ISSUE #9

Cover - Shirley Jackson // LIONINTHETREES

Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!

In its simplest terms, Indiepocalypse is just a bundle of games (common thing) packaged with a zine (also common thing) about the aforementioned games and comics, reviews and more!

Each month will feature games by 10 different developers.  Each issue I hope to bring together games that explore the breadth of what our art form has to offer. 

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

The Light Prince (WIN) by Christina Nordlander

You are a young prince, cursed from birth with being as light as dandelion down. Taken from your homeland and locked in a tower by your godfather, you need to return home, while being perpetually on your guard against the danger posed by the slightest breeze. A fantasy text adventure.

I Was Always Filled With Anger (WIN) by Raphaël Dely, Axel Rannou & Max Romain

Eat-It-All (Physical) by arya & nestgoblin

we’re a group of hungry friends, ready to journey to the best buffet around: the eat-it-all. out on the strip by i-93, the eat-it-all has the most luxurious food selection anyone has ever seen. for only $10.99, it’s an absolute steal. the only snack we have is a big bag of rainbow fortune cookies from the last time we went, and it’s tradition to take turns eating and reading the fortunes while we walk. the fortunes always light the way to that glorious sushi french toast at the eat-it-all. yum!

eat-it-all is an improvisational storygame by arya & nestgoblin. it's designed for 2-6 people to play in the span of 30 minutes to a couple hours. there's no game master, just fortune cookies to inspire the journey. we hope you enjoy :)

is it that deep, bro? (WIN) by moawling & cavegift

"Is It That Deep, Bro?" is a short VN made for Robert Yang's 2019 Gay Western Jam. Navigate the headspace of a teenager trying to figure out if he's on a date with his best friend.
