TOO MANY GREAT GAMES RELEASED IN MAY. Don’t get us wrong, we love being bombarded with cool indies but, MY GOD, May has been wild. In this episode, the Indieventure gang sit down to chat about this phenomenon and get into which games they played out of the torrent of releases.
Liam’s been exploring a creepy abandoned theme park filled with monstrous weirdos in the survival horror game Crow Country and brushing up on his spelling in the fill-in-the-blank dungeon-crawler Cryptmaster. Rebecca flirted with cute monsters (classic Rebecca antics) in horror dating sim Sucker for Love: Date to Die For, while also enjoying the fun animal hijinks of wholesome exploration game Little Kitty, Big City. Rachel went spelunking in a subterranean labyrinth filled with strange creatures in Animal Well and had her brain fried by the intense puzzle powerhouse that is Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. She also checked out 1000xResist and cried over alien invaders, sad clones, and mommy issues. The gang finishes up this bumper crop of indie picks with a discussion about Hades 2 which released into Steam Early Access this month.
To wrap up the episode it’s hyperfixations! Rebecca binged season 5 of Fargo which has taken a refreshing new direction from its other seasons, Liam took a nostalgia trip watching Jackass Forever, and no hyperfixation from Rachel this episode as she’s been resting.

I also played some of the May indies! I got Little Kitty Big City and beat it in a few days but had a super fun time. I played some of Crow Country, super engrossing. The other one I got that you guys didn’t mention was Isles of Sea and Sky. It’s an open world block pushing puzzle game. Super fun but man do some of the puzzles hurt my brain. Thanks for another great episode!
I hadn’t heard of Isles of Sea and Sky but I love how it looks like a GBA Zelda game? Will have to check that out, even though I know i’ll be terrible at it.
The demo is pretty robust!
P.S. and is perfect for Steam Deck
I know its not technically released in May, but I’ve been utterly obsessed with Klei’s new game Rotwood which released late April. Its been my game through may and arguably my Hyperfixation too!
I keep meaning to check this out! It feels very much like it’s slipped under the radar. Is it co-op only?
