There’s something ridiculously ironic about an upcoming videogame based on Henry David Thoreau’s *Walden*, the transcendentalist book about getting back to nature and practicing simple living. [Yet here it is.](http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/29/sojourn-em-up-walden-a-game/?ref=killscreen.com) (Pssst, keep an eye on more this month’s new issue!)

In other reportage on literary gaming crossovers, [Bronte Sisters – The Videogame is a joke](http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2013/04/29/daily-comics/?ref=killscreen.com). Thankfully!

[Get Out Of My Face H7N9, the game about killing bird flu pathogens, is not a joke, and may be the worst game ever.](http://www.outofmyfacebirdflu.com/?ref=killscreen.com) We can’t make this stuff up.

Not awful. *Soul Fjord*, equally inspired by disco balls and the Yggdrasil tree, is on the way. And, it’s directed by *Portal* designer Kim Swift. Yup, time to pony up for a OUYA.

Three potentially awesome game documentaries, [*Minecraft: The Story of Mojang*](http://minecraftstoryofmojang.com/buy/minecraft%5Fdeluxe?code=vhxcreeper&ref=killscreen.com), *[Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters](http://watch.ecstasyoforder.com/?ref=killscreen.com)*, and [*Indie Game: The Movie*](http://buy.indiegamethemovie.com/?ref=killscreen.com) are having a cross-promotional sale. That Tetris documentary looks hot.

[The New York *Times* are hiring a director of games](http://jobs.nytco.com/job/New-York-Games-Product-Manager-Job-NY/2447643/?ref=killscreen.com). Paging whoever made *Paperboy*.

[You can now play the dreadfully creepy sound game *Deep Sea* at home](http://www.techhive.com/article/2032584/how-to-make-your-own-version-of-the-game-deep-sea.html?ref=killscreen.com). All you need is a glue gun, some pipe straws, a piece of cloth, and, oh yeah, a freakish gas mask! (Also, a Mac.)

What kind of game is [*SiSSYFiGHT 2000*, the adorable insult-slinger where you bully snotty little girls on the playground](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1805029723/sissyfight-2000-returns?ref=killscreen.com)? One that encourages “playfully backstabbing, flame wars, and a ruthless mob mentality.” In other words, a MMO.

*Thanks for reading!*
