It caught my eye. What are your impressions?

Definitely interested. It looks like an FPS version of Duskers.

Yeah - and that's pretty dang spiffy.

A couple of observations.....

- Reminds me of FTL, but with FPS, crafting, and random enemies...
- Gun play is ok, downside is that you can now look down the sites
- Voice acting is pretty great, and the story art style is spot on (the game opens as a comic book)
- Each time you die you generate a new character which is a prisoner with different abilities/weaknesses (for example the first character I had was a chain smoker so he coughed all the time which alerted enemies and gave away my position).

The game is pretty unique and I have enjoyed it so far, not sure if the price point is right yet.
