I'm lately obsessed with @OverlandGame, a punishing, turn-based roguelike with a ton of personality. Finding it frustrating that there's not much of a community to discuss strategy and commiserate with. This game deserves better, imo!
If you make it to a new area you can start there next time, but always with a new set of characters. Your old characters have been permanently sacrificed for your overall progression.

The result is a series of small, tragic plays. A small group of survivors come together, they fight against impossible odds, and one by one they succumb to those odds and die. Over and over again.

And, this is how I've always imagined the apocalypse would really be. Not as a series of hard choices, moral failures, and setbacks that result in some sort of survival, but those same elements all being, ultimately, for naught.

What if you put aside your morality, kill a fellow survivor for a few gallons of gas, do everything you can to survive becoming impossibly traumatized and changed and then... just die anyway because there are too many damn alien monsters and everything's on fire?

That's Overland. I understand perfectly why it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I still kinda wish it was because I'm not that good and better strats could probably help me get past the Grasslands, at least.
