Text To Screams: Rogue Survivor

That's Rogue as in Nethack and Angband, not Rogue as in Han Solo and backstab damage multipliers, alas. Courtesy of the IndieGames blog, Rogue Survivor is a zombie survival game from the Dwarf Fortress school of development- barebones interface and MAXIMUM FEATURES. It's currently enjoying some rapid development, but you can already recruit other survivors, trade with them, use carpentry to barricade doors and windows and gradually work your way towards a Left 4 Dead style safehouse and/or taking on the mysterious creature that prowls the sewers. You can get it here, read the wiki here and there's a guide to surviving your first week here. Warning! Movement defaults to the numpad. A Let's Play video that highlights plenty of the game's features lurks after the jump.

These days, you can find him talking about tabletop board games over on Shut Up And Sit Down, or doing proper grown-up journalism with the folks at People Make Games.
