What Indie Games Shall We Play?

August 20, 2010 by alex | 4 Comments | Share on Twitter

We’re about to start an all new independent game with the lovely Di… gaaaargh, I’ve just been gagged. What was I saying about being free to blog what I wanted?  Never mind, I’ll reveal all in a few days, probably after we’ve been to the pub for our first project meeting. You think I’m joking…

In preparation, we’re going to have something of an indie games day here on Tuesday. Our Chris does not really know the indie games world so we need to expose him to its wonders.

What games do people recommend he plays?

Suggestions so far (pulled from Twitter):

Eufloria
Braid
Samarost
Darwinia
The Life Of A Pacifist Is Often Fraught With Conflict
Limbo
Shadow Complex (is this really indie?)
Eliss
Fieldrunners
Passage
Snapshot Adventures
Blueberry Garden
Cut It
Under The Garden
Skullpogo
The Path
Don’t Shit Your Pants
ToriBash
World of Goo
Machinarium
Saut
Gesundheit
Mount & Blade
Recettear

    It’s name samOrost (explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samorost). Letter ‘O’ in the middle joins two parts – Sam (himself, alone, by his own) and Rost (growth, raise).
