We check in with the indie games we've been playing in May!

Rachel chatted with fellow Thinky Games colleague and puzzle bestie Joseph Mansfield about puzzle design, the puzzle community, and their favourite thinky games!

We simulated a battle royale but with indie game characters. Sorry in advance.

We finally put 2024 to bed with a chat about the BAFTA Games Awards and some final recommendations from the year that was.

The gang give their verdict on Blue Prince, a puzzle roguelite that has established itself as this year's indie darling.

The gang crack open the Indieventure Vault once again to induct three new games from the first half of the decade into the prestigious/cursed container.

Is "cosy" a genre? A theme? A vibe? Are all cosy games broadly the same, or is it just a blanket term that can refer to any game without a central combat mechanic? Is "cosy" even still a valid classification now that we've moved so far past all major new titles being, essentially, Doom with a different paint job?

Liam recently sat down with Davey Wreden (The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide) and Karla Zimonja (Gone Home) to chat about Wanderstop, their recently released game about a burned-out warrior attempting to find solace by running a tea shop in the woods.

If you've ever wondered which indie game character would react best to their beloved partner waking up one morning to discover they were just a tiny little mealworm lying on the pillow, amazingly it turns out you're not alone.

Liam sits down with Rachel Noy, Oli Clarke Smith & Phil Crabtree from Kaizen Game Works to chat about the development of Promise Mascot Agency and to reflect on Paradise Killer five years after its release.
