I picked this up after Chris mentioned it a few podcasts back and it's quite good.
 
It's a very small, limited experience but holy fuck is it intense. You're basically flying a probe around deep space via a Commodore 64 looking interface. You've got to make it from station to station without running out of oxygen or power.

Much of the game's depth is in its sound design. Your breath becomes ragged as you run out of oxygen and your ship's engines start to rattle threateningly at higher speeds. Everything reinforces the desperation you might feel floating alone in space with limited air. It's basically that new Alfonso Cuaron movie in 8bit.
