How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.
My friend made a cool game on a game jam and within a month a slopclone of it is on Steam. This is happening every day for indie devs and I hate it.

Of all the demos that dropped this week, I'm still most obsessed with this one. 'FPS souls-like' really sells it short. It really does not play like any other game out there. The final work of Viktor Antonov, with gameplay design by the only person mad enough to adapt Pathologic into a board game.

I also reviewed Hellraiser, which is in strong running for the third-best piece of Hellraiser media released, and not even in this year's top five survival horror games. A good game for sure, but if it was more confident, it could be truly great.

Just another shoutout, as Pony Island is free. If you have a friend who hasn't played Pony Island yet, let them know that they should play Pony Island. Don't let them look anything up. Just play.
Before Inscryption, Before The Hex, There Was Pony Island and It's Free Right Now
Okay, don't sleep on this one. It's one of the best pure metroidvanias I've played in years. It kinda feels like all the platforming parts of La-Mulana given room to breathe without the brain-busting puzzles.
Astalon: Tears of the Earth (Steam) is $6.19 on Fanatical buff.ly/1ieUGwZ #ad
Dressmaker is a masterpiece.
There's playtest signups open for Pony Island 2, and the original mystery rabbit-hole is just free right now. Let your friends know and don't tell them anything beyond 'Play it'.

Free game! Looks neat! It was meant to launch at the start of SAGE 2026, but Steam has been arbitrarily stalling a lot of indie launches recently.

I do not think it is much of an exaggeration to say that British media is one of the least trustworthy institutions on the planet.

These dark glasses conceal a painful truth. Look what this war has done to my brother Fouad; he has lost his sight. He desperately needs $200 for medical care and treatment. Your generous support will ease his suffering and restore hope to his life in this darkness.💔💔 chuffed.org/project/moh01
