One of the best things about being an indie fan is that there is always more to discover. While I was over at PAX West this year (more on that soon!) I stole an opportunity to check out the Seattle Indies Expo. The show is a one-day deal, so if you miss it, you miss it. And I wasn’t planning on it. Walking in, I mused that its elbow-grease-filled setups and few-frills layout were, at its core, exactly the same thing as the bigger gaming event happening just blocks away: A room filled with treasures to find. Here are the gems I dug up.
Wanderling
Wanderling is a no-combat roguelike platformer about exploration. Die, retry, and mark your path deeper into a dungeon filled with traps and enemies. Besides enemies and traps, you’ll have to race against time. Plan your route and rush through the dungeon to make it out before time’s up! Each day, you’ll need to loot the dungeon and find your way back to the shop before night falls.
Creature Kitchen
Befriend your local wildlife and feed them their favorite snacks in this cozy atmospheric cooking simulator! With a strange house to search and forest to explore, the witching hour has only begun.
Super Choppy
