The only limit was my imagination. Oddada from Developers Sven Ahlgrimm and Mathilde Hoffman is an upcoming music game that, just like my old bag of wooden shapes, encourages the player to use their imagination to create something exciting and new. 

In eighth grade, boys are the enemy. But also, so is that teacher that turned into a horrific monster and destroyed all the Halloween decorations. Just saying.

Rats, Executioners, a Jester and a Hydra? Yep, it’s gotta be a dungeon crawler.

There are endless worlds out there in the universe, but how many of them are inhabited by cool worms that have unique puzzle-solving traits? Well, I don’t know the exact answer to that question, but I know there’s at least one - the unique world of LOK. 

Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is a cute, simplistic game that allows players to relax, unwind and hang out with some lovely frogs. You might not find yourself trying to collect every frog or bothering with some of the more confusing elements of the game, but overall it’s a lovely little title with loads of adorable hoppy lads.

Writers and authors across any medium strives to emulate three core pillars: tell a story, keep audiences engaged, and make the adventure worthwhile. This is where Cryptmaster excels.

Little Kitty, Big City is a wonderful kitty-sized adventure. The four hour experience gave me plenty of comical written moments, satisfying puzzles to complete, and a protagonist that was so endearing that they left my heart completely full.

Crow Country is a must for fans of survival horror and those who crave 90s nostalgia. The latest entry into the grunge horror genre offers a compelling aesthetic, enticing characters, and engaging puzzles. Despite the horrors that will stick with me for a lifetime, I can't recommend SFB Games’ nightmare enough.

Indika feels like a challenge to get through. With its main mechanic being its puzzles that break the game quite often, it might prove difficult for casual players to complete. But, if you’re looking for a game that you’ll want to tell your friends about as soon as the credits roll, this will be the perfect title for you. It’s unique, strange, funny, and unlike anything I’ve played before. If you can make it through, it’s worth the short, one time journey.

A mountain is many different things to different people. It’s one of the easiest and first markers used in analog map making. Home to many animals, and sacred ground to some. To those few, the mountain is the ultimate thrill, and at the same time the most serene place in nature.

With their vibrant and approachable take on the genre, Aggro Crab has crafted an incredible soulslike that both satisfies genre veterans and welcomes newcomers with open claws. 

Sucker for Love: Date to Die For is a sequel to 2022’s Sucker for Love: First Date from Developer Akabaka. Inspired by 90’s anime, both Sucker for Love titles feature a fun art style, unique characters and an out of this world story. And, in case I didn’t mention it, the sequel has a hot goat mommy. Okay, okay I’ll stop saying goat mommy.

Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom excels at delivering a retro-inspired throwback experience while also being it’s absolute own, original creation. The brutal difficulty may deter many players, but what Panik Arcade has achieved with Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is no small feat.

Fowl Damage's clever design and hidden complexities have left me genuinely intrigued. Despite the initial challenge of exploration, it’s an impressive game that promises a unique and engaging experience.

Imagine a world where you literally eat, sleep, and dream about your job. Every moment revolves around the corporation. Perceived “free time” circles back to the big corpo and how you can help its profits. Sounds a bit dystopian, right?

Roguelike games have all but taken over the indie scene with games like Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy and Hades setting an incredible precedent for the genre. So how do new roguelikes elevate themselves above the competition? How do they stand out? My advice would be to take notes from developer Perfect Random, the team behind the upcoming FPS roguelike Sulfur.

It’s time to grab your best tie dye t-shirt and gear up to jump back to the 60s in this blast from the past adventure game!

Music is all around us. We hear it everywhere in our daily lives. When we’re driving, shopping, working out - we’ve usually got a backing track. But what if suddenly all of the music in the world was taken away? Would you notice its absence? Or would you try to make your own?

Mullet Mad Jack from developer HAMMER95 is a fast-paced first-person shooter inspired by classic anime and in just the 30 minute demo it currently has available on Steam, it manages to impress in every way. From its eye-catching visuals to its frantic but super easy to learn gameplay, this title is strange, wacky, wild and I can’t wait to see what the full game has in store.

Paul Hart and Lee Williams have hand-crafted an utterly enjoyable and unique experience with Cryptmaster. This first-person dungeon-type adventure had me enthralled and laughing the entire time. Even while writing this preview, I found myself chuckling as I remembered the special sauce Cryptmaster brings to the table. Cryptmaster is a refreshing product with surprisingly high levels of accessibility in a niche genre that this title could well define.
