Mana Pool: For the price, and with the caveat that this is still undergoing work, I think this is a very decent game. Good atmosphere, some good creepy tension, and no bugs or glitches that I could see, unlike what I hear of several recent higher-budget games (Sword of the Stars II, Stronghold 3, I’m looking at you). It certainly lives up to the dev team’s stated aims, and I think they should be very pleased with what they’re achieving on their budget. You can pre-order for a mere $1 at the moment, and I’d recommend doing so – if enough of us do, there’s money going to charity, apart from anything else. Don’t expect a miracle from it, it is rough round the edges and a little lumbering. Do expect a very credible horror experience in a very plausible setting.
