Hi, I'm Sarah! I've been excited about indie games for years now, and it was such an eye-opening experience to find so many different types of games to play. There's literally something for everyone!

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!Steam Next Fest October just finished and it was a lot. I got so overwhelmed with the sheer number of games that I had to close the store page. And then just didn't really go back. It did highlight just how much AI games have exploded in recent months and that Steam really needs a filter for them. While I was hiding from the Steam sales, I ended up starting a crochet project and listening to audio books instead. I did still play some games...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!How are you going after the absolute influx of amazing games that were released in September? I started getting decision paralysis because there were just so many games to choose from. Did you have the same issue? What did you end up playing? Reply and let me know! Even though there were a lot of games to play this month, I did actually get a chance to play all of my suggested September releases(below). I think it's the first time that has...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!It's been a while since I sent one of these! I stopped sending this newsletter because I started getting anxious about finding games with fewer than 10 reviews. Steam really makes it that hard! I believe I have solved this issue though and am ready to get back to letting you know about the awesome indie finds I've been playing. Recently I've been playing... Consume Me! I found Consume Me quite challenging. Not because the gameplay is...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!March was an excellent month for indie gaming! I jumped in and played Expelled! and Wanderstop, but two games I backed also surprised me with releases! So, I'll also need to get into Spilled! and River Towns soon. Not only is it great to have so many games to play, but they're all so different too! That is the beauty of indie games. Back before I had discovered indie games, I would never have imagined getting to try so many different genres...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!February was a pretty laid back month for indie game releases, so I hope you got a chance to discover something special from your backlog. Did you know that How Long to Beat has HowLongToBeat Your Steam Collection? It lets you put in your Steam ID and returns how long each game in your library is. I was looking for something short to play and it definitely delivered for this month's game. I had forgotten I even owned it! Check it out and let...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!Hope you've all had a great start to the year and managed to tackle some of that ever-growing game backlog! I've been a bit out of the loop after going on holiday in January - As well as playing quite a bit of Infinity Nikki - So, I’m excited to dive back in and see what’s been happening in the indie gaming world. Recently I've been playing... Dungeons of Hinterberg The first thing I noticed about Dungeons of Hinterberg was the art style. I...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!I've been chatting to you for one year now! I hope I've been able to help you find a new favourite in 2024. If so, I'd love to know what it was! Reply and let me know. I'd also love to know what you think of the newsletter. One thing I've been wondering is when in the month is best to send it out. Would you prefer to see upcoming new releases so you can add them to your wishlist or learn about the games that released in that month, so you can...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie gaming friends!October was a pretty relaxed gaming month for me. I am part of two monthly gaming clubs, Geeks and Grounds and The Cozy Gaming Club (Discord link), but for October I wasn't playing either of their games. One I wasn't interested in (Signalis - let me know if you think I should play it) and the other I've already played (Night in the Woods), so this meant I was free to play whatever I liked. As I'm sure you know, sometimes making a decision...

Let's talk indie games! G'day indie game fans!Did you know I'm Australian? No? I'm Australian! We have a small, but mighty game industry and this week is Melbourne International Games Week, which celebrates all things Australian gaming. It also happens to include PAX AUS. The ultimate celebration of games! Like many of you (I'm assuming), I'm not enjoying the fun in Melbourne this week, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun too! Instead of sharing new releases this month, I thought I'd...

Let's talk indie games! Hello indie game fans!Have you seen the Steam Summer Sale?! I'm sure we all have. Over the weekend I made the mistake of checking out my Steam wishlist to see what was on sale. It felt like everything was on sale and I got a bit of decision paralysis. So, I thought for this month I'd focus on games I love that are currently discounted on Steam, and hopefully you'll find something new to love! Which brings me to my favourite game of last month! Recently I've been...
