Cairn from @thegamebakers.com is going to stick with us for a long time. @mrkstep.bsky.social's review:

Live on Patreon is this week's Six One Plays! This week @mrkstep.bsky.social takes on the die and retry platformer Instinct from @andolink.bsky.social. Consider supporting us on Patreon to unlock more Plays, The Morning Peck show, Cooped Up podcast, and more!

From @lovelyhellplace.bsky.social and @dreadxp.bsky.social, the fantasy RPG Dread Delusion is making the jump from PC to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 this Spring.

We are STOKED to see that Dosa Divas from @outerloopgames.bsky.social is launching on April 14th across Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A demo is also available now to give yourself a taste of the flavorful turn-based combat in this spicy JRPG.

Orbitals looks to be out of this world after the new gameplay trailer kicked off this morning's Nintendo Partner Direct. The co-op adventure will launch this Summer exclusively for Switch 2.

You'd better be dam ready when Timberborn launches into 1.0 on March 5th on Steam.

@thekillingstone.com launches into Steam Early Access instead of a 1.0 launch on February 18th after playtesters gave feedback of becoming more invested in the narrative, and the team wanting to give them more of just that.

Hot Take: indies continue to rip and these early submissions kick ass.

ARPG Emberville launching into Steam Early Access this Summer; Alex Jordan and Doug Cockle join the fully voiced cast of characters.
