Ooh. If I didn't already own it, I'd get it. And I say this despite the bouts of motion sickness it gave me.
It's less a game than a story in videogame form. Your character is investigating an incident at a space station that was populated by 6 humans, their cat, and an AI named ODIN. My favorite characters were ODIN and Sareh, the station medic who struggled with panic attacks, although I also enjoyed trying to track down the cat in each scene.
No major spoilers, but since I spent the entire game worrying that I was going to see the moment when the cat died:
the cat gets through the whole thing just fine.
I reviewed the game on my blog and gave it 3.5 stars on LibraryThing. I felt it was worth paying for, and it's definitely worth getting for free.
I haven't posted about the last few (and forgot to download them in time as well). I had thought this was one of their offerings in a previous month, but I don't see it in my records, so either I didn't download it or I'm remembering wrong.
Anyway, folks in the US and Canada have until 11:59 PM ET March 15th to download this.

This one I'd consider a novella or short story at only 96 pages. Usually it's a full length novel, often the first of an ongoing series with an upcoming new release.
