ISSUE #20

Cover - Teal Sather  

Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!

Indiepocalypse is a curated monthly collection looking to highlight the very best of the DIY indie game scene. 

Each month will feature games by 10 different developers, including newly commissioned game exclusive to the bundle-zine. The games cover a wide variety of styles, genres, and themes as they fight against any definition of "indie game" as a genre.

Also, and this part is very important to me and should truly be taken as given, each contributor is paid and developers are paid royalties on all future sales.

*NOTE* Fuzz Dungeon is too big and needs to be uploaded on its own. Unzip it and put it in the "Jeremy Couillard" folder and it should be fine

This Month's Games

Will Die Alone (WIN/MAC) by Arianna Ravioli

The first breakthrough for Alex came when her best friend Vince realized that some memories are not meant to be kept. The second coincided when she was hired by Dewitt Corp. On paper, the task is simple: to delete her clients’ painful memories so that they could be happy again. Her new job begins in two days. Alex will find herself lonely and in the middle of nowhere with an assignment that no one wants to do. She must make hard choices. Her entire world resides in her computer, but reality will keep intruding. All she can do is pray and hope that nothing bad will happen to her family while she is stuck in virtual hell. Will Die Alone is a journey through painful memories. It’s a game about loss, the role of the past, and possible futures. Every choice comes with a price. Will you be willing to pay?
