Welcome to GTOGG’s September 2021 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”.

Starring a group of Polish, German and Lithuanian freedom fighters, the game will have you sneak past enemy lines, distract enemy soldiers or even blend into their ranks to remain undetected, while its storyline will attempt to examine one of history’s darkest periods from a chiefly non-American perspective.

Inspired in large part by sci-fi horror movies from the 1980s and the nostalgic visuals of early PlayStation video games, Chasing Static is set to offer a roughly 2-hour-long mystery surrounding a research facility in rural Wales, with non-linear exploration and oodles of pure, undiluted atmosphere.
Chief among these additional features is a timed boss rush mode called Maligned Memories that has you fight every single one of the game’s challenging bosses in quick succession, while Purified Memories lets you refight any previously defeated boss one at a time.
Sporting a minimalistic “ditherpunk” art style, the game starts off with the mysterious disappearance of a girl called Tanya Kennedy – as well as the uncomfortable fact that you were the last person to be seen with her.
Set in a world devastated by a toxic miasma, the story follows John and Sam – a rugged miner and a young girl – as they escape from the subterranean city of Sandfill and head for the surface in hopes of finding a new life for themselves – well, what they do find is tons of adventure, plenty of unique locations and a colorful cast of quirky characters to befriend.
