How to Survive is a surprisingly fun little zombie survival game. The crafting, scavenging, and survival mechanics are simple but satisfying, and I liked having to actually keep an eye on food and water. It's nothing particularly deep, but it knows what it wants to be and doesn't overstay its welcome. I had a good time with it, and I'd recommend picking it up during a sale.
