Stepping onto a destroyed sailing vessel, your job is to determine what happened that led to the deaths of every soul onboard. You must match bodies to names to causes of death, and in doing so, you reconstruct a symphony of cause and effect through logic and process of elimination. There is a fundamentally unique excitement and satisfaction to that process that makes this game stand out atop the rest of the genre that this game itself created. Unlike anything before or after, playing Return of the Obra Dinn is mandatory for anyone who enjoys games and their design.
