Garbage post. The ship takes like 30 seconds to walk from end to end, how can it possibly be 'backtracking: the game'
The mechanic is largely using your brain, so...idk what to tell you.

It's a good game but not for everyone and not really my cup of tea. I did try though. But I do enough administrative tasks at work.
Play this game. If you have a lot of patience.
I managed to beat it, without resorting to walkthroughs or hints at all, but there's a lot of going back and forth between scenes, and watching the same things unfold many times over.
If you have that patience, then it's a fantastic game.

I'm not sure how the game is remotely an administrative task. It's not Papers Please. It's literally just puzzles. If you like puzzles, you'll probably like this game, if you don't you won't. It doesn't have some weird busywork or anything. Just deduction.
Cool! I will certainly have time to play this video game!
I mean, I will buy it and try to play it, but there's just a lot of stuff on the Switch right now. I've been playing a lot of Apple Arcade games too lately, so not only do I have too many video games in general, but also too many portable video games.

Is there a game in existence that is "for everyone"? :-)
I think it's an excellent game, particularly if you love mysteries, puzzle solving and investigating, but of course it's not for everyone ......... ;-)
I love puzzle games like Talos Principle, Portal, Baba Is You etc. But it just felt like more work with little reward in this game. I only played it for a couple of hours though, this thread has encouraged me to go back to it tonight and give it another go.
(And there's definitely some paperwork in this game!)
Papers, Please never really appealed to me either, but Obra Dinn is magnificent.
I think it's important to notice that while it is a puzzle game, it's very different from more traditional ones like those. The closest thing would be Her Story, where the gameplay mechanics are more in your brain than in the game, still it's also quite different from Her Story: there is a good sense of progression and there are things to do in the game.
From other people's commentaries and my own experience, it may take some time to get into it, but then there's this moment where everything clicks, you figure out 10 identities at once and start feeling like Sherlock Holmes.
Not yet announced, but looks like it will be in the region of about 20 US Dollars.
They aren't obtuse. They're not even "puzzles" in a conventional sense.
Yeah, it's one of the most enthralling experiences I've ever had playing videogames. The only great detective game.
The first one is revealed pretty early on, so you should be fine.
Let'd say that merely knowing those things are present probably won't diminish the visual awe and overall narrative
This is an absolutely great game and well worth it if you didn't get to it on PC. Careful observation can get you through a lot of what can be more obtuse identity solves.
It's one of the most ingeniously put together games I've played in the last few years. The 2 days I spent with it were incredible.
A fantastic, wonderful, unique game. It's one of those games that tells a story in a way only a game could. An astonishing achievement by Mr. Pope. Can't recommend it enough.
For those asking about the puzzles - this is not a puzzle game at all. While the overall story and who-did-what nature of a game is a puzzle in itself, you're not running around doing puzzles. It's ALL about listening, observing and putting pieces together in your head.

Let's just say I was very happy that I wasn't spoiled. It was a very nice surprise.
