Indie Games Thread Anonymous 04/18/2025 (Fri) 01:14:38 Id: 275a7f No. 1123233
Discussion, previews and reviews of Indie Games. What indie games have you played recently? I'm gonna write stuff about Indie Games i've played in 2025 so far. Bunch of good games. --- I recently finished GIRLS MADE PUDDING a rare indie game made by japanese devs. You play as 2 girls on motorcycle, venturing the world where everyone suddenly disappeared. The core gameplay is looting ingredients and cook foods to unlock dialogues between the girls about bunch of topics, especially the state of the world and future plan. There are also 2 side characters. The dialogues are fun & Comfy and the worldbuilding (mystery behind the disappearance) is great. Kinda like Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou + yuribait

isn't the green haired one the one who got married and cucked her entire simp fanbase? lmao Wait, so this isn't even a japanese game... EN v-tubers yikes...
No, I'm not a Human came out
>>1755420 >vtubers lol >>1751512 What type of game is it?
>>1755420 So it's Anomaly Watch, but outside the Mandela Catalogue universe, and an actual game? It's neat to see a new genre spring up, and to see it develop. Though the mechanics seem more Papers, Please than anomaly hunting.
>>1755420 Nice, can't wait to watch someone play it! >>1755422 Sort of a "who's the impostor" kind of game. You let wandering people into your house and they either are or aren't human. Then you ask questions and observe certain features the news tells you about the monsters and can decide whether or not to kill them. The demo itself leaves a lot of what's really happening up in the air, but it's executed very well.
>>1755498 It has an actual story for once, I got one ending and some question I need answer for now
>>1682943 You bastard. You didn't say this was a horror game!
>>1751512 After completing it on "normal" difficulty equivalent and ignoring that all the characters in the game are vtubers, I thought it was pretty alright.
Megabonk is crack. Risk of Rain + Vampire Survivor. It's stupid as shit but has incredibly tight gameplay to the point you can bunnyhop across the map.
>>1777098 That sounds pretty fun. Here's hoping it doesn't also get bought out by Gearbox and whored to shit.
>>1486412 I liked Staffer Reborn more. For all the jank, sometimes weird writing or "morals" the story tried to tell in Staffer Case, there is one chapter which had one of the most creative twists in the entire genre, as you said. It just went bonkers. I seriously didn't expect that

Cultic Chapter 2 is out, I really liked the first Chapter and so far Chapter 2 hasn't disappointed.
>>1778637 Been playing it for a while and it's not very good, the level design and enemy placement is all over the place. Feels like a completely different person made this. It's like Duke it Out in DC
>>1777098 I hated Risk of Raid 2 with a burning passion. Played it for 45 minutes total, 30 of which were spent looking for the shrine thing to reach the next level.
>>1238988 fun game
>>1785296 Are you retarded? Out of all the things that went wrong with that game the level design is probably one of the least offensive things.

Anyone try out this SurrounDead game before? Been out for a three years apparently but first time hearing about it.
synthetik 2 is such a dissapointment
>>1790511 There's a good review of that game comparing it a one hit wonder, especially when their attempt at a second hit is repeating the first one but different vid related
>Is This Seat Taken? Nice puzzle game
>>1790511 >Synthetik 2 I refunded the game like 2 or 3 years ago after 1 hour, shit was ass and far inferior to the first one
>>1793015 The older I get the more I appreciate simpler puzzle games. I pray this doesn't lead me down the casual route so I try to balance it out with severely autistic strategy games.

>>1794107 Get into Factorio and it will cancel out.
>Kemono Teatime Wow, this game DESTROYED me. A "cozy" cafe game very similar to Valhalla and Hookah Haze. I thought this was a Chinese weeb game, but it's actually Japanese. A Kemonovirus worldwide pandemic happened and turned a lot of people into a Kemonomimi. At first they grow animal ears. after 6-12 months, they grow a tail. and then within a month, the Kemonofication accelerated and cased an organ failure, leading to death. You, a human girl with a Kemonomimi little sister who just recently grew a tail are running a cozy tea cafe in a town full of Kemonomimis. Well, you know what to expect from this setting. The story and writing are very enjoyable. It's mostly about relationship with customers and how they cope with their or their loved one's limited time. The gameplay itself is repetitive with quite an overwhelming number of tea to brew per day (around 5). There's a Bond system with customers that when maxed, they will leave a message in the epilogue. I failed to get max Bond with a character that died early because I didn't have their favorite Blend, which are obtainable through annoying end of day item selection RNG. This issues persist throughout the whole game because customers keep asking for Tea/Herbs that I didn't have yet. Game length = 21 in-game days, around 12-15 hours irl. I feel like it's a little bit too long and slow paced. 8-10 hours would suffice. Still very recommended.
>>1796122 Japan is really good at making EXPRESSIVE, cute games. It's full of SOVL, the thing that the Chinese weeb games struggle to replicate. I'm once again recommending GIRLS MADE PUDDING for a cute apocalyptic cozy game >>1123233
Now I just have to finish Shuten Order. This game just doesn't fucking end! For indie games, I guess I'll start Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo today. a low-budget anime VN without any voice acting. I expect a snoozefest, but I'll try anyway. and then there's also Mala Petaka too, a colorful classic. DOOM-like
>>1796122 >great japanese story game that's held back by absolutely retarded gameplay decisions no sane person would ever think to implement like that Every Single Time
Actually interesting use of the roguelike element, for once: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3314790/CloverPit/
>>1755420 So uh, has anyone actually played it? I watched someone play it and really liked the tone and art, but like I've heard a lot of people say it really could have just been a visual novel and lost nothing. Especially for 20 bucks, I mean good for the dev but no way in hell I'd pay that much for a game like this. Really interesting how many of the characters are either inspired by or outright traced from other media, even real world stuff.

Get ready for a voxel art action game featuring an unprecedented level of freedom! A whole range of cute girl monsters are waiting to punch, kick, wrap you up, suck your blood, and eat you right up.
>>1809024 >copying the Steam blurb verbatim I would honestly have guessed this was a vore fetish game from that.
>>1809213 Oh no wait it is lmao
>>1807452 It's pretty shit. Like you said the art and tone are great, but the gameplay is genuine dogshit, don't waste your money on this, just pirate it

>>1810094 Closer to Deus Ex in terms of gameplay but I thought it looked cool as well.
