Return of the Obra Dinn Soundtrack - Theme

This unknown soul met an unknown fate.

Captain! Open that door!

This game had so many "Eureka" moments, Lucas Pope is a god damn genius.

God, I wish I could wipe my memory and play this game for a second first time - the nature of it makes it just about unreplayable. The game just doesn't end until you've seen every shocking twist, pieced together what happened, and learned as much about every individual character as you possibly can. I can't call that a fault - the way the mystery comes together is the soul of the game - but it does mean that my only hope of reliving the experience is aggressively recommending the game to everyone I know trying to get a secondhand high.

Best game I've ever played. Ever.

That's still my ringtone. Over two years.

By the way, if anyone is curious about the bell-like instrument in this piece, it's called a carillon. The channel Objectivity did a video demonstrating one

I didn't know that the creator of this game is the same creator who made Papers Please, but I immediately recognized the similarity. This jaunty tune that reeks of a faraway tragedy has the exact same vibe (possibly even the same chord progression and/or musical motif) as the death music in Papers Please.

The middle portion is just "Soldiers of the Sea" isn't it? Maybe a little modified. That song is definitely my favorite of the soundtrack.

when the ship bell starts ringing at 1:16

I like how the theme seems to have motifs from the individual chapters scattered throughout it.

The moral of the story: don't pick up strange women in foreign ports or you'll end up with a bad case of crabs.

I’ve but one thing to say. Poor monkey didn’t know what was coming

me: "damn, i really wish i could play this game for a first time again" my short memory: "don't worry i gotchu bro"

Captain open the door!

if you don't have this on your music playlist we can't be friends

I always found the inclusion of a carillon/Glockenspiel interesting. Adds a certain something to the rest. (I do assume the whole thing is composed through the use of synthesiser software, but would be pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise.)

-LOAD THE CANNON -NO NOOO duchhh

I just realized that there is a connection between Obra Dinn and the series Terror and I can't unsee it now. "This crewmate met this fate" theme goes in both. Terror is amazing btw and everyone should watch it.

Company man woke me up, said you needed passage to the Obra Dinn
