Most horror games are happy enough when they make you jump. SILENT BREATH takes things a little further: it actually listens for the scream that comes afterwards. The setup is wonderfully cruel. You head into a dark, photorealistic forest looking for missing people, knowing that something out there is waiting to ruin your night. Meanwhile, your microphone can become part of the experience, so panicking too loudly is not exactly the smartest survival strategy. Naturally, that sounds easier than it is. Between...

Fishing games are usually about patience, peaceful lakes and waiting for the perfect bite. How To Fish apparently looked at that formula and decided it needed guns, ridiculous physics and several friends making terrible decisions together. Released on Steam on August 20, How To Fish comes from Dazed Games, a tiny Swedish studio formed by just two programmers, Carl-Vilhelm Johansson and Melvin Olsson. Somehow, their wonderfully silly take on fishing has turned into one of 2026’s biggest indie surprises. Within only...

Brigador Killers is the kind of sequel that clearly did not want to play it safe. Instead of simply giving players more mechs, more guns and more buildings to flatten, Stellar Jockeys and Gausswerks have pushed the original Brigador formula in a much bigger direction. You can still climb into heavy vehicles and turn city streets into rubble, but now you can also get out, fight on foot, scavenge weapons, manage equipment and steal whatever machine looks useful next. It makes...

A game about feeding rubber ducks into a mysterious corporate abyss sounds like the sort of idea someone comes up with at 2 a.m. and forgets by morning. Somehow, Project P.I.T.T. turned that exact concept into one of August’s more unexpected indie success stories. Developed largely by solo developer Froke, the project began around a year before release as a small experiment inspired by incremental games and automation. Instead of watching numbers increase on a menu, the idea was to...

Two weeks later, the game from Mandragora and tinyBuild has quickly become one of the more notable indie success stories of August. From selling 100,000 copies on its first day to surpassing 300,000 copies in just one week, ReStory has not only made a strong commercial impact but has also maintained around 95%...
