Paranautical Activity is a "voxel based roguelike FPS set on a ghost ship"

You know you've breached the singularity and are heading inexorably into the dubstep-only future when even indie games are coating their trailers in a thick layer of the wubwub. I'm willing to forgive the excellently named Paranautical Activity , however, because - well - did you see the headline to this post? It's a voxel-based roguelike FPS set on a ghost ship, and it appears to be one of the better ones. You can buy into the beta of this very Serious Sam-like game on Desura , but keep an eye out for the giant voxel skulls. Those things really are the worst.

Despite being out (sorta), this is still some way off being done, with the next patch - due Feb 28th - set to contain "2 new floors, 5 new items, 2 new enemies, 2 new bosses, and a new gun". There's also some talk on the Desura page about changing the very oblongish, devoid-of-furniture rooms so they look more like they're on a ship, a change I would suggest the team make post-haste.

Paranautical Activity will set you back £3.99/$5.99, and is cruising for clicks on Steam Greenlight - now here's that wub-heavy trailer.
