Return of the Obra Dinn is a deduction game about a merchant ship that vanished and drifted back to port years later with its entire crew gone. You play an insurance investigator with a watch that lets you stand inside the frozen moment of each person's death. From those snapshots, plus a crew list and the evidence in front of you, you have to work out who every body is and exactly how each one died. The whole thing is drawn in stark 1-bit black and white, like an old Macintosh.
