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.

The art style grows on you even if you don't like monochrome graphics, and it's definitely more impressive in motion rather than in screenshots.

I say give it a chance, you're missing a cool game.

Remember that Curse of the Golden Idol is getting a sequel next week

I've only played Obra Dinn, but I similarly had a notebook filled with notes that I used through the game.
