In a world where indie horror games are taking unexpected turns—be it underwater, in the woods, or inside clown-filled VHS nightmares—Mining Company asks a different question: What if capitalism was the real monster all along? Developed by SoG, this scrappy online co-op horror game throws 1–4 players into space with one objective: pay off your company’s brand-new spaceship before the intergalactic debt collectors (and actual monsters) come calling. It’s a weird blend of survival horror, resource trading, and multiplayer mining chaos, and while it’s far from polished, it hits just enough absurd notes to make it a co-op gem—if you…

Welcome Home. You Probably Shouldn’t Have Come Back. House of Lost Souls wants to pull you into a slow-burning, memory-haunted nightmare set inside a rotting family mansion. You play as Jack, a man returning to his childhood home in the wake of deep personal trauma. The house, once a place of warmth, is now a surreal space of whispers, flickering lights, and doors that groan open as if reluctant to reveal the past. It’s a psychological horror story at heart. And while it shoots for emotional depth and thematic weight—grief, guilt, mental illness—it also fumbles some of the basics, like…

If you’ve ever wanted to experience a haunted house through the lens of an unhinged soap opera and a broken Google Translate script, Back: Fade is your new obsession. This wildly bizarre full-motion video (FMV) horror game from an indie Chinese studio is a chaotic cocktail of jump scares, surreal storytelling, and dialogue so broken it loops around to genius. Back: Fade is the second installment in the Back series and doubles down on everything that made the first game so strange. This time, protagonist Ren Xing awakens in a hospital, only to discover he’s been yanked back into the…

What Is Lost Skies? At its core, Lost Skies is a co-op survival game that trades grounded forests and caves for a vast, floating archipelago in the sky. Up to six players can explore, craft, and build together across massive airborne islands. But the game’s secret weapon isn’t its crafting or enemies—it’s its movement. You’re not just scavenging for resources—you’re grappling across gaps, gliding through clouds, and piloting rickety skyships you build yourself. It’s a blend of Valheim, Just Cause, and Breath of the Wild with a dash of chaos you’d expect from a Garry’s Mod session. And while the…

Building a Frontier With Brains, Not Brute Force Border Pioneer is a turn-based strategy game that blends the careful planning of a city builder, the fast-paced tension of tower defense, and the randomness of card-based gameplay into something that feels genuinely new. Developed by Gamer Sky Games and published by Yogscast Games, it’s part roguelike, part base sim, and part deckbuilder—with enough depth and charm to satisfy strategy veterans and indie fans alike. Though its pixel-art visuals may look unassuming, this is one of those quiet indie titles that sneaks up on you. The core gameplay loop—draw cards, place buildings,…

Norse Gods Meet Relentless Roguelike Carnage The bullet heaven genre isn’t slowing down, but Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel manages to carve out its own place in the chaos. Developed by an ambitious indie team and currently on Steam Early Access, it throws players into a gritty Norse afterlife filled with gods, monsters, and endless waves of enemies. If you’ve been itching for a Vampire Survivors-style experience that’s less gothic and more godlike, Jotunnslayer could be exactly what you’re looking for. It doesn’t reinvent the survival roguelike formula, but it delivers fast action, deep build possibilities, and a strong mythological flavor…
