This week's indie game roundup highlights a mix of genres including horror, adventure, and simulation. The author shares a personal experience with a relaxing IDLE game, The DVD idle game. Notably, Frogwares has released a remastered version of The Sinking City, and Palia, a life sim reminiscent of Animal Crossing, has landed on new platforms. The article also introduces The Precinct, an action sandbox game where players restore order and solve personal mysteries, all amidst mixed reviews, showcasing the variety and creativity in the indie game scene.
Idle games aren't usually my kind of thing - I'd rather be actively doing things - but one I spotted on Itch.io offered some temporary respite from a virus I was dealing with.
The Sinking City has a history that's even odder than some of the Eldritch horrors that lie within. Now, developer Frogwares has remastered its self-published detective thriller in Unreal Engine 5.
Free-to-play fantasy adventure life sim Palia (which is what you might get if you smushed together Animal Crossing and World of Warcraft) landed on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S this week.
In this action sandbox title from developer Fallen Tree Games and publisher Kwalee, you'll play as a rookie officer who tries to restore order in his city.
