Kingdom Contracts Tower Defense Incremental launches August 14 with a different approach to tower defence
Tower defence usually encourages you to build bigger. More towers. More upgrades. More elaborate kill zones. More things firing increasingly ridiculous projectiles at enemies who really should have reconsidered attacking after wave 37. Kingdom Contracts Tower Defense Incremental has a slightly different philosophy. Build as little as you can possibly get away with. The upcoming […]
Seina: a Tale of Spirits opens its hand-painted world with a free Steam demo
Sometimes you just want a game where nothing is trying to kill you. No enormous boss waiting behind a suspiciously large door. No stamina bar deciding that climbing three feet was a bit much. No horrible creature waiting in the woods because you made the terrible mistake of exploring after dark. Seina: a Tale of […]
Is ‘proudly human-made’ becoming indie gaming’s next selling point?
Independent games have always sold themselves partly on the people behind them. The rough edges matter. The weird personal ideas matter. The fact that one person spent three years drawing every frame, or that a tiny team built an entire world while working second jobs, matters. Indie games are not automatically better because they are […]
Is Steam making it harder for indie games to get noticed in 2026?
Getting an indie game onto Steam has never been easier. Getting anyone to notice it once it is there is an entirely different matter. Steam remains the obvious destination for most independent PC developers. It offers access to an enormous audience, established purchasing habits and a storefront players already trust enough to hand over their […]
Machine Party brings 15 lethal minigames to Steam on July 30th
Most party games are already perfectly capable of destroying friendships without throwing rifles, minefields and fatal workplace machinery into the equation. Machine Party has decided to add them anyway. The violent multiplayer collection from Buckshot Roulette creator Mike Klubnika and co-developer GDeavid will launch for PC through Steam on 30 July 2026, publisher Oro Interactive […]
Dead Spin preview: Slot machine horror with a nasty little hook
Sometimes a game sells itself on the vibe before anything else. Dead Spin is one of those games. Before you even get into the actual mechanics, it already has a grip on you just through the atmosphere. The whole thing has that grimy late-90s, early-2000s horror game feel to it, like you have somehow stumbled […]
Forgotten Eras updates its Steam demo and opens up its art process
Forgotten Eras has rolled out an updated demo on Steam, and alongside it, developer Behind the Hump is giving players a closer look at how its world is being built. The Greek indie studio has announced a refreshed version of the demo for its Slavic mythology-inspired action-adventure, with the latest build shaped by community feedback […]
One Rotten Oath review: Stylish rot, shaky shooting
Some games grab you before you have even properly started them. One Rotten Oath is one of those games. The look of it alone is enough to make you stop and pay attention. You do not see many games built like this, with those rotoscoped characters cut into grim 3D spaces, all stitched together into […]
Rogue Maze preview: Hostile architecture done properly
Rogue Maze is the sort of game that makes its pitch very quickly and then dares you not to be at least a little curious. The demo launched on 28 May 2026, with Bionic Wombat Games handling both development and publishing, and the full game is currently listed as coming soon on Steam. Officially, it […]
Freefall ’95 review: Going down brilliantly
Freefall ’95 always looked like chaos from the outside. The trailers, the screenshots, the whole pitch of turning a mid-air disaster into a score-chasing arcade game all suggested something loud, silly, and more than a little unhinged. And after actually playing it ahead of release, I can confirm that yes, it is absolutely chaos. But […]
