From the creator of border control hit Papers, Please, this is a 3D, first-person mystery game set on an East Indian merchant ship in 1808, with an art style inspired by old Mac games. 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, 1808, the Obra Dinn drifted into port with sails damaged and no visible crew. As insurance adjustor for the East India Company's London Office find means to board the ship and recover the captain's logbook for assessment. It experiments with rendering, story, and a few technical features. It's a compelling mystery with suspense and twists in the limited space of an old merchant sailing ship. It won't be the typical 'collect items and look for clues' structure. It's grittier and less cartoon-like than those old games. |
