This doesn't affect my review but, I was given a key to stream this in 2020. I played it to completion and have revisited several times. It is absolutely worth the price.

A puzzle game that relies solely on your ability to discover, analyze and piece together. No handholding. An epic mystery. Several visual options to switch to if you're like me and have sensitive eyes. Somehow manages to have an interesting cast, despite lacking the depth (not a bad thing) that most games insist on, in order for characters to be memorable. Excellent ambiance. Gave me great sense of accomplishment as I slowly, but surely, filled out the book and unraveled what once was.

An extraordinary experience. One that makes me somewhat grateful my memory isn't the best, so I can revisit it for what I know will be a cozy, engaging adventure. And a feeling I have sought after in any other game, since.

Yes, this is a puzzle game, but not your typical type of play. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes snooping around, searching for clues, hidden details, and figuratively putting the pieces of a puzzle together, through your own observations and deductions. I don't give games a perfect score anymore but Obra Dinn sure comes close to being the exception.
