This game has been released and you can get it on the Humble store without DRM for ten bucks. Personally, I have been looking forward to this game ever since the demo. The premise is really neat.
Basically, you have about 60 hours to figure out a way to banish the coming cosmic horror by driving through dismal Britain, fighting monsters along the way. The game enforces very strict resource management - so strict, in fact, that every time you even fire a bullet, heal or want to use magic you think twice because all the costs are severe and painful.
I haven't played the game yet but I loved the alpha and will get it in a few days, when I am done with One Way Heroics.
The game is a rogue-lite in the style of FTL, except you only control one guy and there's side-scrolling action stages in-between your decisions. The difficulty is very punishing, especially when you are just starting out, and the sanity is very, very challenging to manage. (For example, it's almost impossible to restore once lost, and of course it's very easy to lose sanity when fighting cosmic horrors.)
Check it out, or don't:
