Welcome back to another edition of IndieXP, our series of indie developer interviews where we try to spotlight as many creative minds and interesting projects as we can! Our latest episode focuses on a developer whose debut game, Through the Nightmares, taught us some very important lessons about never giving up.
During the recent Indie Game Awards, wildly popular RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was awarded two accolades: one for Debut Game, and another for Game of the Year, somewhat unsurprisingly.
Below is our interview with Sylvain Abrial of Calepin Studio, detailing his experiences working on Reliefs, including the numerous important lessons he’s learned over the years. We hope you enjoy reading about his journey and the many valuable insights he was kind enough to share with us!
Today’s interview highlights a team with a solid portfolio under their belt: Helltown gave you a low-poly, retro-style look at the terrors of a small town, turn-based RPG Born of Bread followed the colorful adventures of a flour golem (yup, really!), and their latest project, Caput Mortum, is a horror game with a one-armed protagonist and a unique control scheme. That’s right – we sat down for a chat with WildArts Studio. Enjoy!
Welcome back to another edition of IndieXP, our series of indie developer interviews where we try to spotlight as many creative minds and interesting projects as we can! Today's episode will introduce you to a small, two-person indie studio creating unique and artistic experiences, whether that's collecting and raising insects in a terrarium, or defeating enemies in a deckbuilding action-roguelike. We sat down to have a cozy chat with Monstigri.
We’ve reached the midway point of the year’s very first month, which means even more indie games to watch out for – here are some of the most promising releases from the second week of January!
A year is a long time – we have twelve whole months ahead of us, and most of them will likely be filled with brand-new game releases; some we already know about, while others are still the subject of rampant speculation. Today, we’re taking a look at indie games that are confirmed to be coming out in 2026 – titles that, barring any unexpected delays, we’ll be able to get our hands on and play later this year.
Happy New Year! 2026 has arrived, and the indie game releases are not slowing down. Not one bit. We hope you’ve all had a good rest during the holiday season, because January is already hurling a handful of promising indie titles at us – so strap in and enjoy our list of personal picks from the first week of the month!
Dead Format has the most insanely intriguing premise I’ve seen come out of a horror game in a long while. You take cursed, supernatural VHS tapes, each representing a different genre of film, and dive into them Inception-style to explore their every nook and cranny? And you do this within the framework of a survival horror game?
We continue our exploration of the holiday season – here are all the coolest indie game releases from last week that we believe you might want to check out! Enjoy!
