BREAKING NEWS!!! My REAL soulstone has been located by the daring @bottenbig.bsky.social!

They even decided graciously not to keep it, figuring its great power was too dangerous for anyone to wield, EXACTLY like Harrison Ford at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Yes, of course: it’s Silksong week.

While plenty of games have gotten out of Hornet’s way, there are still a bunch of other indie drops this week worthy of your attention.

Well, this is one for the bucket list: Someone made a 2.5hr video essay on a video game that I published.

I got to play this at MIGS 2024 and holy cow-- Chasing Rats and the Indie Asylum are really striking gold with this one.

Six One Indie @sixoneindie.com · Jul 16

Worship from @chasingratsgames.bsky.social launches into Early Access today and Becca got a chance to preview it, because we at Six One Indie cannot pass up a cult game! Especially one that is seemingly of a mix between Pikmin and Cult of the Lamb.

Read her full preview here:

Worship Early Access Preview - They Love Me! They Really Love Me! — Six One Indie

Worship is a roguelike adventure game where you play as a cultist using loyal followers to help collect offerings for your god.

This is not a story of triumph.

This is a story of defiance, when the world demands you kneel.

Will you submit to your knees? Or fight- against all odds?

#PAXEast2025 led us to discover #Gigasword by Jack Breen of @studiohybrid.bsky.social - a weight mechanic focused puzzle centric metroidvania game. One of the best demo experiences of the show, hands down!
