1000xRESIST is ostensibly a sci-fi tale about a far future society, formed after a disastrous epidemic decimates humanity. But it's a game that never stops growing, weaving a complex tapestry of memorable characters, far-reaching subject matter, poetic dialogue, and unforgettable moments both intimate and shocking. It's a dizzyingly intelligent masterpiece that I'll be thinking about for years to come.

In the roundup: the class of May 9th - Animal Well, Little Kitty Big City, Crow Country, and Cryptmaster.
