The Call of Krul'ar

I enjoyed learning the game mechanics. Not sure how to classify it, but there is a game demo to try before you buy. Played on an Ubuntu desktop with keyboard and mouse controllers.

Abandoned by the developer. Don't bother anymore. He won't even release a bug fix patch for the current bugs that effectively makes one of his building useless even though he's aware of it (watch tower bug). Good game idea, sadly abandoned.

Abandonware.

Absolutely wonderful presentation. The pixel art, the "damaged" cards, the sound effects, and the eldritch horror ambiance. The dev absolutely nails it. The game has survival colony sim elements, which of course boils down to managing a few core resources (four at first, and a few others you'll run into as you go, plus combinations/refining) with most actions taking a "turn" in the day. The real allure to me was the sense of adventure, trying to figure out new recipes, all with that impending gloom, the inescapable all-devouring maw slowly (and not so slowly) closing in on you, making a towering fortress feel like a sand castle. There's enough going on that it took me a few tries to beat the game-- there's a wonderfully paced amount of complexity that layers on as time goes. For me the pacing felt like my job was to just keep things from slipping out of my hands just enough to-- well, I wont spoil anything more. In true horror fashion , the game doesn't hold your hand. All in all, the largest issue is that it lacks much in terms of replayability, but it's a great way to occupy an evening or two for just $USD 3.

Good, takes some thinking to just survive

Good, unique, worth your time.
