Don't Starve

A wilderness survival game with a hand-drawn, gothic look, seen from above at an angle. You gather food and materials, craft tools and cook meals while day turns to night and strange creatures start to hunt you. Dying is permanent, so each run teaches you what to do differently next time. Is it your kind of game?
