The Short Game

168: Return of the Obra Dinn


Listen Later

The Obra Dinn was lost at sea along with all its cargo and 60 crew members. Suddenly the ship has reappeared, but what became of the crew? In this intricate mystery deduction game you’ll use a mysterious pocket watch to see the moment of each crew member’s death and try to reconstruct each of their fates.

Return of the Obra Dinn is available for Windows and Mac on Steam, Humble, and GOG for $19.99. Expect it to take around 10 hours to complete, unless you’re some kind of puzzle wizard.

Note: Due to a technical issue Laura’s direct mic recording was lost for this episode. Apologies for the reduced audio quality.
