Amazing deduction game, really enjoyed my time with it.
Was on my radar since listening to the Besties talk about it in their 2018 GOTY, and super enjoyed Paradise Killer as well. This one hits just as hard, although in a more succinct format, and really nails down that mystery deduction. Extremely rewarding, fist-pump shouting moments getting the three more fates correct screen, up until the point I started basically brute-forcing it.
Maybe my fault that the ending bits to me felt a bit anticlimactic and checklist-y though, because of my ending up brute forcing some of the answers instead of realizing I could look at things like tattoos, or shoes in the barracks, or rings, to figure out the identities. Was too focused on getting to the end and seeing what that hidden chapter was - which ended up having fun scenes, but slightly underwhelming compared to what I was hyping it up to be.
All in all, a succinct story, and someday might return to the Obra Dinn to re-experience it. In the meantime, the shared experiences on the subreddit and the memes will do it justice enough.
