Indiepocalypse #54
A downloadable game for Windows
ISSUE #54
Cover - Rafael Zaiats
Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!
Indiepocalypse is a curated monthly collection looking to highlight the very best of the alternative indie game scene.
Each month features games by 10 different developers, including a 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.
This Month's Games
gotta_take_the_pills (WIN/MAC) by pustoE83
a little dark visual haiku
Daisy Chain (WIN/MAC/Linux/Browser) by Crystal DeForest (of Air Gong)
Scientist Benjamin Holloway has, in body and mind, created a perfect duplicate of himself. His double looks like him, talks like him, and acts like him. But is he the same? Air Gong presents an interactive collage built in Decker: Daisy Chain, a story of identity and actualization.
Two Kinds of Timeless (WIN/MAC/Linux/Browser) by tooth bradley
Two Kinds of Timeless is a Twine story about the pervasiveness of everlasting love and how it affects a man who would rather be forgotten by it. Explore the perspective of two spirits trying to find each other again, their reunion interrupted by an eccentric peddler of curses.
PAN (WIN/Linux) by Dobra Studios, Ivan Papiol and NbMach1ne
Make GOD happy and get three coins from your neighbors by using your very limited communication skills of Hitting, Crying, Imitating Micael or Repeating the last thing the person said.
Traintracks Combat (WIN) by Lane "Sunshine" Howard
Traintracks Combat is an indie fighting game that takes place on the Chicago transit system. Choose your commuter and duke it out at the California Blue Line stop! Features 4 unique characters, free-form juggle combos, agile universal movement, and a parry!
Air Time (WIN/MAC/Linux) by Zenuel
A chill real-time passenger-sim all about vibes, silly interactions and being physically trapped in your seat for 3 hours.
the Death of the Video Star (WIN/MAC) by K Van Martin
Worthy Undone wakes up in the apartment of a woman who reincarnates people for a living, and has to deal with the world she created. Killing God is as easy as a baseball bat to the head and a lifetime of guilt afterwards; it's even easier when She stays dead, but Worthy isn't quite that lucky.
The Death of the Video Star is a visual novel about dealing with the aftermath of killing God, and maybe having to kill Her again.
A Snowball's Chance (WIN) by lavendersiren
Lead a party up a mountain as a gastromancer trail guide!
You know how to cook, but do you know how to cook for other people?
Make friends and hard choices as you try to get your team to the summit!
CRUST SHMUP (WIN/MAC) by Safe Crackers Entertainment
BLAST BEAT BULLET HELL HARDCORE ANARCHO ARCADE ACTION
*NEWLY COMMISSIONED FOR INDIEPOCALYPSE*
ANY SAND (WIN/MAC) by hexcavator
a point-and-click vignette recollecting a future-present that almost wasn't. ANY SAND is vaguely autobiographical, inspired by Palestinian resistance & resilience, & owes its name to Rasha Abdulhadi's words & work
*BONUS*Electric Zine Maker (WIN/MAC) by alienmelon

If I buy the physical version, do i get both the mac and windows versions of the games?
Yes, you get every listed version of each game.
Why 15 dollars? I see al the games are free… am I misisng something?
If you choose to go each dev's and play the games that way, that's also the anthology working as intended. I put them up for $15 to normalize paying for for more alternative games if people want to do that and because it takes time to both make these games and to cleanly curate them and present them.
I mean if the developers of those games you are selling are getting their fair share, it is nice….
But only if the money its not only for you…
Then I suppose it's a good thing that it says as much at the top of every page.
