Lily Company Releases Unknown Passenger 47 Deduction Game For Free
A free, short deduction game built on document cross-referencing shows the Obra Dinn format being taken up by small Japanese teams as a self-contained, completable project rather than a full commercial release.

Game production team Lily Company has released Unknown Passenger 47 for free on unityroom and itch.io. The player acts as the person in charge of victim identification for an aviation accident, cross-referencing body records with a passenger manifest, dental records, and lodging records to confirm every victim's identity. Completion is estimated at two to three hours. The game is described as an Obra Dinn-like deduction puzzle.
The game puts the player at a desk with an Archive on the left side of the screen, holding body information and supporting documents. Identity cannot be settled from one document alone; the player reads across several and narrows the candidates down.
Once a body can be matched, the player enters the passenger, crew member, and body number into the Verification System for a provisional confirmation. Every three provisional combinations trigger a correctness judgment, and only correct ones become confirmed. Wrong combinations stay in place, so the deduction starts again.
