Indies have been booming in 2025. What are your top 5? I'm reserving these blank spaces for Tamashika and Pigface. And Heartworm releasing at the end of the month. Indie gamers are feasting gluttonously.

don't even think there has been anything decent on the indie side this year
weirdly the scene has been lacking just as much as triple gay's lately

i can see promise mascot agency winning indie GOTY, but personally I was soured on it by the end, the management side is too braindead and the open world only has collectibles, not gameplay

Ender Magnolia wasn't crazy but i enjoyed it a lot. Doubt it'll win anything though since it's a metroidvania and that genre is saturated.

I was having a fun time with the start of the Urban Anime game, but the end of the first episode was utterly ridiculous and completely ruined the mystery and drama of the entire episode and started hyping up muh world ending and that's when I realized this was way too Japanese (Read: Retarded) for me

The girl getting blackmailed into joining the Dissolution Center upset a few people too lol

I bought Everdeep Aurora, looking forward to checking it out.

>>715714195
I found it but it was filtered because it has a certain tag. Y'hate to see it.

>>715718743
Is it the LGBTQ tag? Yeah, their last game had yuri route with the titty goat-head girl.

>>715719343
they had a really stupid conversation about whether transsexuals would be affected by a curse that targeted yakuza men and the pinky sidekick is openly bisexual and gets horny over both sides.

tell me more about everdeep aurora. Looks like Zelda 2/Simon's Quest tier exploration kino.

quick bump, I'll post some stuff

>>715722617
I'll post a 2025 list after these, will take me a bit to make though

I haven't played it yet but I think it's more of a Steamworld Dig like. I picked it up because it looks like it's got good secret hunting shit like Master Key.

here we go. went through 172 games I've been keping tabs on that released in 2025, or are set to release
some of these might not be fully indie, idk the term has become harder to define in recent years

uh... Mirage Feathers was alright...? Pretty sure the dev team is /here/ as well.There is really nothing else I can think of

>>715724103
>Beyond the Ice Palace 2
Oh so this is just a list of indie games and not good ones?

>>715724103
Peri is still in early access.
Beyond Citadel released on January 2nd and is a full release (despite the in-game build number saying 0.9x). There is some nudity but it's not a porn game. Unless I can't read and there are other factors that prevent it from being on the list

I've yet to play an indie that released this year.
Demon Tides demo was great.

>>715725913
I missed that one, my bad. also wasn't aware of both OP's games. hard to keep up since so much releases each year

>>715724103
>>715725913
Oh and Metal Garden released this March

>>715712873 (OP)
Fnaf Sotm

>>715712873 (OP)
project nortubel wins

>>715727498
that's too obscure even for me. so obscure only you know what it is.
