So, let me talk to you about a game called OBEY.
It's a very unique and interesting game.
At it's core, it's a game about bunnies, giant robots, hiding, bribing, and coercion.
The goal of the game, is to get 10,000c
There are 2 main ways to do this. You can control the giant robot, which is the fastest way to earn money, or you can work for the robot (another way to earn money).
The way it works, is that the robot has infinite machinegun ammo, but not infinite anything else. He has to buy it. HOWEVER, the bunnies who are NOT the giant robot, have to deliver it. So, he buys it, and a dropship delivers it.
Here's where it gets interesting, the bunnies, want control of the giant robot, in order to make money faster. But, the robot will blast you if you are near it. HOWEVER. The game, is dark, and the bunnies can see clearly, but the robot needs a spotlight to see. Meaning, if your not in his vision, your good.
Anyway, it's really hard to DESCRIBE the game, but it's pretty fun. It's a VERY small community at the moment, but the game is for sale on steam for $15, and I spent around 3 hours playing with the developer and talking about the game.
I told him, I'm post it in my gaming community for SS13, and guess what? He was actually aware of SS13's existance. But beyond that, he played on CM a few days ago. Small world.
ANYWAY. It's a pretty AWESOME game, and I HIGHLY reccomend it. Normally, I wouldn't go out and make a post like this, then sticky it. But seriously, this fucking game. It's... super unique and the balance is just sort of self-imposed. Nothing is OP, and everything is based on the players. For example, one bunny was close to winning, so the rest of us singled him out, and told the robot to kill him. Another round, the robot guy was SUPER OPPRESSIVE, so we crashed the dropship (which brings the items purchased in) and dethroned him.
It's a game about control, and it's VERY well done.
So, I HIGHLY recommend it.

The community, is very small at the moment, and the developer/main guy is fairly accessible and plays.

Not many games you get to blow away cute little defenseless rabbits with over-sized GAU cannons.
Color me interested.

It's even BETTER on fridays, most of the players are online then. If your playing and you see Dez, tell him Apophis sent you.

It's an "Alpha" in name only.
This is a 100% playable game, in which the main gameplay mechanics and play methods are already in.
He's basically just balancing and adding in more features.

As another person who has played and enjoyed it, I agree with Apop. Honestly the owner of OBEY could probably sell it at that price as a full game and get away with it.

Most of what he's doing, is balances and fluff. For example, i think he's adjusting the "dropship crashing" mechanic, since it's greatly abused to create "corpse factories" for turning bunnies into corpses for the bad things.

I've had it for awhile now on steam and I do recommend playing it with friends, there are some really neat and trolling mechanics in the game that are fun to exploit.
