Utter a Name

Fun, short, Obra Dinn-like mystery game.

Short and sweet, scratched the Return of the Obra Dinn itch well enough for me, would love to see more games in the same genre. I only wish it was longer.

I enjoyed this on a cold Sunday afternoon - it filled the time perfectly. Very reminiscent of Obra Dinn, but the story was very unique and intriguing. I found the controls a little hard to get used to, ad frustrating at times, but the story was definitely what kept me going. I would love to find other games like this, from this developer if they are so inclined, because they scratch an itch for cozy supernatural ameplay while using my brain.

The controls are a bit clunky and I was about half way through the game when I realized that I could fast travel and have easier access to the bodies and locations. Press Tab and you get access to the notes that lets you look at your progress - body locations found, event order, people to identify and clues. Activate the picture of any of those things (press enter or click on it) and you fast travel to where you can look at that specific scene. It sure is a handy feature once you found all the locations available. As for the mystery itself it took me about five hours without using any hints and walkthroughs to figure it all out. The game will tell you each time you have correctly identified 3 dead people and their killers, which of course makes it progressively easier to figure out the rest. I enjoyed the game but I am glad I got it on a sale considering it's length and considering that I can't see much reason to do a re-play. Its a play once sort of game. At least until my memory forgets I even played it and revisit it in a few years.

a nice little deductive game, twist at the end gave me chills. 10/10

Interesting story but I feel for a deduction game, details need to be consistent... Things like height didn't seem to be consistent and threw me off the correct answer.
