Just finished. Definitely feel like I "cheated" by doing a lot of educated guesswork but still felt detective-y enough that I'd say I beat the game properly. Like someone else mentioned, the Life at Sea sketch gives tons of information, more than enough for you to start winnowing down possibilities without necessarily knowing precise details. What also helped me a fair bit was realizing that in the dialogue transcripts, an X is next to any lines spoken by the person who's death you're investigating. And lol at people worrying about fudging the reports so peoples' families don't get charged. You're working for the East India Company, the OG evil corporation. They'll probably charge the families' anyway for the hell of it. Not quite the absolute masterclass in game and narrative design that Papers, Please was but still heads and tails above other indie games. Really hope Pope continues to make amazing stuff.

Bold Robot posted:Aleksei Toporov, one of the Russians, was shown falling off of a boat during the Calling, so I've got him down as drowned by a terrible beast, which has worked for other characters who drowned during various beast attacks even if not directly pulled under. But again, no confirmation.[/spoiler] The phrasing "fell overboard" worked for me on this one. You will also be told very specifically when there is nothing left to discover on the Obra Dinn.

Yeah if once you had collected all the non-Ch. 8 scenes you could just freely pinball between them using the notebook, that'd be great.
