Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I'll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it's a hidden gem tbh, but it's such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

Shadows of doubt is a sandbox detective game. You are a detective and you have to solve crimes, which are totally randomized. What makes this interesting is that the world does not stop:

  • the NPCs actually have daily routines
  • the murderer might not stop killing
  • you can talk with anyone
  • and so much more

It is truly a sandbox! I havent played it too much yet, but i feel if i really start playing it, then i will skip going to bed!

I bought that game a while back, but I couldn't get into solving anything. Maybe I was just playing it wrong or something.

I mean, if Josh from Let's Game it Out fucked around nonstop in almost every possible way and still "solved" a case, I doubt you could be playing the game wrong 😆
