December 27, 2014: Don't Starve . . . Together

There's a little indie video game that I like a lot. It's called Don't Starve.

Here's what you need to know about it:

• The game doesn't tell you how to do anything; you have to figure it out for yourself.
• You're surviving in the wilderness. You have to forage and craft everything you need to survive.
• It's whimsical as heck. Tim Burton-esque art style, fun music, lots of dark humor.
• If you die, you're dead. That's it. Game over, start over from scratch.
• Werepigs. Beefalo. A walking chest.

And now, as of this writing, you can buy into the beta for Don't Starve Together, the co-op multiplayer expansion. And I could not be more excited.
