Rein
I just stumbled accross Rein on IndieGames and just had to share it. It is a short game, a very short game really. Creator Darius Poyer describes the game thus Rein, to constrain or be guided by constraint, is a game about survival, escape and medical research! (mostly survival).
It reminds me somewhat of the beginning of Half-Life with disaster happening in a research lab, but of course it is an adventure game, no an FPS. There is a lot of atmosphere for such a small game and it auto-saves in each new room allowing you to simply continue from where you were if you die. Great ending too. Download it here.

Good call, but it left me aching for more. An enjoyable sharp, brutal, and well-written little experience.
Reminds me strongly of ‘The Dig’ in art-style and theme. I want a game like this, with occasional mild combat aspects and smooth, Abe-like controls. That lasts hours.
Aching for more most certainly Jak!
