Trying out something new. Doing discussion topics about indie games once in a while. Let's see if there is interest.

Like the title says, have you played recently an indie game that you enjoyed and want to share? It does not have to be a newly released game.

I recently played and enjoyed Carrion, a Metroidvania-style horror game where you play a monster trying to escape an underground lab. For me, it felt like it had a good creepy atmosphere, created by fitting pixel art and the fact there is no dialogue. The game is short and not too difficult, with fun mechanics.

"I am THE Cleric" and I've spent 18 hours in Esoteric Ebb over the last and the previous weekend. Still only about half way through. It is pretty much Disco Elysium in a DnD Campaign, minus the voice acting and the scummy publisher. At only 25€, I recommend it very, very much if you like choice heavy adventures.

Also some more Mewgenics. I unlocked Act 3, but I am kinda tired of it after 60 hours. When I started out, I already feared the combat could be a bit too simple and... flat? I love everything else about it, but I prefer the combat mechanics of Into the Breach, Pit People or Tactical Breach Wizards.

@falseprophet@piefed.social Carrion is great, but it really could use a proper in-game map. I've only played for two hours or so and already felt pretty lost at times. But that is a problem I have with all Metroidvanias, even if there is a map.

Esoteric Ebb look like a game I would enjoy.

Yes I agree about the in-game map on carrion, there were several times where I wish I had a map because I can no idea where I was.
