Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut review

Accompanied by dissonant clanks and crackling static, your life as Lone Survivor is one of austerity and the constant danger of grizzly death at the hands of faceless beasts, which wander around outside your flat in the aftermath of an unspecified apocalypse. Taking its cues from Silent Hill, your experience is a mix of hallucination and reality that never goes out of its way to explain which is which. This leads to a constant feeling of dread, emphasised by the haunting soundtrack and deliberately lo-fi 2D. The game's creator has also said PC and Mac versions will be available soon.
