Return of the Obra Dinn

Post by ClockWise »

Here's an interesting new game that seems to be inspired by the dithered look of our old favorite Macintosh games.

Oh, hey, I learned that this is from the creator of "Papers Please," which is one of my favorite games of the last five or six years. Go figure.

I talked to the dev Lucas Pope about the game a few years back for a Gamasutra article:

Met him at PAX Australia last year, too, and had a nice chat. He's a big fan of the early Mac games era.

And we both talked to Alyssa Mercante from Ceros Originals about that b&w dithered aesthetic for an article last week:
