alt Hacker NewsFor people who are unaware "Return of the Obra Dinn" and "Papers, Please" are both games by Lucas Pope and they are both considered absolute classics and have won multiple awards. Well worth checking out even if you don't consider yourself a typical game-enjoyer. They are not typical games.

Papers, Please is an all time favorite of mine. I made flash cards to remember key bits of information and drilled on them to improve my review skills. Not many games would have me doing that. Never played Obra Dinn because the art style didn’t appeal to me. That said, if you like mystery games, check out Curse of the Golden Idol. It’s adjacent to these games from a creative standpoint and a lot of fun.
His website has many really cool projects he did for game jams. Really fun/creative ideas. Several became full games.
I've been playing FPS games since "Wolfenstein 3D", and "Return of the Obra Dinn" is the only one that has ever given me motion sickness.
Still finished it.
"Papers, Please" is a masterpiece. Obra Dinn I must have made some mistake, because it stopped giving me clues after way too few stories to match anything else.
