SHOWCASE

This Month’s Top Picks

Carefully curated indie releases that deserve your attention from March, 2025.

Reignbreaker

Split Fiction

A boundary-pushing co-op action-adventure from the creators of It Takes Two. Writers Mio and Zoe are trapped in their own stories, switching between sci-fi and fantasy worlds. Tame dragons, fight cyber ninjas, and tackle wild challenges in this unpredictable journey of friendship.

Wanderstop

From the creators of The Stanley Parable, Gone Home, and Minecraft, step into the shoes of Alta, a warrior-turned-tea shopkeeper. Tend plants, brew tea, and serve travellers in a magical forest — though Alta’s reluctance to embrace this new life lingers.

Twilight Monk

A hand-drawn 2.5D action RPG combining metroidvania exploration and classic JRPG elements. Navigate dungeons, uncover secrets, and wield the Phantom Pillar in a dark, richly crafted world.

SUPPORTER’S CHOICE
HIDDEN GEM

Look Outside

A claustrophobic survival horror RPG where every trip outside your apartment risks monstrous encounters. Manage resources, forge alliances, and survive the grotesque unknown.

Reignbreaker

A high-octane action roguelike set in a medievalpunk world. Play as Clef, a rebel storming the Queen’s fortress, clashing against high-tech machines and navigating traps. Motorized javelins. Explosive combat. Rebellion-fueled battle for freedom.

↓ HIDDEN GEM ↓

ANEURISM IV

In a dystopian city consumed by decay, you exist as a Spirit on the edge of rebirth. Align with factions to protect, corrupt, or simply survive as the spreading Rot changes the world around you. No goals, no rules — just consequences.

↓ HIDDEN GEM ↓

Mudborne: Frog Management Sim

Awaken as a frog in a vibrant, abandoned pond and restore its lost ecosystem. Breed and genetically modify frogs, solve puzzles by hopping between the waking and dreaming worlds, and uncover what caused the disappearance of your amphibian friends.
