Interestingly Lucas Pope says he thinks Papers Please is a better game. As a method of telling a story I think it's as good as you can get - e.g. the gameplay in Obra Dinn doesn't thematically link to the story in the same way - but I'm just don't enjoy the game. I know: you're supposed to be bored, it's supposed to be unwieldy, you're supposed to be frustrated by the rules. But I just want to do something else.
