CAIRN — A DEEPLY INTROSPECTIVE SURVIVAL CLIMBER
YouTube video by Pawkt
Realism? Arcade? Introspection?
#Cairn somehow lands on all three.
This was a great #IndieGame climbing #Simulator that was quite mechanical, thoughtful, and philosophical as you make the silent ascent and start asking yourself one question:
Why The Actual Fuck Am I Doing This!?

A few #IndieGames I have planned, or have already worked on and reviewed. Since #SteamNextFest was such a huge time sink, it’s time to ramp up my workflow on a lot of these hiatus titles.
Some came from recommendations, others just lined up with my own interests.
Fun times :3

"Games used to be better"
It's not that games use to be better, it's that our perceptions were tempered and kept growing.
Blasted by PEAK everything we looked at #Indie projects.
I'll still try to sift through the chaos for you.
Nyeeeeeh~

I've added a Steam link to every single title, time stamps and so on. I'll also be messaging every publisher/agency I was in communication with, to help spread the news.
If you know someone? Feel free to share them this video and to maybe check out the rest of our channel :3
I hope this helps.

LOOK OUTSIDE — THE HORROR BEHIND BEAUTY
YouTube video by Pawkt
They told me do it.
They told me don’t.
What's a small bean to do!? So I escaped reality instead.
The #IndieGame #LookOutside earned its hype in recent months. It's unsettling, immersive and relentless!
Wish it relied less on eyes and teeth #Horror.
So much replay value for something so short!

I know. Boo hoo! Today’s my final day-#SteamNextFest.
Busy week and wanted to compile the #IndieGame showcase while it’s relevant, should take me 4 days tops.
If you haven’t recommended me something yet, now’s your chance to do so. I read any and all emails / comments.

Someone has to do the heavy work #SteamNextFest!
If you want to give out some recommendations for #SteamNextFest we're officially starting the "main" event showcases, already picked up 100 games prior to the event that more or less will be under the radar.
A lot of work ahead of me haha.

Wakes up.
Finds 50 new #SteamNextFest #IndieGame demos.
Adds 19 to list to try out first hand.
Grumbles.
I like to do it so you don't have to, and hopefully to highlight real stand out titles.
It's exhausting, and most would give up, but here I am, doing what must be done!

*Wheeeeeze*
#SteamNextFest shall be the death of me.
Currenty up to 78 #IndieGames passed, hundreds played, hundreds more skimmed and ignored. Phew... Event hasn't even started.
If you are an #IndieDeveloper and think your game has what it takes to stand out. Let me know.

PRIMAL PLANET — PREHISTORIC METROIDVANIA
YouTube video by Pawkt
A #Metroidvania #IndieGame that hooked me and then lost me was #PrimalPlanet. Fantastic pixel visuals, atmosphere, and story, but the navigation and design choices felt convoluted, which dragged down what should’ve been a well rounded adventure.
I tried my best to attempt a full completion too!

The... #AI slop... It's rotting me away, searching through the vast list of upcoming #IndieGame demos for #SteamNextFest. I'm harming myself for your own benefit.
I do take recommendations!
So ask about what I've found so far, we've got a lot of gems!

THE RPG — AN ELDERS SCROLLS PARODY
YouTube video by Pawkt
Hey! You’re finally awake!
Time to explore a silly #ElderScrolls parody in #TheRPG.
Crafted by a solo developer, this game throws you on a goofy multi-ending adventure, vs a glitchy dragon, and a king who is just a massive rich jerk.
Rough ending, but man was it fun!

Wild. How delusional can you be?
None of this excuses how lazy this #IndieDev is, with their ego and #Blizzard mentality!
Can't learn to program? Might have a few screws loose.
Claiming love and passion for the #Indie craft while showing zero respect for it. Hilarious.

Steel Century Groove on Steam
Steel Century Groove is a rhythm RPG where you pilot mecha in dance battles! Using your own music or the built-in soundtrack, challenge yourself against the deep rhythm combat system, assemble a team ...
I don't normally get this attached.
#SteelCenturyGroove is an insanely fun #Rhythm #IndieGame.
#Pokémon progression mixed with stylish #Mech choreography is a wild combo that works so damn well!
Gah! Go check it out.
I haven't smiled this much in a while, can't wait to review it in depth.

Being a criminal, checking out some new games, got a request to play #Cairn, so I'll reattempt that from the demos state. Got another really weird funky #Mech game called #SteelCenturyGroove, so hopefully all goes well, then we'll tackle more #SteamNextFest titles :p

Been waiting a while on this commission and it was worth it. Such a beautiful piece, and in my favourite colour.
Now I can properly demand head pats! *Gasps*
