Is it still worth playing?

Wilson, a scientist, is dropped into the Constant, a dark world drawn like paper cut outs, and has to not die. It is a survival game from April 2013 for Windows, the Mac and Linux, later on consoles and phones. It grew from a 2010 game jam, with Minecraft's exploring and Tim Burton's look behind it. Hunger, health and sanity are three meters, the world is generated afresh, tools are crafted from what is gathered, and the night has things in it that kill. Death is for good, and the seasons matter: plentiful food in good days can turn into a starving winter. The dark still means the night has to be survived as much as the hunger.
