Papers, Please Dev Announces Next Game

Lucas Pope, known for his independent title Papers, Please, has announced his next game.

Through a post on TIGForums Pope announced that his follow up to Papers, Please is called The Return of the Obra Dinn.

Pope describes the game as a “3D first-person mystery game set on an East Indiaman merchant ship in 1808.”

On the forum post, Pope released a plot synopsis that reads as follows:

“In 1802, the merchant ship ‘Obra Dinn’ set out from London for the Orient with over 200 tons of trade goods. Six months later it hadn’t met its rendezvous point at the Cape of Good Hope and was declared lost at sea. Early this morning of October 14th, 1808, the Obra Dinn drifted into port with sails damaged and no visible crew. As insurance adjustor for the East India Company’s London Office, find means to board the ship and recover the captain’s logbook for assessment.”

Pope states that he expects the game to take him around six months to complete.
