Paranoia is one of the most powerful emotions in horror. It doesn’t take a jumpscare or a monster lurking in the dark to make your heart race—sometimes it’s the simple question of “can I trust them?” that does the job. No, I’m Not a Human, developed by Trioskaz and published by CRITICAL REFLEX, thrives on this exact feeling. It’s a horror game about isolation, trust, and the terrifying possibility that the person knocking on your door isn’t who they say they are. With its grim atmosphere, haunting soundtrack, and mechanics built around suspicion, it’s one of the most unique indie…

Most games cast you as the hero battling through dungeons, fighting monsters, and eventually clashing with the ominous final boss. The Dark Queen of Mortholme flips that script. In this short-form indie title from Mosu and Monster Theater, you play not as the plucky adventurer but as the endgame villain herself: the Dark Queen. It’s a clever twist on the familiar formula, one that mixes pixel art action, visual novel-style dialogue, and themes of inevitability, perspective, and change. The result is a small but striking experience that lingers longer than its half-hour runtime might suggest. Playing the Final Boss You…
Twirlbound’s The Knightling arrives as a whimsical yet ambitious open-world action-adventure, released on August 28, 2025, and published by Saber Interactive. At its heart lies a familiar fantasy premise with a unique twist: instead of wielding a mighty sword or enchanted staff, you’re armed with nothing but a legendary shield. You play as the Knightling, an eager apprentice tasked with finding your missing mentor, Sir Lionstone, protector of the realm. With his shield in hand and Clesseia in peril, you’re thrust into a journey of exploration, discovery, and proving your worth. “Venture through Clesseia as a shield-wielding hero on a…
R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series has always been a balancing act—creepy enough to make your skin prickle but playful enough to keep you coming back for more. Goosebumps: Terror in Little Creek, developed by PHL Collective and published by GameMill Entertainment, steps into that legacy with an original story, nostalgic callbacks, and a mix of stealth, puzzles, and light combat. But does it capture the magic of Stine’s legendary paperbacks, or does it stumble like a kid tripping over his shoelaces in a haunted basement? A New Tale in a Familiar World Unlike past Goosebumps games that leaned heavily on Slappy…
Roguelite shooters have become one of the most crowded corners of gaming in recent years. From Gunfire Reborn to Roboquest to Ziggurat 2, players hungry for randomized chaos and quick-fire action have plenty of options. But Holy Shoot (developed and published by Tale Era Interactive) storms onto the scene with a uniquely satirical twist: what if Hell itself became a playground for misfit heroes, ridiculous weapons, and over-the-top demonic bosses straight out of the Seven Deadly Sins? Released on July 30, 2025, Holy Shoot is a fast-paced roguelite FPS that combines comic-book humor, Doom-style shooting, and a build-focused progression system.…
“Survive a nuclear apocalypse with friends aboard a scrap-fueled train. Raid bunkers, craft gear, dodge traps, and keep the engine burning—every item counts when the world is gone.” All Aboard the Last Train The apocalypse doesn’t end with silence—it keeps moving, fueled by desperation and whatever scraps can be scavenged from the ruins. That’s the central premise of Dreadway, the upcoming co-op horror survival game from ZweiBier Indie. Unlike many survival titles that drop you into open wastelands or forests, Dreadway pins your fate to a single fragile lifeline: a battered train cutting through a nuclear-ravaged world. The train is…
