I am an indie dev and former game journo, and I run a newsletter where I share recommendations of cool indies coming out every week. I’m not going to link to it here but I thought I could drop an interesting find on here.
LOVE ETERNAL is a brutal platformer with a psychological horror story behind it. A soft sequel to an insane platformer called LOVE that took 7 years for someone to actually beat it or something like that. This has some of the edges sanded down, and does some really unexpected things. Worth checking out if you love hard platformers.
I hope this becomes a series. I would enjoy reading of new indie games every day.
I plan to do it! I do a weekly newsletter that features 5 games every week so I’ll just post one a day over here with a little snippet and it should be golden.
I started the newsletter to bring more awareness to indies. As an indie dev myself, it’s really hard out there to get people to see your game these days.
Thank you a lot for your work! I agree it’s difficult to discover indie titles. Most channels only cover either AAA games, or the “famous” indie games (Hollow Knight, Hades, etc…). It’s a lot more difficult to discover truly obscure stuff, which is a shame because a lot of great games get ignored and forgotten quickly. My favourite game from the last decade was an indie game that I discovered randomly, and it’s a shame I could have missed it just as easily. Makes me wonder how many “favourite” games I missed over the years.
Well you can’t leave me hanging, what was the game?
Ha ha, you’re right, sorry :P
It was CrossCode! It single-handedly reignited my interest in gaming after a few slow years. Then left me disappointed when no other game managed to capture my heart as it did :(
CrossCode is a great game! I never finished it, not because I didn’t love it, I just had other things going on at the time. I need to go back though!
Those folks are working on something new. I can’t remember what it’s called right now. But that is a studio who is very dedicated to their craft.
