Welcome to GTOGG’s March 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.
The game follows the story of Caroline Walker, a young woman who wakes up alone in a mysterious mansion-turned-hospital and must tackle all kinds of horrors in her quest for survival.
Developer Silent Bear Studio and publisher Black Rose Projects have announced Dark Moonlight, a survival horror game dealing with inner fears and phobias. – trailer
Set in a dark and intriguing world, the game will let you choose between five playable characters – each with their own combat styles and abilities – as you embark on a journey rife with untold dangers.
Starring a determined knight on a quest to find the love of his love, Sir Lovelot is all about precise platforming while overcoming a host of dangers in over 40 levels, all for the sake of one goal – to collect gifts for the damsels you’re hoping to impress.
Naturally, we browsed and browsed until there was nowhere left to browse, and tried our hands at some of the more interesting-looking titles on offer – some of them proved to be just as pleasant as they seemed, while others were… well, disappointing, to say the least. But hey, such is life, you know? Box of chocolates and all that jazz.
Amnesia: Rebirth starts not entirely unlike its predecessor, although the circumstances surrounding it are quite different. Our protagonist, one Anastasie "Tasi" Trianon, suffers a catastrophic plane crash in the middle of the Algerian desert and wakes up in the wreckage realizing that the rest of the crew is nowhere to be found – what’s more, she also has trouble remembering exactly what happened to them.
The weather is getting chilly, the leaves are turning yellow, and the Steam Game Festival is back – and so are countless intriguing demos waiting for you to try them. Here are our personal picks:
In Vaporum: Lockdown you follow the adventures of Ellie Teller, a scientist just trying to make it out alive from a mechanical tower called Arx Vaporum where all hell seems to have broken loose, with robots, mutated roaches and steampunk zombies attacking everything in sight.
Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”, a tale about a man turning into a hideous insect in his own bedroom, is probably one of the most iconic and important literary works of the early 20th century – as such, it comes as no surprise to me that a video game would attempt to use it for inspiration.
