Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

Summer Showcase season as begun, with a few this past week, a few in the coming week and more after that, with the main Summer Game Fest being on June 5th, so if you're in the mood, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring with my own, catch it on the YouTube channel on 2nd June, 8AM Pacific.

​Upcoming Games of 2026

​Legacy of Pandora - Play as Pyrrha, daughter of Pandora after the opening of the Jar in this turn-based monster tamer rogue-like set across a world drawn from Greek mythology.

Capture and corrupt creatures called Kakodemons to face mortals and gods, with eight different corruption paths including Violence, Greed, Disease, Pride and more, twisting the same base creature into radically different forms.

• Strategic turn-based combat exploiting strengths and weaknesses.
• Combat goes beyond counter-picking since status effects like poison and bleeding are critical
• Make moral choices for story events as you move across the node based map

The Steam Playtest is live, get access here.
