ISSUE #57

Cover - insects

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 anthology. 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.

Aquatic Grave (WIN/MAC/Browser) by LiminAce

Emmy's Lab Escape (WIN/Game Boy) by Natasha Luna

It is the year 2X8X. Many things have changed in the world, but one thing hasn't: the predilection of people to gather once a year based on a shared interest. That's what led Emmy, self-proclaimed Queen of Science and regular violator of the laws of physics, to attend the XXth Annual Mad Scientists' Convention. It all seems to be going well...until she ends up trapped in a demonstration lab!

And to make it worse—or better?—she's not alone. It wouldn't be a convention of mad scientists without more than a bit of chaos, would it?
