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!
Tearscape
A 2D action-adventure that looks like it came straight from the golden age of the Game Boy Color, Tearscape is a retro-flavored journey about exploring a world filled with dungeons, secrets and countless dangers – including challenging bossfights that will most certainly put your skills to the test.
The Dark Rites of Arkham
A Lovecraftian point & click adventure game from Postmodern Adventures, the creator of An English Haunting and Nightmare Frames, The Dark Rites of Arkham takes you to the streets of the titular Arkham as you and your partner try to untangle a murder mystery… that only ends up leading to further questions. As a side note: I’ve actually reviewed this one. So… you know. Check it out.
Master of Piece
A deckbuilding roguelike inspired by board games, Master of Piece has you recruit mercenaries and combine their unique abilities as you journey into a dangerous world enveloped by a black fog.
Heaven Does Not Respond
An analog horror game set in an alternate 2005, Heaven Does Not Respond puts you in the role of an intelligence agent whose job is to try and recover files from a murdered man’s computer in order to uncover the truth behind his death.
Omelet You Cook
Omelet You Cook describes itself as a “cozy chaotic cooking roguelike” where you make omelets from hilariously random ingredients brought to you on a conveyor belt. Does pineapple go on an omelet? It’s time to find out.
Jackal
It’s the 1970s, and you’re a coked-up hitman with a mission – massacre all the crime bosses in Vegas. Wanna create a bloodbath? Go right ahead.
The Pale Piper
A precision platformer with gorgeous pixel art and a delightfully dark atmosphere, based on the legend of the Pied Piper. Think fast, move fast… or pay the ultimate price.
