Another game to fill up your Spooktober Indies list, The Lake Lady is a fairly decent asian horror game that has flown in completely under the radar since September.

Indie Showcase - Bye Sweet Carole

It's like Disney After Dark!

A hand-drawn horror in the style of beloved animated films, not for everyone as there are bouts of puzzle solving without much going on, but it is a story to be experienced at $19.99 til Oct 23rd. #indiegames #horror

Indie Showcase - Lethal Honor

You know I don't normally do two in a day, but I need to make you aware of this 80s adult superhero comic book action roguelite that has actual comic panels in the gameplay itself, a brand new studio and it is awesome I highly recommend. #indiegames

Indie Showcase - Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?!

I'm pretty sure this dev only makes punny potato games based around management sims involving different theme, this was their fun little take on the world of espionage as you recruit and run your own spy agency! #indiegames

A prequel to the first Inspector Waffles game in the style of a GBA game!

Or Everquest who straight up hated the fact you had any personal time to begin with and would aggressively attack and slog it down.

"I miss when Retro games used to respect your time."

Me: Not me playing RE:Outbreak 2 slowly walking into a new scene and having enough time to get up and walk away to make a sandwich, come back and eat said sandwich and still have a minute or two wait afterward.

Indie Showcase - PULSAR: Lost Colony

As close as you're likely going to get to a Star Trek simulator (outside of the MMO) this one is better with friends but can be played completely solo with an AI crew.

The galaxy and its infinite weirdness awaits you! #indiegames #space

I would like to say that every Indie Game I recommend on here, isn't just me perusing the store and sharing things I think look interesting, I actually check out and play every game you'll see listed here.

The only time I haven't 'yet' is when it's coming soon, unless i've played a creator copy!

Indie Showcase - Slasher's Keep

A fantastical and often silly dungeon crawler with procedurally generated dungeons, drag and drop crafting system for your gear, as well as a precise combat system.

I will say the humor is sometimes adult in nature so think Barony 18+ #indiegames

Right now the gameplay loop is more sandbox based, you'll take contracts to kill whatever go and kill that thing and turn it in and fly to different cities so it can get repetitive.

But I really believe in this project and hope they can realize their full dream cause this is an awesome first step.

Indie Showcase - Electro Bop Boxing League

Rock em' Sock em' ro-bits never felt so good, a super charming little auto-battler rhythm game I found, while your robots duke it out you'll play a mini rhythm game to replenish abilities, will you be the electro-bop champ!? #indiegames

Indie Showcase - Lake

To call this a mail delivery simulator would be underselling it, it's a slow and relatable story, the goal here is to breathe not win.

On all platforms, but pop in is especially bad outside of PC so I recommend mostly the PC version. #indiegames #cozygames
