Admiring more upcoming indie games
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This time, my eye has been caught by an adventure game inspired by Flann O’Briend, a celebrity reality show in a McMansion, livestreamed occult horror rituals, and more.
I’m very up for Flann O’Brien foolishness (and have been since a time when it was neither profitable nor popular):

Rollerblading game Miszou has an attention-grabbing pitch and chill vibes, and apparently it’s set atop giant turtles:

This ice cream is merely a wee tech demo but it’s cool (and looks good too):

I am interested in the puzzle potential of things not moving? not existing at all? when I look away:

Expect useful household hints in darkwebSTREAMER (coming to Itch), an occult horror game about trying to become the top streamer on a weird web:

Vast quantities of violence in the Devil May Cry-inspired metroidvania Magenta Horizon (work-in-progress version available on Itch):
One of the Reaper Difficulty arenas in Act 2. You can feel your physical stamina draining out while playing this, and it’s a damn good sign that it’s working as intended. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #MagentaHorizon pic.twitter.com/39JoKTrObz
