Obra Dinn is so simple in terms of art, gameplay, and story, but it's one of the best games I've ever played. The puzzle/mystery solving and sense of discovery is top tier.

Babys first walking sim

YOU BASTARDS MAY TAKE... EXACTLY WHAT I GIVE YOU!

>>718862473
Why do people call any game that isn't an FPS a walking sim

>>718862473
That's not at all what this is, lol

>>718862473
It's not a walking sim and walking sims were a thing way before this game came out, underaged retard.

Lucas Pope just makes good games

>>718863549
Too bad he wasted so much time making game on the crank-cucksole.

>>718862492
Thanks capt'n

>>718863592
i hope some big company offers his a bajillion dollars to make game. its either shit or gold no in betweens

I still laugh at how i figured out the Topmen.
I assigned the guy with the nicest shoes the richest-sounding name and 2nd>2nd, etc. and it just worked lmao.

>>718864364
Pope said that he likes working solo. A huge budget won't do much.

>>718861554 (OP)
I found it confusing. So many controls.. Maybe I'm too stupid. I really respect it though. Looks beautiful too.

>>718866083
Most of the controls are just shortcuts though.
The only major control is left click + WASD, lmao.

CHINAMEN

>>718866126
It's been years since I played it. Wasn't there also a mechanic to look at your watch or something? And then also to click on relevant highlighted objects? I dunno.

>>718864546
Based. My favorite track too. It's so fucking memorable I keep listening to it plus the scene that triggers it was the best one.

Why did the monkey have to die?

>>718866303
Using the watch was also left click.
You could hold right click to focus on a target and see them in the drawings of the ship's passengers and crew.
The only other control really was tab to flip open the book (which would flip to a specific page if looking at something.)

>>718862473
/v/ is the most retarded board

>>718866575
Well then, the only option left is that I'm too fucking stupid :D
I did get The Case of the Golden Idol. Same creator? Not completed it yet.

>>718866367
Because you can only enter places in the past through corpses. The monkey was the only thing that fit through the window, so killing him while he's inside and then grabbing a piece of him and sending it to you was the only way you could enter that scene/room.

>>718867053
You ARE too fucking stupid

>>718867557
Just you wait until ||you get to the carpenter.||

>>718866083
the controls of look around and sometimes click on a thing?

>>718867270
Clever of Dr. Evans. Obviously he knew all about how the watch worked. I wonder if he used it in his profession, before the Obra Dinn.

I didn't like Obra Dinn at all. The only one of these deduction games I liked was Type Help.

It's painfully boring.

i must say I didn't like the default color scheme

>>718872095
oh zoom zooooooommmmm

>>718861554 (OP)
No detective/mystery game will ever be as good as playing this for the first time.

One of the negroes on board is listed as English even though the game typically relies on you identifying the nationality of characters by physical appearance. Wokeness got in the way of gameplay.

>>718861554 (OP)
I wouldn't say the art is simple, given that the dev put a lot of effort into making sure it both looked good and didn't give your eyes cancer, and I don't know of any other game with a similar style. But yeah, overall the game is great.

>>718872163
Me neither, but the amber color scheme looks beautiful and comfy.

>>718862596
The either don't play the game and think they already know what it's about from how it looks. Or some people legitimately think that anything that isn't an action game doesn't count as a game. I've literally seen people say Papers Please isn't a game.

>>718864546
Nearly unmatched presentation in this game. Other devs really need to take some notes.

>>718866367
>>718867270
Apparently he really really REALLY wanted to make sure the insurance was covered properly.

>>718873298

>hah! you racist! you thought the black guy had to be the assistant!
Well yeah, are you saying black people actually didn't have it as bad as I thought back then?

>>718866367
lucas pope is a /qa/ poster

>>718862229
that chievo sucked ass and the unskippable cutscenes as well

would've been a great game otherwise

I was falling asleep by the 3rd solved chapter.

>I wonder if he used it in his profession, before the Obra Dinn.
If he had the watch the whole time why didn't he use it on the formosan bald guy to make sure he was the real murderer?

>>718873298
>One of the negroes on board is listed as English
so? the manifest lists where the individuals are from

>>718874292
Sorry not the formosan bald guy but the italian dude, my bad.

>>718874292
>make a mystery game
>think "I got to have a mysterious murder!"
>main game mechanic means you basically immediately know the culprit
Lucas could have tried have it so the killer was in the shadows or something and you can to actually figure out who did it. This was something Golden Idol was better with.

>>718874048
He's referred to as "boss" in his very first appearance on screen.

>>718861554 (OP)
Is it just me or is the game a bit overrated? The start was hard to get through because you're forced to watch through two straight hours of dialogue while taking your best guesses with practically no information and not realizing that every 3 is a huge help. It is cool to see how everything played out even if it wasn't as interesting as it seemed once you reach the end. The coolest thing is the world beyond the Obra Dinn of monsters and magic because the ship itself is just the result of a single thing gone wrong. It doesn't help that like 1/3rd of the crew just ups and disappears literally. Most of the time, it wasn't difficult so much as it was just time consuming to recheck every scene and work through a truth table.

>>718861554 (OP)
It is super cool. I admire it immensely, and its creator Lucas Pope.
But it's not for me, puzzle games aren't my thing.

>>718864364
>i hope some big company offers his a bajillion dollars to make game
I don't.
A bajillion dollar budget means
-a massive team of people, too many cooks spoil the broth
-complete loss of creative control
-mandatory consultants telling you what to do, and forced on you by the publisher

More money isn't a good thing.

>>718861554 (OP)
Is it ok on the switch? I don't want to get up and turn on my PC.

>>718875565
It's more of a story game than a puzzle game.
