Welcome to GTOGG’s August 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”. That would’ve been too long for a title, though.
Set in a mysterious, magical world, the game stars Lucios, a humble lumberjack who gains the ability to manipulate the forces of gravity and rotate the world around him – which, as you would expect, lends itself quite nicely to all sorts of creatively designed puzzles where you’ll have to shift, turn and rotate your way to victory.
The game, which takes heavy inspiration from Slavic legends and folklore, stars a young sorceress by the name of Vasilisa on a supernatural quest to resurrect her beloved by tapping into the forbidden power of the titular Black Book.
Taking place across various locations on the East Coast of the US, players will have to face a literal army from hell as they try to close off the Gates of Death in order to put an end to an encroaching nightmare.
Controlling a young woman called Cassidy, players will have to traverse the various dreamscapes of her subconscious every night and fight off her inner demons using a host of reality-bending lucid powers.

And now we’re here to talk to you about them. So, without further ado, here are the six indie games we enjoyed the most during summer 2021’s Steam Next Fest:
Summer’s here! June is here! E3’s here! It’s time for some of the game industry’s top players to reveal some of their biggest games, which is all fine and good… but around these parts, we have a special love for indie darlings, and as such, we felt the need to take a look at some of most fascinating, interesting and promising indie titles at this year’s E3.
Featuring all the slow-motion gun fights you could ever want in your life, the game places you in the role of a determined man who must go up against the forces of darkness – werewolves, vampires, and various other assorted nasties.
Described by the team as “a love letter to Castlevania with modern elements,” Elderand places its focus on brutal, skill-based combat that punishes mistakes, all the while sending players on a journey that will see them explore dark, accursed lands and uncover all sorts of buried treasure.
