Now, I could easily spend this entire article describing why Jasper Byrne’s Lone Survivor is one of the most underrated games of the last 15 years. Feverish, frightening, and filled with myriad moments of affectionate human drama, it also boasts one of the greatest horror game soundtracks outside of Silent Hill, unsurprising, considering Byrne’s similarly superlative work on the music for Hotline Miami. Remember that dizzying, bassy trance track that plays during the high-score screen? That’s Jasper Byrne. 12 years ago the independent developer announced a new pixel-art RPG with hints of Demon’s and Dark Souls – not long after, Byrne said the game was canceled. But time is a great healer and now, more than a decade later, the project has just been revived.
