Time for another HYSPT! This time I've got a unique little hex-based survival game for all y'alls, called NEO Scavenger. In it you wake up in a cryogenics lab and discover a seemingly deserted world gone to hell. Did I mention you have absolutely nothing but a hospital gown? Yeah, that's all you get, in a game where you have to keep track of your temperature, thirst, hunger, and fatigue you start with a crappy gown that doesn't cover your butt. Read on for more thoughts and a link to try out NEO Scavenger!
The theme and gameplay meld together to form a really cool experience. It's not often in a game when you feel lucky just for finding a disposable plastic bag to put your empty water bottles in, or have to walk around with one shoe on because you've yet to find another. You have to manage all this while trying not to attack looters or horrible Dogmen (which is totally a more creepy way of saying "werewolf"). It's definitely not a forgiving game or a game for the casual player, but it's an experience you won't get from nearly any other game. It's worth a couple playthroughs and you don't even have to download it, it plays right in your browser! If you like it, you can sign up for an account and donate anywhere between $10 to $25 to help fund the game's development, and have a say in what features get put in the game when!
