Return of the Obra Dinn 2018

Is it still worth playing?

Lucas Pope's 2018 game for Windows and macOS, with later versions for the Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is set in 1807, and you investigate a ship that went missing in 1803 and has returned, finding the fate of all sixty souls aboard. A pocket watch, the Memento Mortem, recreates a death at the moment it happened, and a logbook holds the crew's drawings, a roster and a ship plan. The causes of death come from a catalogue, and some deaths accept more than one answer. Fates are checked only in sets of three, the last six in sets of two. The monochrome 1-bit dithering mimics early Macintosh games. Its deduction holds up today because nobody tells you who anyone is, so you piece together who was where and when.
