Papers, Please dev’s subsequent game, Return Of The Obra Dinn, due this autumn

The developer behind Papers, Please, Lucas Pope, has launched a brand new trailer for upcoming monochrome thriller game Return Of The Obra Dinn. It’s coming this autumn, and can see gamers tackle the position of an insurance coverage adjustor who should examine when an deserted ship floats into harbour after being thought misplaced at sea. Take a peek beneath:

It actually seems to be distinctive, however that sound design is what’s actually piqued my curiosity. That, and what higher thriller is there than a ship disappearing? Well, one which finally returns with out its crew, in fact. Plus, you get a e book known as “a catalogue of adventure & tragedy” and a bunch of previous maps and diagrams to have a look at. I’m very excited.

If you simply can’t wait to dive in and get hands-on with the magic pocketwatch that’ll allow you to examine the unusual fates of the sailors by flashbacks, there’s a demo available from a few years in the past. Though, a phrase of warning: Pope says it’s “not meant to be a proper demo of the final product, but it’s probably safe to extrapolate from.”

Return of the Obra Dinn doesn’t have a set launch date but, although the trailer says it’ll be, quote, “autumn 1818.” Until it washes up on our shores, you will discover extra data on its official website.
