Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

It was a MASSIVE week of new releases, so between Ratatan, Easy Delivery Co., Strange Antiquities, No, I'm not a Human, Little Witch in the Woods and more, tell me, what have YOU been playing? (no worries if it's still Silksong, I'm still trying to get through that)

​

Next week is looking HUGE as well in terms of releases, with Tokyo Game Show going on, when then feeds into the Autumn Sale the following week, so it's a great time to be an indie game fan!
