The post-apocalyptic simulation, which practices permadeath like any good survival game, neither wallows in florid, indulgent descriptions of puddled entrails nor does it skimp on required detail. What's interesting about NEO Scavenger is just how much of it is presented in efficiently delivered prose. In NEO Scavenger, it's entirely possible to die choking on your own blood. Cuts can transition into ragged, seeping wounds which must later be attended to in order to circumvent shock or infection.
Both you and your opponent break down in stages. The results of those actions are telegraphed with minimal text, leaving your imagination to draw up the scenario. Even the process is slightly clunky battles are conducted via a menu interface where you can choose to do everything demand surrender to tackling someone to the ground. More often than not, they're desperate and clumsy, laced with awkward falls and missed blows. Fights in NEO Scavenger are seldom heroic stand-offs. You'd think that no sapient life is worth a pair of blue jeans but the ever-looming threat of hypothermia makes it surprisingly easy to bludgeon a screaming, half-dead looter to death for his Levis. It's almost frightening as to how quickly NEO Scavenger conditions you to adopt the world's sociopathic pragmatism. But hell isn't necessarily other people and sometimes, it's good to greet and make meat of new bodies - especially if they have shoes.
If you're lucky or very sly, you can go for days without tangling with another resident of this dystopian Michigan. There is nothing actively malicious about the setting, no endless waves of enemies to strive against or any real scarcity in resources. NEO Scavenger is a single-player, turn-based survival RPG that isn't so much mean as it is simply. Had I the right composition of skills, I could have totally gutted the dogman, stripped him of his hide and built a reservoir of accessible protein. It was only much later, as I shivered in the embrace of a shadow-dappled glade, that I'd regret my decision. Plus, I really, really didn't want to be wolfed down by some passing mutt just seconds after consciousness. Which, I suppose, is a little messed up but someone needed to pay for Paris Hilton's god-awful The Simple Life.

The demo will continue to get bug fixes, UI enhancements, and balancing, however.I fed a reality TV show star to a dogman yesterday.

Going forward, my plan is to focus on fixing bugs and improving modding support in the full version, while the demo remains feature/content frozen. Customers can also download the soundtrack as high-quality mp3s. Full Soundtrack - The game has a dozen beautiful tracks that play intermittently, composed by Josh Culler.Some valuable, others humorous, some historical.
