"Step into a cinematic adventure as Darwin, a brilliant octopus trapped in a mysterious industrial world. Use his unique abilities - swimming, wall-climbing, shooting ink, camouflage, and more - to overcome traps and escape."

I really want to play this but, based on what Star Trek has become of late, I think I’ll be left feeling like The Godfather; “look how they massacred my boy!”

I’ve been working on Abaddon, (a first person Lovecraftian horror game) for Almost 4 years now, this journey has been amazing, I can’t believe It’s almost ready for release! If you are into horror games please consider wishlisting it as it helps me out a lot! Thank you all so much for the support ❤️

Nice night for fishing ain’t it?

Cozy mystery set in modern India. Evidence boards, 50+ NPCs, Bollywood dance-offs, street cricket. Very Positive on Steam (84%). ~4-6 hours.

Did you ever think to yourself “wow, I wish QWOP had some guns in it”? They Killed Your Cat is basically that premise. Some goons killed your cat ala John Wick, and now you are running down corridors murdering those responsible. You are controlling movement of each leg manually, you are reloading your weapons

This game has an interesting premise: The Moon’s orbit with Earth started to decay about a century ago. Now, the tides are so high, the remnants of humanity are stranded on a mountain peak. The Moon is going to collide with the planet in a few more decades, and there’s nothing that anyone can do to stop it.

The next “let’s take a random thing and roguelite it” is here, and it’s called Dice A Million, a roll ‘em up that has you trying to roll 1,000,000 with a set of dice. As the numbers grow you will be unlocking more dice with crazy unique effects and modifiers, and getting some cool powerup rings for your hand. Speaking of the hands, there are 10 to choose from which indicate your player class. Also, the developer wants you to really notice their “cutting edge next-gen graphics”, which were all drawn on Microsoft Paint.

This is an indie game that surprised me, called “SISTER LACE”.

Did you like Phasmaphobia but thought “maaan this would be cooler if it was in space, and it was kinda like Alien”? Enter Species: Unknown, a 1-4 player co-op survival horror where you enter a derelict ship, investigate the carnage, discover what alien murdered everything, and then try to get out alive.

Demon Tides is an incredibly sharp 3D platformer that follows Beebz and her crew across the vast oceans of Ragnar’s Rock. You can explore the open seas at your leasure, completing unique challenges at every structure and uncovering the myriad of secrets that have been hidden there, with some of the smoothest movement I’ve seen in a while from the genre. 

This is a digital tabletop game called Dobbel Dungeon, that comes from a two-person team out of the Netherlands. This light fantasy romp has you assembling a party of three before you venture out armed with your dice. At the start of a turn you roll the dice, and then power up your abilities. There are no chances to hit or misses in Dobbel Dungeon - as long as you have the numbers you can perform your abilities and defeat your foes. 

Friend slop (positive) isn’t for everyone, but Super Battle Golf looks like a tonne of fun.

I stumbled across this one while scoping out the  this week, and the weirdness of the art immediately had me hooked. Horripilant is an incremental dungeon crawler (which I THINK is a fancy way of not saying “Roguelite”), with a strange pixel art style that also somehow manages to feel like hand painted ink nightmares with a dot matrix vibe. Yeah, it’s a lot. Pulling from classic dungeon crawlers, this one looks super weird and delightful.

Including a nice love letter from both creative directors.

I am an indie dev and former game journo, and I run a newsletter where I share recommendations of cool indies coming out every week. I’m not going to link to it here but I thought I could drop an interesting find on here.

20% off. It’s Satisfactory but with tower defense and the world catches on fire sometimes.

Reclaim real African artifacts from Western museums in this Africanfuturist heist game. Recruit crew members, plan escape routes, acquire the precious cargo, and bounce out of the joint as fast as you can.

When we announced these products in November, we planned on being able to share specific pricing and launch dates by now. But the memory and storage shortages you’ve likely heard about across the industry have rapidly increased since then. The limited availability and growing prices of these critical components mean we must revisit our exact shipping schedule and pricing (especially around Steam Machine and Steam Frame).

Steam Store Page

You can play FBC: Firebreak for free this weekend, starting at 18:00 UTC time. That’s about three hours from now. There will also be a Double XP Weekend at the same time.

Fallout Shelter (working title) is a new reality competition series based on the hit Amazon drama and computer game of the same name. The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L).

Steam adds support for branch-specific Workshop mod versions

Normally the steam awards winners are real stinkers, but the voters had shockingly good taste this year.

I just played and beat this game in 39 hours. I really enjoyed my time. There was a few hiccups with determining what to do and where to go but I still really enjoyed my time in spite of that.

New Content

From desktop pets to incremental idle loops, this curated showcase brings together the coziest indie games of the year. Including new demos, fresh releases, and special discounts.

This is kind of old news that I only caught up on recently. Since October, Momentum Mod now has a publicly playable playtest, announced alonside their 0.10 update. I’ve been waiting to try this game out since I first heard it mentioned in a related project, Portal 2: Community Edition.

Enter Bullet Heaven Festival, a reverse bullet hell celebration. Unleash relentless projectiles, upgrade abilities, conquer foes, and ascend to ultimate power!

I have 200+ hours in the original Planetbase and 100% achievements, so I am pretty biased, but I love the relative simplicity (by the standard of most city-builders) combined with the sci-fi themes and survival mechanics (albeit starting from the mid-game, the survival mechanics are not that important) of the original game.

We are happy to report that, thanks to our partners at Nixxes, we have reached that goal much sooner than expected. By completely de-duplicating our data, we were able to reduce the PC installation size from ~154GB to ~23GB, for a total saving of ~131GB (~85%).

Hi everyone, recently I discovered a new indie tycoon game which is about flipping burgers. The devs are super responsive on Discord and add tons of new features and bugfixes every week. It also got positive reviews but only very few people have ever found this game and tried it out. That is why I would like to recommend it to you. A gameplay video is available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLScWiPlQ4o

Hey there Lemmerds,

Looks like fun game!

Just saw in an announcement from the dev that they’re releasing a minecraft clone with a focus on recreating and remastering the old minecraft days. Though it’s in early access this is the rare early access gem that’s mostly done before release. The ‘early release’ meaning that the game doesn’t have full multiplayer support, they need to improve linux support, and want to have better modding support. A few other goals too.

tl;dw/r:

No prices yet. I may never financially recover from this.
