Lone Survivor

"The masked protagonist must escape from a city ravaged by disease, by any means. Starving and exhausted, he has begun to question how much of what he sees is even real.

A new kind of adventure where the choice of how to survive is up to you. Sneak through without firing a single shot, or kill everything in your path. Eat and sleep well, or resort to drugs to keep going. Search for survivors, or try to escape the city alone. Look after your mental health, or descend into madness..."

Released in April 2012, Lone Survivor has been the surprise horror hit of the year. Golden Joystick-nominated, and with glowing reviews from the press, Lone Survivor continues to fascinate fans of adult and cerebral interactive fiction, and the soundtrack has been consistently praised. It approaches issues rarely touched on in games, from the shattering effects of grief, through mental health issues, to the examination of drug use and abuse. Critics cite the combination of meaningful choices presented to the player, the 'virtual pet'-style survival mechanics, the concept of the invisible psychologist, and the examination of dream-logic as something genuinely bold and new.
