The key to a good survival experience is giving players lots of viable options and making sure there’s fun to be had in failure. Based on everything I’ve seen so far,Dead Static Driveis on the right track.

On a visual, conceptual, and even tonal level, the game leaves a lasting impression in the crowded indie field–a tough feat that only seems to get tougher as the years fly by. I’m rooting for it!
