Allie<p>August 11, 2023 - Day 223 - NewPlay Review<br>Total NewPlays: 243</p><p>Game: Tin Can</p><p>Platform: Steam<br>Release Date: May 13, 2022<br>Library Date: Aug 4, 2023<br>Unplayed: 7d<br>Playtime: 25m</p><p>Tin Can is game number seven in this month's Humble Choice bundle, and answers the question, "What if Breathedge, but serious?"</p><p>Tin Can is a first-person space survival sim. Your goal is to survive as long as possible in real time.</p><p>The tutorial walks you (an on-board janitor) through the basic systems of the escape pod through a set of cute over-the-radio interactions with an on-board engineer who has to be in two places at once, and seconds you a few times to run through some repairs, then diagnostics, then troubleshooting.</p><p>Then the ship starts to explode, and suddenly you need to be in that escape pod.</p><p>You have a handful of spare parts, a technical manual, and a few minutes to solve whatever problem the escape pod is experiencing before that problem kills you.</p><p>The game tells you upfront that you will die. A lot.</p><p>I wouldn't describe it as fun, per se; it's stressful, but very engaging. </p><p>With only one game left in this month's bundle, I'm genuinely surprised at the number of bangers this time around.</p><p>If you don't already own the games I reckon you can't go wrong dropping AUD$17 on the bundle, even if the final game turns out to be a fizzer.</p><p>Tin Can is:</p><p>4: Good</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/TinCan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TinCan</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FirstPerson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstPerson</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Survival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Survival</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Simulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Simulation</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HumbleChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumbleChoice</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MastodonGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonGaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365ONG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project365ONG</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project365</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NewPlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewPlay</span></a></p>
