The combat in Lone Survivor is intentionally difficult to carry out, with only ranged attacks possible while the player has access to ammunition, a scarce item throughout the game’s world. In addition, the player character is immobile while shooting and reloading, making attacks of any kind very risky. In order to work around this, hiding from enemies in crawlspaces and indents in the game world is crucial to advancement, but more than that, it’s crucial to allowing the player to keep enough of their hard-earned ammunition for when they face a situation where they are unable to escape.

One of the first breaks from the horror in Lone Survivor is when the player character enters their friend’s old apartment, where they find a scene of bizarre normality. The unease of this moment is able to further reinforce just how wrong the world has become, and leaves that feeling even more so when it inevitably comes to an end.

Hardcore Gaming 101:

You wake in the apartment you now call home, although it is not your apartment. As yet you have explored very little of the building or the surrounding city. There seems to have been a viral outbreak that has turned people into monsters. How this happened is never stated. One guess is as good as the next. All you need to know is that, as the title states, you are alone and you need to survive.

Lone Survivor operates at a fixed 160x90 resolution, which is then scaled up to fit the full-screen monitor. Low-res is a bold choice for a horror game. It's even lower resolution than the first Clock Tower. The effect is less than perfect - one would wish for more expression on the protagonist's face, for instance - but it is still delightfully creepy. Backgrounds move smoothly and characters are animated well. While heavily pixellated, the graphics are overlayed with effects such as mist and film static, creating a wonderfully creepy atmosphere. And as with The Last Window, this game proves that graphics need not be top-of-the-line to have to have more than a fair share of terrifying moments.

In Lone Survivor, there are a variety of collectibles throughout, improving your attack capabilities among other things, but perhaps the most mechanically intrinsic are the food and cooking items. Surviving is possible without these, of course, but eating better food is one of the most powerful ways to improve your mental health, which is necessary for certain endings.

Hello everybody, here's a set of screenshots from the 2D survival horror game Lone Survivor: Director's Cut for you all.

I actually don't find the game scary myself (I don't find horror games scary in the least in all honesty) but I will say that the game is wholly demented and I love it for that. The game is my favorite type of horror too, psychological, so it tries to mess with your head more often than not and often makes you go wtf is going on.

We'll be writing our review for the game in the coming days but getting more play time in the game first takes priority.right now (along with the other games on our list of course).

Happy gaming folks! -Shaun Meyers (Kyo Akiara)
