Just played Near Death over the weekend. It was a fun little exploration survival game. Only takes about 2 hours to play through, but the simplicity of the game makes that the perfect amount of time.
You crash next to an abandoned Antarctic research base with your only communication a typewriter that's linked to another base a few hundred miles away. The people at that base try to help you with information as a huge storm is bearing down on your location so no one can come in to get you.
As you progress you'll have to scrounge for supplies to keep you warm in the -80 degree storm and repair parts of the base that have broken or fallen into disrepair. The base is a bunch of different sets of buildings all separated by a good distance of outside so you have to run through the storm to get to different areas for supplies and parts.
The simple mechanics are super engaging. The only danger is the cold and you have to find ways to keep yourself warm or you die. Had a lot of fun with it and highly recommend to anyone who finds that concept interesting.
