i know i'm late to the party, but it's a slick little supernatural mystery on a 19th century merchant vessel. i'm reading through Lucas Pope's devlog on the TIGSource forums now.

also how do I autohide all the cyberpunk threads? you guys play other video games, right?

    I've been told that What Remains of Edith Finch is similar, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. You might like Her Story, which is mechanically different, but also has a pulpy mystery that you solve nonlinearly. Also Obra Dinn sort of follows in the footsteps of point-and-click adventures (not that The Secret of Monkey Island is similar tonally).

      I enjoyed Edith Finch but I wouldn’t say it’s similar at all. It’s closer to a walking simulator but does have some very engaging storytelling.

      If you haven’t already played it, Papers Please, another game by Lucas Pope, is also terrific. He knows how to make very mundane jobs into fantastic games.
