Return of the Obra Dinn
Mar 3000:47:50Tap to summarizeThis week we return to the foundations of the modern Detective Game Renaissance, with Andrew and John going through The Return of the Obra Dinn. It’s difficult to overstate the influence of Lucas Pope’s 2018 game on players and developers. It’s visually striking, and leaves the player to discover everything about this twisted tale for themselves. Seven and a half years on, this detecting experience remains a must try for anyone who can.Spoiler zone between 17:38 and 42:10Game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/653530/Return_of_the_Obra_Dinn/Discuss this episode or any other detective games on our Discord: https://discord.gg/CMxrckaqN4Podcast edited by Peter CrevierPodcast art by Lalita Gross https://www.linkedin.com/in/lalitagrossMusic by Atonic Music https://soundcloud.com/atonic-music

Transcribe →Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All Part 1
Mar 200:45:12Tap to summarizeThis week we dive back into the Ace Attorney Series, with the second game Justice for All! Andrew and John are joined by Lynx for a two part discussion on this Mystery Adventure. This mixture of Investigation and courtroom drama keeps pulling from a deep mystery roots while delivering courtroom theatrics that would make Hamilton Burger’s head spin. We talk about the game in general, as well as cases one and two specifically.

Transcribe →Her Story
Feb 1600:36:35Tap to summarizeJohn and Andrew dive deep into Her Story, what True Crime might look like as a game. From 2015, this game about sorting through interview clips to understand the disappearance of a husband has depth and secrets that we loved digging through. It’s one of the most inspirational games in the detective space, yet it only takes up one session.Spoiler zone is from 12:00 to 33:12, and I really, really recommend avoiding it if you think you want to play this game.Game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/368370/Her_Story/Discuss this episode or any other detective games on our Discord: https://discord.gg/CMxrckaqN4Podcast edited by Peter CrevierPodcast art by Lalita Gross https://www.linkedin.com/in/lalitagrossMusic by Atonic Music https://soundcloud.com/atonic-music
