Club de la cartera de pedidos: Club de la cartera de pedidos, Junio – Club de retorno de la cartera de pedidos, Regreso de la Obra Dinn
Rule number one of Backlog Club: Work through your pile of unplayed video games one at a time, and discuss them with other people. Rule number two of Backlog Club: Don’t talk about Backlog Club.
Just kidding! Tell everyone. Please.
Este artículo es parte de nuestra nueva serie experimental., Club de la cartera de pedidos, donde estamos (Nintendo Life!) elige un juego que probablemente esté en nuestra lista de “juegos a los que deberíamos acostumbrarnos a jugar”, y luego nosotros (Países Bajos + you!) pasar el próximo mes jugando ese juego.
piratas! They’re so hot right now. O, bien, lukewarm. Maybe the temperature of the Caribbean Sea. hay Our Flag Means Death, the excellent TV show that all my friends are talking about constantly but I still haven’t seen it yet so no spoilers please, y… cierto es que, Eso es todo. But who doesn’t love pirates? Everyone loves pirates, todo el tiempo. I will take any excuse to look at pirates, or to wear shirts with frilly lace sleeves and tight laced trousers, since that’s apparently what pirates wear. Yarrr, etc.
This month, it’s time to, uh, hoist the mainsail and weigh anchor (?) because we’re going piratical with June’s choice of Backlog Club game: que hacerlo tu mismo!
Return of the Obra Dinn is a game by Lucas Pope, the developer that also made the excellent Documentos, Please, and it’s a little hard to neatly describe. It’s a logical deduction game where you play an unsuspecting insurance claims adjuster, sent to investigate a mysteriously empty ship full of bones.
You have in your possession two items: The ship’s ledger, which informs you of all the names of the lads on board, all of whom are now, lo adivinaste, piles of bones; and a strange watch with spooooooky potestades. For various reasons, you have to match the piles of bones to the names in the book, and how they died, because that’s how insurance works, No lo sé. no te preocupes por eso! It’s more fun than it sounds!!!
Where to get Return of the Obra Dinn
The prices vary quite a lot for this one between platforms if you’re not in the US, so choose whichever one works best for you! But don’t steal it. We’re not those kind of pirates.

Next Month’s Game
Cor, it’s already almost July, and then it’ll be August, and then it’s fundamentalmente Navidad. Where did 2022 ir? Into the bin, if I have my way. Pero hasta entonces, let’s pick out our next Backlog Club game!
Last month’s theme was adventurey-type visual novel-ish murdery-games, but next month we’ll keep it a bit simpler: Modern classics that combine elements of platforming and metroidvanias! Si cualquier of these three are on your backlog, like they are on mine, then hopefully you’ll relish the chance to finally knock them off. La shaaaame.
¡Ay, and catch up on previous Backlog Clubs right here:
