Together Alone: 'Pure Untainted Survival' in Near DeathGamasutra recently posted a great analysis of Near Death, discussing the impact of isolation in indie games. Here are a few of our favorite quotes:
[quote]Games like this exemplify Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s famous aphorism “perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”[/quote]
[quote]The mechanics are spot-on, and the game ramps up its difficulty in a ladder that scales with the growing intensity of the snowstorm outside, slowly allowing you to accumulate various skills, upgrades, and tactics in the process. The only thing you’re fighting is hypothermia; you’re constantly at risk of freezing to death and have to leap from one warm spot to another, often of your own hasty making. The storm, then, is not just a backdrop: it’s the setting, it’s your experience, it’s a character who charts the entire path of the game.[/quote]
[quote]Near Death succeeds at creating a taut and fulfilling experience, and the solitude actually helps with that.[/quote]

[ 2016-09-27 21:42:40 CET ] [ Original post ] During an emergency winter flight your plane crashes near an abandoned Antarctic research facility in the midst of a deadly blizzard. Cut off from civilization and with no hope of rescue, you must explore Sutro Station and scavenge for the means of escape while enduring blinding whiteouts and temperatures 100 degrees below zero.
Never more than a few minutes from freezing to death in the darkness of polar night, you must reclaim the station from the elements and fight for your life in a terrifying environment that's more like another planet than the world you know.
Features
- Unique gameplay suited to the harsh realities of a frigid, dark continent. Create light trails to mark your way in zero-visibility storms. Melt frozen doors and obstacles to explore the base in search of supplies. Find temporary warmth with your portable heater. These are just some of the abilities you’ll use while exploring and escaping Sutro Station.
- A dynamic weather system that uses snow, wind, temperature, lighting, and more to create a multitude of Antarctic conditions ranging from brief moments of calm to raging winds and blinding whiteouts.
- A realtime temperature simulation that dynamically freezes and thaws the environment room by room, based on exposure to the elements, building layout, and the base’s power system. As the player, you’ll repair damaged areas and protect them from the elements to create pockets of safety and expand your reach.
- A fully explorable Antarctic research station with seamless open world navigation over an unforgiving landscape.
