A crazy single player tank shooter where you have to defend against an alien invasion in over the top battles. There’s a demo available which you can download below. I think I was sold after the tank deployed from the sky but I haven’t been able to give the demo a try yet, hopefully it plays as well as it looks. Currently scheduled for release in Summer 2016.

“A team of indie-developers are excited to present a new single player project will offer you a spectacular journey through destroyed cities, with epic battles, a gripping storyline and a cool tank, a good mood is guaranteed!”

[gfycat data_id="DarkDependableBengaltiger"][gfycat data_id="ImpoliteWhiteJerboa"][gfycat data_id="EllipticalDisastrousDevilfish"][gfycat data_id="UniformElementaryAmericanrobin"][gfycat data_id="FrenchScratchyJaguar"]

A beautiful exploration and adventure game, and yet still in very early development.

“This adventure is about Kay, who has turned into a black monster, and her journey to find out what happened to her.

“On her search to change, she soon finds out that her biggest enemies are not the huge monsters that she meets on her way through the Sea of Solitude, but something way more dangerous.”

Tulpa: Imagination Games

developed by MIDERY

[gfycat data_id="SphericalHilariousCrossbill"][gfycat data_id="HeftyWhisperedAfricanparadiseflycatcher"]

A visual novel that’s an update to the original which was released in Russian. It has already gone through Steam Greenlight and is intended to be released for free when it’s completed.

“From the day you are born, society tells you what to think, what to believe, what to do… Society makes us who we are but all this is just meaningless! It doesn’t matter, who you really are – a schoolboy, an asylum patient, or a private detective.
It makes no difference at all who you are when you are insane.”
