It takes quite a set to release a lo-res game like this these days.
This just warms my heart. Anybody play it yet?

It's a nice enough game, but I had a lot of trouble with the shooting sequences. Others had no trouble at all, so it may just be that I am particularly clumsy with this kind of actiony stuff, but I feel I should warn you guys it's not pure point-and-click. I'm not sure the demo contains one of these scenes but it might be a good idea to download and try that first.
I quite enjoyed the first Blackwell game. Considering it's mostly made by one dude, I think the games are pretty well above average.
I know I couldn't do this well by myself.

Pirates, vampires, zombies, ninjas, ghouls, aliens, goblins, monsters, robots, sorcerers, undead, werewolves, demons, mutated dinosaur-cyborgs and those pesky phone salesmen! The shotgun is a one-size-fits-all solution!
I watched a playthrough of this game with commentary on Twitch TV. Very atmospheric and interesting.
Another retro-look game that seems to be popular recently is Lone Survivor "a psychological survival adventure game". You can get it, among other great games, in the current Humble Indie Bundle.
