Update #3 [Thu 22nd Dec, 2022 17:30 GMT]: Just like the clock hands, Nintendo went back to scrapping some of the goodness of independence under the tree on day four of Inside the House of Indies.
Again, today’s video (above) shows four new titles, this time spanning rhythmic dreams, fantasy roguelikes, puppets, and cyberpunk volleyball. Here’s what was announced this time:
- melatonin (out now) – A rhythm game about dreams, Melatonin will see you navigate surreal music-based puzzles with cozy ambient vibes. Follow the beat and complete tasks from hitting an alarm clock to operating a picker.
- afterimage (out April 25, 2023) – A fantasy-based roguelike game where you’ll explore mystical environments as a glowing protagonist, slashing enemies as you go.
- Smile for me (end of Spring 2023) – In this “nod and shake adventure” you’ll navigate a scary-looking world, performing its obscure quests. Paper Mario-like residents. This looks surreal and spooky to an equal extent, so get ready to take an eerie ride with this.
- Super Gunsport (launched) – Billed as “Electronic Volleyball with Guns,” this arcade-style game will see you engage in futuristic volleyball while wielding an arsenal of explosive weapons.
We’re getting ready for the final day of events tomorrow and are excited to see what the ultimate indie team will bring!
Update #2 [Wed 21st Dec, 2022 17:05 GMT]: Ho ho ho, we’re back again with Nintendo’s third day at House of Indies, where Big N is spreading the holiday cheer by sharing some brand new indie game news and news about darkness.
Today, we’re getting cozy with potions, pandas, toys, and an adorable little sail. Two drops of darkness and two spring releases are behind today’s calendar, so let’s take a quick look:
- Potion Craft: Alchemy Simulator (end of Spring 2023) – This is exactly what it sounds like, except a little older school. Potion Craft is an alchemy alchemy where you run a shop and craft potions for townspeople. Coming to Switch early next year.
- sound (out now) – A musical puzzle game where you will explore musical ruins with your racoon friend. Launching today on Switch eShop.
- tin heart (out April 20, 2023) – Rogue Sun’s creative Lemmings-style puzzle, beautifully animated and from the many people who brought us Fables. Guide the toy around different locations and stay safe! The game finally had an April release date.
- Sailing (out now) – This adorable sailing simulator hits the eShop today — think Wind Waker but without all the Zelda-ing and you’ve pretty much got it there! We’ve got more details about the game right here.
What will Wednesday bring? Make sure you have a cup of hot cocoa with you for tomorrow’s independence party!
