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.
The first week of February is behind us – which means I’m here to give you my handpicked list of the coolest indie games to have come out so far this month. Enjoy!
My first encounter with the work of Postmodern Adventures, aka José María Meléndez, occurred just last year, when, driven by a sudden desire to try something nostalgic, pixelated, and decidedly horror-themed, I finally got around to playing one of the Spanish solo developer’s earlier projects, Nightmare Frames.
Am I Nima’s premise is quite brilliant when you think about it. You’re Nima, an amnesiac young girl who wakes up realizing that #1, she remembers nothing about who she is and what happened to her, and #2, she’s been locked up inside a basement. By her own mother. Who, I might add, views her like she’s some kind of shapeshifting alien from The Thing, a creature that’s only imitating humans.
