The Void (aka Tension)
The Void (also known as Tension, Russian: Тургор) is a 2008 survival horror adventure computer game developed by the Russian studio Ice-Pick Lodge and published in Russia, other CIS-countries, and Poland by ND Games on 17 April 2008.It won the “Most Original Game” award at the Russian Game Developers Conference, KRI in 2007.The game was released in English-speaking regions on October 23, 2009.
The game is about a soul that accidentally lingered in the Void, before absolute death. The Void is a purgatory-like place, in which the most valuable thing is Color, a liquid that represents lifeforce. Color is scarce and famine is a usual thing for its dwellers — beautiful naked Sisters and deformed monstrous Brothers. Color is a universal resource in the game — at the same time it is the hero’s health, armor, stats and ammo. With the help of Nameless Sister, the soul finds out that there is a way to escape and be reincarnated again on the surface, but in order to do this the player must disguise himself as one of the Brothers and eventually confront them.

The only faintly interesting thing about this game is the way it pushes the boundaries of nudity in games. Otherwise: awful, truly awful. I uninstalled it in about 20 minutes.
It’s worth noting that the game’s English version has some problems making it much harder than it originally was. The developers talk about it in this thread. I’ll definitely try it sometime.
