TR-49 Mystery From Overboard! Creators Hits iOS Soon

• Crack codes hidden within mysterious manuscripts
• Inspired by real historical archives
• Launching on iOS this January

Having spent countless hours immersed in both Overboard! and Expelled!, I feel confident in understanding inkle's narrative approach—yet their upcoming project, TR-49, appears to defy everything I thought I knew about their style.

Details remain scarce, but inkle has announced TR-49, a narrative puzzle game that completely baffles me when it comes to deciphering its true nature. Even the title poses a riddle, leaving us with only enigmatic clues from the official website to unravel.

What makes this project especially fascinating is its connection to the great-uncle of inkle's narrative director, Jon Ingold. He worked at the WWII code-breaking center at Bletchley Park, though the specifics of his role remain shrouded in secrecy.

Jon collaborated with the inkle team to investigate his great-uncle's past, delving into dusty old books and unusual electronic devices. Players will join this journey of deductive storytelling, ensuring plenty of mental challenges along the way.

You can wishlist TR-49 on Steam now, but with its iOS release scheduled for January, the wait to uncover these cryptic secrets won't be long. Jon admits even the developers haven't decoded everything within those eerie books—but with collective effort from the community, we might just uncover the truth behind this turbulent era.
