Set on a remote island retreat, the game puts you in the shoes of protagonist Jess as she tries to reverse a supernatural ritual that’s gone very, very wrong – by which I mean it somehow unleashed cosmic terrors upon the world.

Welcome to GTOGG’s October 2022 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.

Inspired in large part by Hitman Go, the project aims to mix puzzle and stealth game elements as it puts players in the role of a blood magic assassin on a quest to take down the sultan’s enemies.

Packed with ample amounts of dark humor and quirky characters, the game is described as a “heavily narrative-driven” experience that hopes to subvert common tropes while offering its players several choices to make and multiple endings to discover…

A turn-based strategy game with dark, demonic themes, this version of Solium Infernum will feature new, 3D visuals, brand-new single player scenarios and a deep multiplayer mode focusing on cleverly outwitting – and constantly out-scheming – your opponents as you each fight to claim the Infernal Throne for yourselves.

Heavily inspired by retro action game classics Bushido Blade and Way of the Samurai, Die by the Blade will be set in a cyberpunk world mixing futuristic and traditional Japanese visuals, and will feature a wide range of samurai warriors eager to duke it out against each other with a variety of different weapons.

Taking place in a dark fantasy world on the brink of ruin, the game will have you venture into the unknown on a quest to reclaim the realm from monsters and fight back the corruption known as Entropy.

Taking place in an otherworldly realm where immortality is very much real, players will control reapers – agents of death – on a mission to bring the undead their final judgment.

So, this is essentially an isometric action game taking place in a Lovecraftian world that’s teeming with cultists, insane asylums and slimy, tentacled beasts hankering for a taste of your flesh and/or sanity.

Inspired by the folklore of Sardinia, Italy, the game will feature multiple playable protagonists, each trying to piece together the secrets of a maze-like village whose labyrinthine streets shift and change every time you die.
