Reasons to watch this @indieloupe.com review of ITAW - Nice things said about @freeze.ltd new game - His voice! Hard to tell if game review or guided meditation - There's a v big number at the end of review! (thanks for such a thoughtful piece, folks x) youtu.be/9ZUYYi7-zbc

New review! Today we're being mean about @freeze.ltd's new team-based tactical shooter, and the group of people we got teamed up with when we tried it out. Weird community, weirder vibes, kinda weird video. 4:3 aspect ratio looks nice, though! Watch it here:

I have no idea what it means nor what are the observed metrics, but thanks to a curator review, I learned that Heroes of the Seven Islands is rated 137th best Steam Hidden Gem steam250.com/hidden_gems #indiegames #gamedev

It’s our favourite quote ❤️

Y'know, we say a lot of different things about a lot of different games, yet THIS is the quote that gets picked up for promotional use...

Did we mention that we too have our "Best of Next Fest" video out?! Feat. 8 wonderful games from: @daedalic.bsky.social @freeze.ltd @friedemanna.bsky.social @meeplecorpgames.bsky.social @minakatadynamics.bsky.social @monovoid-co.bsky.social @spider.oddspider.com & Paper Cult!

The person(?) at the other end of the phone in CloverPit, from @panikarcade.bsky.social, asked us a question & we figured it would rude not to answer... So, are we even having fun? Short answer (0m1s): Yes. Long answer (11m0s): youtu.be/RW2SRVMsFmM #CloverPit #Gaming #IndieGames #PCGaming

Not enough people are playing/talking about Heroes of the Seven Islands! It deserves (in my humble opinion) bigger numbers than this – such a fun game, especially for fans of old-school CRPGs. Go play it!

Our latest review is now live: today it's Heroes of the Seven Islands from @rap2h.bsky.social and @2leftthumbs.bsky.social! It's a nostalgia-inducing romp, and probably our favourite game from the last month – definitely worth a play this weekend! Watch the video version here: youtu.be/uFBnBJfuYO4

You've got ten minutes free to listen to the weirdest take on this week's best game, right? @petermeiklejohn.bsky.social took a look at Henry Halfhead (@lululu.games) & came to some interesting conclusions... Watch it here (and then go play Henry!): youtu.be/XGktMbH6LYo

New game, new review! Henry Halfhead from @lululu.games is out now, and so is our review of it! Henry offers *a lot* of a fun, but that's not all there is to this little guy... Read it here: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/henr...

Hey, it's that video we promised yesterday! Have a watch and see why The Drifter (from @barney.powerhoof.com & @dave.powerhoof.com) is the game you should be playing this weekend... even if you don't typically like Point-and-Click Adventures. Full video here: youtu.be/oJRjSloxcmc

The Drifter from @dave.powerhoof.com & @barney.powerhoof.com is one of our favourite gaming experiences of 2025, and that's coming from a reviewer who (usually) doesn't get along with Point & Click Adventures. Read the review in all it's glory here, and find out why: www.indieloupe.com/the-drifter

What's that, in the corner of your eye? Something sinister, or a review for @tributarygames.bsky.social's new cosmic-horror card game? Occlude takes Solitaire and twists it into a ritual-performing game full of occult lore and horror. Watch our review of it here: youtu.be/N6PmMeahH6k

New video out! This time we're looking at Squeakross: Home Squeak Home from @alblune.bsky.social, which might well be the best nonogram/picross game going... Watch it here to learn why: youtu.be/uXTj9ATcOg0 #indiegame | #puzzlegame | #review

Click and Conquer is a new release that's doing relatively well on Steam... the only problem is, it's a blatant rip-off* of another #indiegame that came out a few months ago. We think it's worth discussing, so we made a video about it here: youtu.be/tL2V-BqZ-wo #videogames | #gamedev | #indiedev

We've had a quiet month while working away in the background on something a little special... A video on our most recent obsession, Many Nights a Whisper from @deconstructeam.bsky.social & @selkieharbour.com. The most impactful hour of gaming this year. Watch it here: youtu.be/zOyvwrpR1uA

What a thoughtful video essay on Many Nights a Whisper 💫 thank you for playing and for making this!!

Between the Six One Indie Showcase from @sixoneindie.com on the 22nd, and Thinky Direct from @thinkygames.com on the 29th, I feel like my watchlist is going to grow a hell of a lot bigger between now and the end of the month...

"My favourite deckbuilding roguelike in a long, long while, and I really hope it gets the attention it deserves." Our review for @ant-workshop.com's Into the Restless Ruins is now live! Read it here: indieloupe.com/into-the-res... #indiegame | #indiedev | #review | #roguelike

That Expelled! is still on under 100 Steam reviews is a crime (almost worth shoving someone out of a window over) – it's still on sale for two hours, so go get it now!

New review! This time it's for @highrookhorror.bsky.social - "The Horror at Highrook is, first and foremost, telling its players a story – and it does that masterfully." Read it here: www.indieloupe.com/the-horror-at-highrook #indiegame | #indiedev | #review

"It might not be so quadrilaterally BLENDO, but remains quintessentially so." Our review for @blendogames.bsky.social's Skin Deep is now live! Read it here: indieloupe.com/skin-deep

It might've been delayed by a bout of illness (and an equally serious bout of Blue Prince) but our video review for @paintbucket.de's excellent 'The Darkest Files' is finally live – we couldn't let this game slip by without one! Watch it here: youtu.be/dH6B4qCmVrQ #indiegame | #indiedev | #review

People 'not getting' Blue Prince is hurting my soul - some excellent advice from @rachelwatts.bsky.social over on Thinky Games to help beginners get the most out of this wonderful game:

Whatever your plans were for this evening, cancel them and go play Blue Prince. And then call in sick tomorrow and play Blue Prince. And then spend your weekend playing Blue Prince…

Blue Prince from @dogubomb.bsky.social is a mind-blowing masterpiece. Read IndieLoupe's review here: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/blue... Or watch/listen to it here: youtu.be/Ka5LZBglHso #blueprince | #review

The Darkest Files from @paintbucket.de sees players take the role of Esther Katz, a young prosecutor in 1950s Germany, offering a powerful reminder of the past at a time when it feels most needed. Read IndieLoupe's review here: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/the-... #indiegame | #review

No video reviews for a short while as @petermeiklejohn.bsky.social has no voice to record them with! His little review for @lente.me's Spilled! was uploaded not too long ago though - if you missed it, find it here: youtu.be/Jz5jDBApE5M

Urban Jungle is a solid debut from Kylyk Games, offering a plant-growing setting for lovers of #cosy games to get lost in. It receives a ★★★☆☆ (Good) from IndieLoupe.com. Read the full review here: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/urba... #indie | #game | #review

“I think more games need to open with a sequence of someone falling to their potential demise while Flight of the Bumblebee plays in the background”

How often do you get the opportunity to use the word “defenestration” in a review without it being completely excessive? Just in time for some light weekend reading, our review for @inkle.co's Expelled! is now live: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/expe...

A review for Block Shop?! 👀 So happy to read this review from @indieloupe.com ! #gamedev #review #puzzle

Our video review for Block Shop is also live! Check it out below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYd8...

Block Shop is a wonderful and challenging little puzzler, and an excellent, polished, debut from @foolbox.bsky.social. Read our review here: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/bloc...

Our most recent review is for @eviltrout.com's wonderful The Roottrees are Dead: www.indieloupe.com/reviews/the-...

Looks like we've been neglecting our BlueSky account! Let's put a stop to that.
