If you're ready for a fever-dream of a weekend, join me in Morsels!

My album Defeater is streaming everywhere. This record is the sound of 39 minutes of rainfall while you sit inside with the windows open. FFO: Modern Baseball, The Wonder Years, boygenius, Future Teens, Spanish Love Songs.

It's chilly out, but don't worry! Jr Editor of The Indie Informer, Noodles, managed to tuck herself into a blanket.

Remember The Indie Council's 2025 prediction bingo? We are playing to win today.

FINALLY i got to gush about how good Heaven's Vault is somewhere other than social media! Lovely, rare treat to be back on Tales from the Backlog.

I hope everyone will help me congratulate @th3hoopman.bsky.social on his debut at The Indie Informer! Read his wonderful work below:

The indie releases just keep dropping! Nov 17 - Forestrike (@forestrike.bsky.social) Nov 18 - Morsels (@annapurna.com) Nov 19 - Moonlighter 2 (@digitalsungames.com) Nov 20 - Monsters are Coming! (@ludogram.io) And more: the-indie-in-former.com/2025/11/03/2...

How many of these have you caught us gushing about on The Council? Congrats to all the nominees!

The Indie Informer team is incredibly proud of be a part of the judging for The Indie Game Awards. The only problem is it's going to be impossible to pick between so many stellar games... Our sincere congratulations to all the nominees!!

No Small Games was kind enough to invite me on to wax poetic about one of my favorite game of the year: Blue Prince!

Blue Prince fans, rejoice!! We're so honored that @finruin.bsky.social could join us to talk about this gorgeous and brain-exploding investigation roguelite from @dogubomb.bsky.social 🤩 Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts 🎧 nosmallgames.com/2025/11/ep-5...

2025 has been an amazing year for indies!

oh no they clipped it out 🫣

When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done. Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.

The nominees and presenters for the 2025 Indie Game Awards will be revealed tomorrow at 10 AM ET 🏆 🔗 www.indiegameawards.gg

Winter Burrow takes a welcoming approach to survival games. However, if you expect a purely cozy experience, you'll be in for a rude awakening. Warmth and chill conspire together to keep me wanting to play more.

Coffee Talk Tokyo coming in march! youtu.be/ztYenRdowj0?...

Reminder that I have a Starter Pack of all current and former Game Informer staff if you’re interested in following us. I don’t think I missed anyone, but let me know if I did, because I want to be all-inclusive and not leave anyone left out. go.bsky.app/Ea2R4VT

noclip_2 will have a feature on Ambrosia Sky by @softrains.bsky.social next week. The game's first act dropped on Steam this week too. store.steampowered.com/app/3580160/...

How do I get @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social involved with Made in New York City™️ @sixoneindie.com and @indiegameawards.gg? A Mayor Elect-hosted segment featuring independent NYC-developed games sounds pretty sick to me. My DMs are open, sir.

Fit as many knobs as you possibly can!

Prepare yourself. Nov 11 - Lumines Arise (@enhance-experience.com) Nov 11 - Possessor(s) (@heartmachine.bsky.social) Nov 12 - Winter Burrow (@pinecreekgames.com) Nov 13 - Gigasword (@studiohybrid.bsky.social) And so much more: the-indie-in-former.com/2025/11/03/2...

While I wait for Enshrouded's final release, the Wake of the Water update has rekindled my love of the world.

Like its tiny protagonist, Goodnight Universe takes determined but unrefined steps throughout its short journey.

Ambrosia Sky's protagonist, a space-sailing undertaker, tries to save humanity by studying the devastated corpses of her childhood community. If that doesn't grab you, the velvety traversal and satisfying physics might.

We are honored to welcome @finruin.bsky.social onto NSG this week! Jill is the Editor-in-Chief of @theindieinformer.bsky.social and one of the illustrious hosts of @theindiecouncil.com. We had a lovely chat, gushing about Blue Prince with Jill, and can't wait for you to hear it this Thursday!

We stopped wondering after the third one fired a warning shot

Cheers to the @dogwitchgame.bsky.social team! I couldn't put it down until I rolled credits!

Are you ready for a little indie therapy session? The Indie Council sits down to examine what next week's indie abundance means to us professionally and personally.

It's a good night.

With so many high-profile indies set to release, it would be easy for some games to slip by unnoticed. Luckily, The Indie Informer has the spotlight ready!

Happy Halloween!

Hell yes

Join me in a visit, this Halloween, to Blake Manor, a stately structure in the west of Ireland built on a foundation of blood and history. Here, a woman has gone missing.

Happy Halloween All! I'm going live with The Séance of Blake Manor right now to kick off the celebrations. Let's get spooky! www.twitch.tv/theindieinfo...

Happy Halloween! In this special episode of The Gamerheads Podcast, we welcome our friend Jill Grodt @theindieinformer.bsky.social to talk about the best indie games to play during this spooky season! What are your favorite spooky indie games? open.spotify.com/episode/4iVG...

Have you ever seen something you couldn’t explain, like there was something lurking in the shadows? Six One Publishing presents Blue Ridge Hunting, an online co-op horror cryptid hunting adventure by Jade Meadows 🐺 Play the demo and support on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jad...

Six One Publishing's first game is a co-op Appalachian horror adventure called Blue Ridge Hunting, and a demo is available starting today. gameinformer.com/2025/10/30/s...

Been obsessing over The Séance of Blake Manor this week, which is such an expertly written murder mystery deduction game. Really in awe of the way it can build this twisted, supernatural world but still deliver deeply human storytelling with the big occult mystery. www.polygon.com/the-seance-o...

Big ol’ day tomorrow at the metaphysical Six One Indie office 🐺 Media Friends: if I missed your inbox, shoot me a DM! Gnarly week 😅

I don't promote this enough outside of the podcast itself, but you can support All Things Nintendo on Patreon for as little as $3 a month. I love doing ATN, but it's a lot of time and work. $3 gets you access to the Discord, $5 gets you early and ad-free shows www.patreon.com/BrianSheaPod...

This Halloween, let's take a moment to remember the best stream of Visage (or just the best stream ever) with @stadnik.bsky.social @marcusstewart7.bsky.social with ghosts played by me and @itsvanaken.games Enjoy. www.twitch.tv/gameinformer...
