[March Climber]

That's all of it. Apologies for the large amount of gifs but I feel that they do a good job of showing the game in a small snippet.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Keep an eye on Prison of Husks. Art direction is a mix of Ico/SotC and Dark Souls 1. You can play a demo through a Demo collection thing. It has potential. Most recent trailer.



I'll check out the Becrowned Demo soon.

Edit: Seems primarily walking simulator with some combat. Silent Hill vibe. Doesn't really grab my attention. Either that or Flesh made Fear is better in comparison.

 

[Punished Miku]

I want to play like 20 games from this thread. Too many to even list.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Welp that's easily 5 games added to my wishlist, thanks for posting these.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Dead Finger Dice looks cool

 

[NeverYouMind]

Norse: Oath of Blood (Tactical Turn Based)

Elusive (3D Metroidvania)

Definitely interested in these two. Thanks.

 

[Arsic]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Added several things to my wishlist!

Pathologic 3 (Horror, Adventure)

2025's GOTY.

Becrowned also looks neat.

 

[March Climber]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Added several things to my wishlist!

You're welcome good sir.

Keep an eye out for the next few indie showcases later this week after the big shows. I'll be doing a recap thread of standout games on those too.

The thread may become lost amongst the shuffle (especially depending on how huge these conferences might be), but at least anyone here can search for the recap thread if needed in the future.

That's all of it. Apologies for the large amount of gifs but I feel that they do a good job of showing the game in a small snippet.

The gifs are great! Thanks for the thread.

 

[March Climber]

I Ironman_Bad check these games out.

 

[Labadal]

I didn't see Neon Inferno mentioned. Looked absolutely dope.

 

[mèx]

Thanks for the summary, there is some cool stuff in there!

 

[March Climber]

I didn't see Neon Inferno mentioned. Looked absolutely dope.

I was torn about Neon Inferno and Toxic Crusaders because they have both had a ton of trailers, buzz, and have their own threads here too.

Maybe I should include games like that next time regardless.

 

[ArtHands]

Crazy how many indie gems keep coming to PC
