Indie games have gained significant popularity in recent years, showcasing unique gameplay and innovative storytelling. This year, several indie titles have caught our attention, and we believe they are worth watching. These games not only push the boundaries of creativity but also offer fresh perspectives on gameplay mechanics. At Smeelyan, we celebrate the spirit of indie game development and the incredible talent within the community.
One standout title is ‘Spiritfarer, ‘ a beautifully crafted game that explores themes of life and death through stunning visuals and heartfelt storytelling. Players take on the role of a ferrymaster, guiding spirits to the afterlife while building relationships along the way. Another notable mention is ‘Hades, ‘ which has redefined the roguelike genre with its engaging combat and rich narrative.
