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.
October continues to be a good time for indie games – from limb-cutting, Resident Evil-inspired madness to surreal, otherworldly shenanigans, you’re bound to find something truly unique and exceptional in this month’s indie/non-mainstream lineup. Check out our personal picks below to see which mid-October releases we found the most interesting!
If you’ve been following us here at GTOGG throughout the first half of 2025, you know we were quite fond of ORDER 13, a stealth-based warehouse horror game that came out this spring from developer Cybernetic Walrus. It used a simple but effective setup – become a warehouse worker, locate items by navigating the dozens of shelves and rows of the building… and avoid the bloodthirsty monster that stalks the shadows.
In case you missed it the other day, Sony held another State of Play broadcast to announce and provide updates on all the latest games coming to PlayStation 5 – and while numerous major titles and exciting reveals were indeed featured, the broadcast showed plenty of love to various indie projects as well. Have a look at our list below!
If you’re into retro games or grew up in the 90s or early 2000s, you’re likely intimately familiar with the phenomenon of trying to replay one of your childhood favorites, only to realize that setting it up on a modern PC is not always an entirely straightforward process. And that’s putting it mildly. The first hurdle is usually the simplest one: can the game even be purchased legally in Current Year? These days, plenty of retro oldies are available on both Steam and GOG, but the ocean is vast, and there are plenty of fish in it – by which I mean, this does not apply to every single game out there.
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!
