Admiring more upcoming indie games
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. 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):

(Former RPS columnist) Leigh Alexander is working on something with the co-creator of Caves Of Qud, with a concept which makes me double-take every time I read it. Seethis follow-up tweetfor more on the people you’ll meet, and how they’ll behave.

Rollerblading game Miszou has an attention-grabbing pitch and chill vibes, and apparently it’sset 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:
