Paul and I are solving mysteries in the fantastic new game The Return of the Obra Dinn right now on Twitch. It’s by Lucas Pope, who also made Papers, Please. Join us in chat to sleuth out what happened to this ill-fated ship.

Lucas Pope, developer of Papers, Please, has been working on a new game called Return of the Obra Dinn for four and a half years. It’s about insurance and murders on 19th century ships and today he announced it will finally release on October 18 for PC and Mac.

Lucas Pope, the developer behind Papers, Please, says his new game, Return of the Obra Dinn, should be completed this fall. It takes place in the early 1800s and revolves around managing insurance and solving murder mysteries. There’s a brief new trailer as well. Currently, it’s being developed for PC and Mac.

I’m really looking forward to Return of the Obra Dinn, the next game from Papers, Please creator Lucas Pope. The version at PAX West is much improved from the early demo you may have played, with a much more extensive “ship’s log” interface that lets you keep track of all the murder mysteries you have to solve by…

You can now play a very, very early version of Return of the Obra Dinn, the upcoming first-person mystery adventure game from the creator of Papers, Please. You cannot save your game, and there are no menus at all, but you can at least check out the (pretty cool) visual style for yourself.
