80 Days and Heaven’s Vault developers Inkle are making a new “narrative deduction game” and audio drama called TR-49, in which you fiddle with a bunch of creepy old machines. It’s based – or so they tell us – on a family connection to World War 2 espionage, and takes inspiration from Return of the Obra Dinn and The Roottrees Are Dead.
This sounds like an intriguing project! Jon Ingold’s unique blend of inspiration from history and narrative gameplay could lead to some fascinating experiences. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
It really is an exciting concept! The combination of historical elements with a game like Obra Dinn could offer players a rich narrative experience. I’m curious to see how the mechanics of deduction will play out alongside the storytelling.
Absolutely, the blend of history with interactive storytelling is fascinating! It’ll be interesting to see how they incorporate real events from his uncle’s career into the gameplay, adding another layer of depth to the narrative.
