We just went through April 2021 with a lot of exciting titles from various game companies. Riot is preparing to create the “MMO version of League of Legends” with a dating version of Valorant, while in China, there’s a hot martial arts-style Battle Royale game called NARAKA: BLADEPOINT…
Meanwhile, the indie game market is also bustling with excitement. The clearest evidence is the emergence of 10 super interesting indie games below, waiting for you to explore.
TaleSpire is not exactly a complete game; rather, it serves as a tool for enhancing board games. Essentially, TaleSpire allows you to bring board games to life with incredibly vivid and realistic visuals and sounds. The game enables the dungeon master to create unique and mysterious locations, detailed characters, and terrifying monsters lurking everywhere.
The indie game company Bouncyrock Entertainment did not disappoint players with a plethora of features and elements that allow gamers to customize and personalize to their liking. Thanks to this, each dungeon master will have the opportunity to leave their own mark on their creations. Although still in Early Access, the feedback from players has generally been very positive.
In the future, Bouncyrock Entertainment plans to add a rule system and many other cool features, promising to change the way we play board games.
Rain on Your Parade is a fun indie game where you play as a small, cute cloud tasked with ruining people’s work and fun days. Although you appear as an ordinary, gentle cloud in the sky, you have the ability to create rain, snow, acid rain, storms, or even meteor showers… You can choose any ability you like, as long as it makes humans suffer.
For instance, you can create snow to make the road slippery, causing a man to slip onto the road and be knocked away by a car. The car will then lose control and crash into a nearby bus station, causing others to suffer as well. It sounds horrific, but since the game has a cute and humorous design, it probably isn’t a problem.
The game will have a total of 50 levels, each with different levels and objectives, such as a busy pedestrian walkway, a bus station, and a wedding… for you to wreak havoc.
Before Your Eyes is a first-person narrative adventure game that immerses you in an emotional story blending joy and pain. More importantly, you can completely control the content of the story, and naturally, your decisions will also influence the game’s ending.
Before Your Eyes features a clever mechanism, as this game uses your webcam to track your eye movements to control the game. Every time you blink, time passes very quickly.
Some of you might think that using a camera is just a gimmick to market the game; however, in reality, this feature has been working very well so far, providing players with a unique experience without any bugs.
Hitchhiker – A Mystery Game is a hitchhiking simulation game. You play as a mysterious character with amnesia walking along one of the desolate highways of America. After hitching rides with five different drivers, you will gradually uncover the reason behind your strange wandering and hitchhiking behavior.
Besides the meaningful stories you will hear from the drivers during your hitchhiking trips, the game also requires you to solve some puzzles related to the car’s interior you are sitting in or the scenery you have passed. If you pay close attention, although the character models in the game can sometimes appear a bit stiff, you won’t feel strange.
On the contrary, players will feel friendly and approachable because the voice actors in this game have done a great job: delivering emotional lines as if they are pouring their souls into the character models.
