable once you get in to the swing of things.

  negative · Mar 30, 2023 · review 135710145

• I really don't understand how this game is "overwhelmingly positive" when it's basically just 80% waiting around.

• The art style and wonderful voice acting had me at te edge of my seat as I took a peek at the different snapshots from the past.

• Art style is pretty good and the voice acting and music are pretty on point (although a bit too loud even on the lower settings).

  positive · Mar 30, 2023 · review 135710145

• The plot, sound, music, voice acting, and visual style are immersive and engrossing.

• Overall though, this is worth the price of admission.

• Easily worth the price and 5-10 hours of your life.

• Really if it's seems remotely interesting to you it's worth the price of admission and your time.

• I played it through and I fell in love. I was almost sad when I was done.

• The only game I've ever played that makes me feel like a detective.

• Through meticulous research and attention to historical accuracy, developer Lucas Pope has crafted a diverse cast of characters hailing from all corners of the globe.

• 简单的故事，也可以塑造出丰富的角色，设计成纯粹的推理。只需要打乱叙事，把线索缩减到近乎极致，加上颇具特色的画面，以及充满感染力的配乐。怪诞、狡诈、背叛、暴怒、神秘、意外、勇敢、责任、团结、悲壮、唏嘘、残酷、善良、牺牲等等元素都可以随意融合进去

• It feels extremely overwhelming at first -- you must identify 60 people, how they died, and who is responsible for their deaths -- but after figuring out how things work you make slow but steady progress.

  negative · Mar 31, 2023 · review 135838415

• This game took a bit to figure out, and the art style was a turn off at first, especially for a game about actual visual investigation, but I came to appreciate why the designer decided to go with this style.

  negative · Nov 30, 2024 · review 181066972

• at first it was a little frustrating not having names for people - being able to identify a whole chain of people killing each other but not mark any of it down because I didn't have the names of anyone was quite annoying!

• I have a handful of things I could nitpick (I'd have liked a fast travel system to individual memories, a note system might have helped, and I think the initial presentation of "what you're supposed to do" could have been better) but …

• I don't have many complaints, but the book could have been somehow easier or more interactive.

• - the way you shuffle memories is cumbersome.

• I wish I had started playing this game earlier in the day because once I started I couldn't put it down until I had finished it, and it would be better for me today if I had not been up until 6:45am last night totally absorbed in the Obra Dinn mystery.

  positive · Oct 31, 2021 · review 101988468

• This game is so addicting its hard to put down. I originally thought i would hate the visuals but now i like them.

• Just an very solid game that you'll lose track of time playing.

• The one gripe I have with the game is that once you’ve seen every fate, you most likely will have to do a lot of back and forth around the ship.

  negative · Jun 30, 2022 · review 117946737

• Having to physically move to a corpse every time you want to examine a scene can be tedious, especially when trying to cross-check details late in the game.

  negative · Mar 31, 2025 · review 191659925

• Some memories were also difficult to find, leading to some frustration if you step away for a few days and come back and are at a loss of where to go or what to do.

• First you have the incredible attention to historical detail, which makes the game feel immersive despite the minimalistic presentation.

• Best insurance assessment simulator I've ever played.

• The boat is accurate to the era along with the mixed bag of diversity on the ship, it was the heights of the British Empire after all.

• First, the controls can't be rebound.

  negative · Mar 31, 2023 · review 135838415

• The controls in this game can be finicky at times; I found that the camera would need to be aligned “just right” to interact with certain bodies.

• [*][b]Movement Speed:[/b] The inability to run or move faster makes navigation feel unnecessarily slow.

• The real issues lies in that some of the finer points of the deductions are really unclear and lead to some guessing (was this person spiked, eaten, or clawed?

  negative · Mar 30, 2023 · review 135710145

• The game is a true detective game, one of the best I'd say, because hand helding it's at it's minimum, however, after 6 hours, did not know what to do, or what did I had to do in order to advance.

  negative · Feb 29, 2024 · review 159554352

• This is supposed to be a puzzle game, but there is only one puzzle and no variation.

• ) was when I noticed that the voices and writing for the Chinese and Formosan dialogue was distinct from one another, and accurate both historically and regionally.

• The game's art style is very unique, the writing and sound design are superb, and the main mechanic is interesting and well-executed.
