If you haven't heard, and I can't blame if you haven't due to all these silly sales... Screwfly, formerly of Zafehouse: Diaries fame (?) have released their second game: Deadnaut. That was about two weeks ago. I only came across it earlier in the week myself.

What's it about? How does it play? Well, it does have some abstract mechanics like Z:D had, but you have a bit more active control over your crew. Basically, you play the entire game through your captain's three-sided command console, issue your orders to your infiltration team that investigates derelict spacecrafts while trying to keep nasty aliens of their backs. The presentation of that combat and ship exploration is fairly simple, but it does have quite a nice atmosphere despite (or because) of that. The sound design definitely complements gameplay.

Be sure to check out the trailer on the game's website, or, heck, grab the demo! The latter is a more limited implementation of what's available in the full game, but it ought to give you a good idea about Deadnaut in general. I've contacted the developer, asking if they were going to bring this one to GOG, too, and this is what they said.: Make it so, GOG! Chop, chop!

Voted; Zafehouse Diaries is a too often overlooked gem. Bring on Deadnaut, GOG!

It does look interesting. I wouldn't pay full price for it, as it appears to lack on the storyline department, but it looks like a good sale material. I'll vote for it.
