Don't Ask:
"Why won't site x cover this indie game?"

Ask:
"How can I better support indie games media?"

For indie games to succeed, those covering them need to succeed as well.

Here are some you can start following. Tell me your favs or who I miss.

Playing the LOVE ETERNAL demo instead of sleeping! Horror precision platformer with a female protagonist are all of my favorite words put together 😩

I featured 5 wonderfully weird demos participating in the Next Fest in today’s blog post.
Too bad the headless chicken game ended up dropping out from the event and I had to remove it from the list 🐓

Hey @valvesoftware.com, you know what would be really rad? If we could filter out games that used AI in pre or post production while we browse through Next Fest demos.

Might also give you some interesting data on how people feel about AI games. Could be fun, could be cool

I played CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs by @bastinusrex.bsky.social last night and OH MY GOD GUYS everyone needs to go play this game!!

It's creepy, unsettling & atmospheric in a way that's perfect for the season, takes <60 min to play, and the ending took me completely by surprise 👀

Screenshot from the game CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs. An old woman with deep wrinkles looks directly into the camera, tears streaming down her face. "Everything's a mess without you" she says.

🛻 Still thinking about the Truckful demo! It’s kind of like Jenga but also like Dredge.. and the driving mechanic is just challenging enough!

And on the 19th day… she made it to Room 46 🚪

Shoutout to the Foyer for being my last draft pick and creating the most epic approach possible

Screenshot from the game Blue Prince, of a stately hall, lined with regal busts on each side and two stone statues of hands pointing towards the open doorway at the end of the hall. Beyond the doorway is another door marked 46

Screenshot from the game Blue Prince. It’s a close up shot of a young man’s hand, reaching for the handle of a closed door

"It gives context to the fictional Jenny’s struggles and shows that the antidote to a highly regimented life slowly falling into shambles doesn’t involve more organization or tidiness."

Read @aspecificegg.bsky.social's full review of Consume Me: nosmallgames.com/2025/10/cons...

Promotional graphic announcing a new article on the No Small Games website, with the title "Consume Me Review." The graphic shows a laptop with a screenshot of the review on the No Small Games website, with key art from the game, showing an illustrated teenage girl with a bob haircut, in various poses including eating an egg, doing exercises and posing in the mirror.
