Hello Indie Game Fan Reader!

The Steam Summer Sale is currently on, so tell me, what did you get? (You can reply directly to this email).

​

I'm staring down Hello Kitty Island Adventure in my Cart, not because it's the greatest of deals (25% off and it's kind of pricey) but because I think my 4 year old might like it? Her favorite character at the moment is "My Melody", but you know how those change by the day with kids, so the whole suite of Sanrio characters does have it's appeal... If you have kids and have any other recommendations, do let me know as well.

​

Half of 2025 is over! How as the year been for you so far? Not too bad for me personally, although I'm seeing some storm clouds on the horizon which I will need to deal with.

​

Still, I'll keep going, bringing you the best that indie gaming has to offer!
