Mining Company is a mess—but it's your mess, and that’s where it succeeds. If you’ve got a crew of friends, some patience, and a taste for unpredictable co-op horror, this game is a $5 gamble that might just pay off in laughter, panic, and some very bad space trades. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand—or work perfectly. Mining with monsters, broken mic settings, and pure co-op chaos. Best served with friends.
Quarantine Zone: The Last Check (Demo) is an imaginative and grimly compelling blend of strategy, horror, and moral dilemmas. It’s Papers, Please meets The Walking Dead, with enough dark humor and high-stakes decision-making to make it uniquely its own. It’s tense. It’s weird. It’s surprisingly deep. And it’s worth keeping an eye on. Borderline brilliant. Literally.
Gray Zone Warfare is closer than ever to fulfilling its potential. With new content, performance boosts, and a stronger sense of purpose, the game is gaining traction. But until the core PvP mechanics are tightened and the spawn logic is fixed, it’s more “controlled chaos” than tactical brilliance. Still, if you’re already a fan—or you’re looking for the next big mil-sim shooter to sink your teeth into—there’s never been a better time to give Gray Zone Warfare a shot.
House of Lost Souls wants to be a thoughtful exploration of grief wrapped in a psychological horror experience. In some ways, it succeeds—it captures the emotional weight of returning to a place that holds nothing but pain. But the game can’t get out of its own way. For every genuinely creepy moment, there’s a broken door. For every emotional payoff, a badly delivered monologue. This is a haunted house game built on a good foundation—but one that desperately needs more time in development, better writing, and fewer ghost screeches.
Back: Fade is a hot mess—and it’s all the better for it. Equal parts terrifying and ridiculous, it’s a trashy horror gem that fans of FMV, cult cinema, and experimental storytelling will love. It’s not for everyone. But if your idea of a good time includes haunted birthday parties, possessed teddy bears, and dialogue so strange it could summon demons, Back: Fade is the experience you didn’t know you needed.
Drop Duchy is the kind of indie you want to tell your friends about. It’s unexpected, inventive, and more strategic than its colorful aesthetic suggests. Whether you’re optimizing a farming loop or planning a triple-synergy tile combo, every move feels meaningful. It doesn’t need an epic story or blockbuster graphics—it’s about systems, creativity, and problem-solving. And in that respect, Drop Duchy is a masterclass.
The Precinct doesn’t reinvent the sandbox genre—but it does turn it on its head. Playing the cop instead of the criminal is a smart twist, and for a few glorious hours, it feels like a fresh take on old-school open-world chaos. The detail in procedures, the wild chases, and the sheer charm of the 80s aesthetic make this a memorable ride. But it's not without its problems. From bugs to repetitive systems, there's a rough layer that could frustrate more detail-oriented or single-player-focused players. The game shines brightest in its first act—and if Fallen Tree Games continues patching and expanding it, there’s a real gem buried beneath the jank.
Darkwater is already a standout in the co-op survival space. It’s unpolished but undeniably fun, offering a distinctive mix of tension, teamwork, and tomfoolery. With an active development roadmap and a creative, dedicated player base, it’s likely to only get better from here. A brilliant co-op experience buried under a bit of early-access rust. Dive in with friends, and you’ll likely surface with stories worth retelling.
Lost Skies is wild, flawed, and full of potential. It has that spark—an energy you only find in games that dare to be different. It’s not polished, and it’s far from finished, but if you’re okay with some jank and you’ve got a few friends to explore the clouds with, this could be your next favorite sandbox. For now, it’s a great co-op experiment that will hopefully grow into something even more special by full release. If you're watching the skies for something new in the survival genre, keep this one on your radar.
Warside is full of good ideas, solid mechanics, and clear passion—but it’s not ready for prime time. It plays like a polished prototype that slipped out under pressure. While it can be fun for tactics veterans, the bugs, balance issues, and lack of polish make it a hard sell at launch. Buy it if you’re patient, passionate about Advance Wars-style games, and willing to support development. Wait if you want a finished campaign, strong writing, or competitive multiplayer out of the box. That said, Warside deserves a second look in a few months—if the developers follow through on their patch roadmap. There’s a strong game in here. It just needs more time in the trenches.
BrokenLore: Don’t Watch is a quiet triumph in indie horror. It’s less about monsters in the dark and more about what happens when you stop facing the light. Thoughtful, disturbing, and deeply personal, it captures the horror of isolation in a world that’s always watching. It won’t be for everyone—but for those who want their horror games with substance, symbolism, and a psychological punch, this is a must-play. It’s short. It’s strange. And it might just stay with you longer than any jump scare ever could.
Forest 6174 is indie horror at its most unfiltered. It’s not polished, but it is raw, disturbing, and strangely thoughtful. It may not satisfy players looking for jump scares or high production value, but for those who enjoy short psychological horror stories with a grim edge, it’s worth your time—especially at a low price point.
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree might not rewrite the Soulslike or Metroidvania playbook, but it brings enough style, systems, and substance to justify a place in any dark fantasy fan’s library. It’s a sprawling, artistically impressive RPG that nails exploration and combat—but stumbles with some frustrating design choices and uneven storytelling. Buy it if you’re a fan of Salt and Sanctuary, Blasphemous, or Hollow Knight, and want something moody, challenging, and visually rich. Just be prepared to dig through some rough edges to find the heart of what makes this game special.
"GORN 2" is pure VR joy distilled into a whirlwind of blood, laughter, and absurdity. On Valve Index, it plays smooth, looks fantastic, and delivers one of the most genuinely cathartic experiences VR can offer. However, unless you love custom battles and endless self-made challenges, its short campaign and lack of deep progression systems mean you might not stick around long after the first bloodbath ends. Still, for sheer pick-up-and-play madness, "GORN 2" is an easy recommendation — especially if you're the type who thinks "giant meat cleaver vs. hypnotized enemy" sounds like the perfect afternoon.
What makes this game shine is the balance between time management and psychological horror. The deep-sea setting adds a claustrophobic, almost Lovecraftian dread that lingers long after you log off.
The Cecil: The Journey Begins is a messy but memorable psychological horror experience. The puzzles are clever, the world is unsettling, and the story sticks with you—especially once it starts to unfold. Yes, it’s janky. Yes, it needs polish. But if you’re patient and open to indie horror that swings big—even when it stumbles—this one’s worth a visit. Just keep the lights on and your ears open. And don’t trust the mannequins.
Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a gritty, promising survival sim that nails tone and tension—but still needs polish and balance to reach its full potential. It’s not for everyone. But for fans of This War of Mine or Project Zomboid who want an emotional, side-scrolling survival experience with real stakes, it’s worth watching—and maybe even playing now.
Mudborne is a beautiful example of how a small indie game can do everything right: tight systems, a clear artistic vision, and gameplay that surprises and delights. Whether you’re here for the genetics, the frogs, the puzzles, or just the vibes, Mudborne delivers. It’s smart but never overwhelming, chill but never shallow, and visually striking in a way that makes it stand out in a crowded genre. If you’re a fan of Apico, Wilmot’s Warehouse, Baba Is You, or just really into frogs—you won’t want to miss this.
Koira doesn’t break new ground, but it doesn’t need to. It carves out a quiet space in your heart and stays there. For $17.99, it’s an emotionally rich, artistically confident, and completely charming experience. It may not satisfy gamers craving challenge or complexity, but it will resonate with anyone who values connection, beauty, and gentle storytelling. It’s less about what you do—and more about what you feel. And that feeling sticks.
AI Limit is full of smart ideas: stamina-free combat, build variety, and rewarding exploration. When it all works, the game delivers a fun, fast-paced Soulslike experience that feels surprisingly fresh despite its budget. But it’s also buggy, repetitive, and lacking polish. Storytelling is weak, and performance problems are frequent enough to frustrate even dedicated fans. If you love Soulslikes and don’t mind a little jank, AI Limit offers a unique take on the formula—just don’t expect perfection.
