Developer Blue Bottle Games

NEO Scavenger is a survival role-playing video game developed by Blue Bottle Games. The studio is led by Daniel Fedor, a former BioWare employee. In the game, the player controls a character that awakes in a cryonics laboratory in a ruined, post-apocalyptic world. The immediate objective of the game is to keep the character alive by finding food, clothing, and shelter, and caring for any illnesses that may befall… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

    NEO Scavenger, the previous title, was the sort of game where every part of it was intricate, but once you learned enough about it you could absolutely make it dance. Ostranauts has been in development for at least as long, and if you're an imm sim person you should really check it out.

    For this week's PC Gamer column, I wrote about the obscure yet brilliant NEO Scavenger, a survival game that secretly has the best inventory system in the medium. www.pcgamer.com/games/surviv...

    This is the second time Neo-Scavenger has been brought up to me this weekend. The game rules. I was one of the first players of the game back when it was posted on the forums and the only possible stuff to do was manage inventory, scuttle around, and get killed by dogmen.

    It took an insane amount of time, but the dynamic clothing system is finally ready. It's Necroscapes, an action point-based survival game inspired by Project Zomboid and Neo Scavenger. #IndieDev #GameDev #TurnBased #SurvivalGame #unity3d #solodev

    Wait a minute, that's the same logo type as Neo Scavenger and... wait. Oh, cool. I had zero idea the dev had another game on the verge of releasing... Early Access since 2020? How'd I miss this?!? I'm paying a lot of debt until October, but will bookmark to look at later.

    NEO Scavenger is exactly that, it's a turn-based roguelike with no numbers: store.steampowered.com/app/248860/N... There's no HP, no damage, nothing. You don't even know if a baseball bat is better than a knife, you just chose things based on your experience and how you feel about them.

    The next recs are gonna be for Freaks. Let's start the survival-crafting-loot-hoarding niche with the simplest one, Neo Scavenger: www.gog.com/en/game/neo_... In this postapocalyptic sim, shopping carts are end-game equipment. Combat is miserable and if the cryptids don't kill you, infections will.

    NEO Scavenger did this and it worked as part of a survival game. I think I'd have less tolerance for the fiddlyness if scrounging for an ensemble wasn't a core part of the experience/intention.

    I want to get the game Ostranauts at some point, but damn did one review disappoint me a ton on it. It's a space sim by the NEO Scavenger dev/s, which is cool to me. But it also apparently will just waste your time, with stuff like ship maintenance and travel taking RL hrs to do.

    If you haven't already played their first game NEO Scavenger, I'd HIGHLY recommend it, brutal post-apocalypse sandbox game in which seeing someone with two left shoes and a bic lighter is absolutely cause for, and justification of, a fight to the death to steal said items.

    Dread Delusion and Lunacid are both strange slow RPGs with plenty of downtime for talking. GOD EATER is repetitive (following a MH hunting formula) so it might be a nice "background" game for chatting. NEO Scavenger, Recettear, Silent Storm, and VtM: bloodlines are some other shots in the dark.

    I just remembered another game that made interesting use of volume: Neo Scavenger. It has inventory tetris plus has containers that have more internal spaces than they do as an object, so you can have bags-within-bags fun. It also models item weight. Very jank game

    NEO Scavenger! A challenging post-apocalyptic RPG about figuring out who you are and what happened to you after you wake up from cryosleep, with turn-based mechanics and a vast world to explore. Hard, but fun! store.steampowered.com/app/248860/N...

    NEO Scavenger is in conventional respects a poorly designed game but also like, it’s poorly designed in a way that can be amazing to play. It’s not difficult because of the mechanics; you have an evil shithead GM on the other side of the screen. So this was an instant buy for me

    Btw if any of you haven't played Neo Scavenger, play Neo Scavenger. It's a roguelike post apocalyptic survival game that starts with the usual trope of waking up in a hospital with amnesia, but it doesn't go into zombies or nuclear war, it's a secret far cooler third thing.

    Neo Scavenger is a post apocalyptic game taking place in Michigan. My favorite part of the game lore is that one of the factions is the local Native American population who took the collapse of white civilization to rebuild and return to a normal state of their society.

    now that you mention it, I would love to see something like that in a TTRPG I remember the video game NEO Scavenger tackled this -- a post apocalyptic survival RPG hex crawl, and NPCs are strangers at a distance until you can determine friend or foe pretty tense, when you start in a hospital gown

    If you're thinking that the logo for this game looks familiar and perhaps evokes a sense of dread there's a good reason for that: Kitfox Games have made deep sims before. They made the merciless post-apocalyptic sim NEO Scavenger (2014) (PC). Near as I can tell, Ostranauts is far more than that.

    Considering Switch2's mouse mode, i feel like NEO Scavenger would be a pretty cool game on the console. That or touchscreen controls on it both feel like they conceptually fit. Wonder if @dcfedor.bsky.social has any plans for a port 👀

    I started playing Neo Scavenger recently. It's a fantastic post apocalyptic game, incredible atmospheric art and graphics, having a lot of fun* (*I am so, so incredibly bad at it. I have, in eight hours, gone from 'died of sepsis' in three hours to 'accidentally fought three dogs at once on day 4')

    Weird West and NEO Scavenger. Weird West plays like the original fallout games and involves playing through multiple times with different characters in the same world so stuff you do on a previous playthrough affects later ones. NEO is a turn based apocalypse survival game with perma death
