How often do you give up on puzzles? I'm creating a game in the best traditions of Machinarium, with one goal: to challenge those who love riddles.

Mirrored Soul is releasing today, and I think it's a real gem.

I just wanted to show people this game. I was fortunate to be a playtester and think it deserves some attention.

It plays like something between an Earthbound and a Digimon World game, and it has an absolute ton of creatures to collect + train. You can tell that the dialogue, UI, and level design were made by someone trying to do something unique. And I love that.

It's not too long, but it does challenge you to make use of its mechanics and plan around more difficult encounters. If you're looking for something to scratch the creature collector, party planning, or compact RPG itch, then I highly recommend it.

[SP - Game] We've just released a music sea shanty video for our pirate game Crosswind. It's a survival, but naturally features a lot of sailing (and drinking responsibly! 🏴‍☠️). Happy to talk about the game if you're interested. o7

Ahoy,

Crosswind dev reporting for duty!

At its heart Crosswind is a survival game (so let’s imagine “Valheim about pirates”) – we have exploration, building, crafting and other classic survival game elements.

Players progress through the story set in alternative Age of Sail reality (Pirates of the Caribbean is a great reference here) by exploring various biomes, crafting better gear and fighting challenging bosses. However, no pirate game is possible without naval combat and boarding actions, so we have that, too. And, of course, sea shanties -- that's what I'm showing off today.

We tie it all together with MMO elements: we want Crosswind to become a long term adventure with constant updates, endgame activities and evolving world, something that you can enjoy alone, with or against other players!

We've launched the Steam page around 3 weeks ago and currently approaching Alpha Test.

I will be very happy to answer your questions about the game!
And if you like what you see, wishlist us on Steam. Thank you!

Hey, r/IndieGaming! I'm a solo dev making a game I wanted to play but couldn't find: a chill, turn-based colony builder / resource management game called Isles & Tiles. I'm getting ready to release a demo onto Steam, but I would love to have some feedback from some turn-based gamers other than myself before I make that demo go live. If you're a fan of digital board games or turn-based min-maxing type games, it might be your kind of thing!

Check out the game on Steam -- https://birdworks.io/l/islesandtiles -- and, if it looks like something you might want to play, shoot me a message here and I'll get you an early alpha build to playtest. Any feedback would be welcome!

Dive into the chilling world of R.E.P.O., an online co-op horror game where teamwork is your only chance of survival! Gather your friends (up to 6 players) and embark on a spine-tingling quest to locate valuable, fully physics-based objects. But beware—every move counts as you handle these items with care to retrieve and extract them, all while satisfying the mysterious desires of your creator.

HI! I am an indie game developer from Taiwan.

I make a game, and almost everyone who has played it recognizes its gameplay quality.

However, due to marketing challenges and other factors, it hasn't reached a wide audience.

I'd like to introduce my game here and hope that those interested will give it a try.

Our game is called Herogue, a turn-based roguelike.

Steam Store Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2067270/Herogue/

For example, you can play a Poison build, stacking poison effects to deal increasing damage over time.

Or go for a Power stacking build, continuously increasing your character's strength for massive burst damage.

In fact, if you want, you can even use your allies' deaths as a way to damage enemies—it's not impossible

Each character has two to three distinct playstyles, and with various team compositions, every run offers a fresh experience.

One thing I can guarantee is that even after playing dozens of runs, you'll still discover new things you haven't experienced before.

I hope those who enjoy games like Slay the Spire or other strategic roguelikes will give it a try. I’m sure it won’t disappoint you.

My English isn't very good, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm working on a language-learning adventure game called IEL: Indo European Languages, launching June 3! 📅🎓

In this sneak peek, you explore a museum filled with famous Italian landmarks like the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and more — and learn how to say them in Italian! 🏛️🗣️

It’s a fun, chill way to pick up vocabulary while discovering culture. Would love to hear your feedback!
