Here’s a look at the survival and horror games currently on deck at Survivor Incognito — including Subnautica, Alien: Isolation, Resident Evil, and more. Expect disasters. Possibly nuclear.
While I’m still trying to survive sand, snow, sea monsters, and supply chain disasters (SnowRunner coughs in Michigan), I’ve also been staring at my backlog and thinking:
“What else could go horribly wrong?”
Here are the games lurking in the blog pipeline — all under consideration, none guaranteed to go well.
🎮 Games Under Consideration (aka: The Next Mistake)
🪸 Subnautica & Below Zero
Status: Planned
Blog Potential: Longform underwater dread, optional screaming
Classic survival, but 500 meters underwater with alien jellyfish. Subnautica is set to follow Stranded Deep, assuming I don’t starve to death on a raft before then.
Below Zero is the colder, weirder sequel. I’ll likely run it once I’ve built enough fake confidence from the original.
👽 Alien: Isolation
Status: “Definitely Maybe”
Blog Potential: High panic, high perishability
It’s just me, a broken flamethrower, and one very judgmental alien. I’m currently designing blog rules that allow me to survive more than one encounter without invalidating the whole series.
If I pull the trigger, it’ll be part of Survivor’s Dread — assuming the alien doesn’t pull it first.
🧱 Minecraft: Skyblock
Status: In Freefall
Blog Potential: Infinite resource drama, void-based trauma
Floating blocks. Limited resources. Me forgetting how gravity works. A Skyblock run could easily become a short-form Day One Diaries arc or a full permadeath challenge titled Skyward.
Every entry will involve a mistake that absolutely could have been avoided.
☢️ Blast Corps (Permadeath Series)
Status: Scheduled post-SnowRunner
Blog Potential: Explosions. One life. Bulldozers.
This one’s simple: if the nuclear truck explodes, that’s the end of the series.
Expect a short, chaotic run where I flatten towns in the name of safety. The tone will be lighter. The stakes will be extremely not.
🧟 Resident Evil (Zero, One, Revelations 1 & 2)
Status: Rotating Horror Fodder
Blog Potential: High-panic short arcs, possible scream counters
Classic survival horror. Typewriters. Puzzles. Me mismanaging ammo like it’s my first zombie rodeo. These games could work as Survivor’s Dread mini-series or feature as one-off challenge runs.
Permadeath rules apply. Panic is inevitable.
🧠 XCOM 2
Status: Under Tactical Review
Blog Potential: Emotional damage disguised as strategy
Turn-based survival meets naming your doomed teammates. Could become a squad diary under a name like Operation Incognito, or a straight-up permadeath campaign where I get attached and suffer the consequences.
If you want to watch me cry over fictional soldiers, this is the one.
📁 Completed Games & In Progress (For Now…)
These titles have had their moment on the blog — but might make a comeback when I’ve emotionally recovered:
- Skyrim Survival Mode
My Argonian necromancer lived through cold weather, clumsy ambushes, and accidental vampirism. We may revisit his tale. Just… not Bleak Falls Barrow again. - The Long Dark – Voyageur Run
We tackled Mystery Lake, Coastal Highway, and transition zones full of regret. Future runs may include Customloper or Misery Mode, depending how brave (or foolish) I feel. - SnowRunner (Michigan Arc)
Once Michigan is cleared, I’m calling it. I’ll return to stuck trucks and bad contracts eventually, but first — nukes.
💬 So, What Should I Play Next?
Here’s where you come in. Got a favorite from the list above? Think I should suffer through Alien: Isolation before jumping into the ocean? Have your own terrible suggestion?
Drop a comment. Vote with chaos. Whisper “Skyblock” into the void. Whatever works.
