Starring a no-nonsense protagonist in the form of Queedo the Gravedigger, the game will have players embark on a dangerous journey to avenge their father and kick plenty of monster butt along the way.
2024 was an eventful year in terms of video games – and it’s something we’ve already discussed in a previous article about our favorite indie games of last year, but what about 2025?
Welcome to GTOGG’s January 2025 edition of Promising Indie Game Releases, where we highlight indie and non-mainstream titles that we believe deserve your attention – in other words, “look at all this potentially cool stuff you might’ve missed otherwise”. That would’ve been too long for a title, though.
2024 may have come and gone in a flash, but it was quite an interesting year in the world of indie games. From 20th century Polish demon-wizards and drunken medieval knights to underworld janitors cleaning up murder sites, we saw a wide selection of heroes and anti-heroes that gave us a similarly wide selection of unique experiences.
The Game Awards 2024 came and went, and as someone who enjoys, consumes, and writes about video games, I felt compelled to tune in – in part to see what games would be announced, and also to roll my eyes at all the silly things (some intentional, others not so much) that generally happen at shows like this. I realize I’m getting old, so maybe I’m being a bit of a curmudgeon here, but I often feel like I’m no longer the target audience for a lot of this.
Set in a biomechanical world filled with traps and strange technology, the game features an interesting teleport/swap mechanic and physics system, letting players manipulate gravity or switch places with objects in order to cleverly overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.
Starring a young warrior named Inayah who goes on a journey in a post-apocalyptic world to find her tribe, the game features a fast-paced weapon switching mechanic that sees Inayah transform her gauntlet into three distinct armaments: blades, fists and a flail, all of which provide her with different combat styles and traversal possibilities.

Top-down shooters are hardly a new genre (I still remember how much fun I had with Crimsonland back in the day), but they’re usually filled with plenty of action to satisfy those looking for some mindless shooting. It’s just you, your guns, and an endless horde of monsters eager to encircle and overwhelm you, making it all the more satisfying when you unleash absolute hell on them and survive a particularly hairy situation.
An action-packed title that has you customize your mech with a variety of weapons and upgrades in order to defeat legions of monsters, Time Treker and its difficulty felt somewhat daunting to me when I first tried it earlier this year. However, once I overcame those initial hurdles, I found myself warming up to the game quite a bit.
