New one from yer 'Papers, Please' fellow. The look of the thing harks back to something: 1 bit, original mac style dappled black-and-white, but I'm struggling to think of a comparison for the gameplay.
It's the early 19th century, and a missing boat has turned up with nobody still living aboard it. As some prick who works for an insurance company it's your job to determine what happened to everyone. To help in this task you've got a pocket watch that, should you whip it out when you're over a corpse, allows you to time-travel to the frozen moment of that person's death and wander about there too.
I know I said I couldn't think of a comparison for the gameplay, but outside of video games an exploded version of Cluedo is the best explanation: your goal for each person is to determine who they are, what killed them, and whodunnit (if anyone). You've got the ship's manifest but tying the name to the people knocking about in the death scenes is the challenge here, apart from the odd exception when a flashback involves someone saying 'fuck off you Dane' and the manifest reveals there's only one Danish person on the boat.
Anyone else giving it a crack? It's making me feel thick as fuck, like I should be making obvious connections that I'm not, but it's incredibly satisfying when your deductions are validated.
