ISSUE #22

Cover - Flynn Nicholls  

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.

stargazersasha's THE GIRLFRIEND OF MY GIRLFRIEND IS MY FRIEND is a simple, heartfelt TTRPG about art, magic, and coming of age as a trans young adult.

After Triumph (WIN/MAC) by Nick Murray

After Triumph is a walk across an uncanny landscape. A text-based tarot-reading walking simulator. The walk is long, but the game is short. (approximately five minutes to get through to an ending.)

The game plays as a journey and also a reading of the major arcana. Each half sort of divines the other.

Spirited Suites is a quirky 3D Puzzle Platformer following a space explorer who crash lands on a mysterious planet, leading to his demise. However, that doesn't stop him from exploring the strange hotel towering over him! Use your lifeless corpse to battle, solve puzzles, and reach the top of the hotel to retrieve your ship and return home. Be cautious. You never know what might be hiding in Spirited Suites Hotel!

Were|House (WIN/MAC) by Sad Ghost Studios
