A fantastic game made with great attention to historical details. What an interesting experience! The setting is great, I've always loved stories taking place on ships, and the mysteries themselves are so satisfying to unravel! The music sets the tone perfectly for each chapter, and I have listened to "Soldiers of the Sea" and "The End" soundtracks many times over, and I still cannot get enough of them, even though they are quite short. And this game also brought to mind some fond memories from my childhood, how I'd lay in bed at night with a bedside lamp on and read Jules Verne, and imagine the atmosphere of a maritime adventure in the faraway lands... And while the game reminds me of those times, unlike Jules Verne (or, rather, what I remember from Jules Verne's books, since it has been a long time since I've read one), I really like that 'The Return Of Obra Dinn' is critical of practices (and laws, for example, the insurance laws: how a murder is fined less than stolen cargo) of the marine of the English Empire. I like when stories are this aware of the historical times they are set in. Overall: a great experience!
