We’re here to lift up indie games that defy expectations and challenge the norm, that are terribly amazing. What is SUGOI? SUGOI 2025 is a digital showcase that aims to explore what happens when games go off the rails. It aims to showcase indie games that take what we know and twist it into something new, exciting or just plain odd. If your game does something like that, it could be a perfect fit for the showcase. Your game must: Be terribly amazing, or just so sugoi it defies logic and expectations. Be available or planned to be released on PC, though we’re open to console availability too. Be either in development with a release window in the next 12 months, or recently launched (within the last 4 months). Bring something new to the table, whether that’s through gameplay, theme, art style, or just sheer weirdness. Additional Requirements To participate, you’ll need to submit a trailer for the showcase, but video content will only be required later for games that receive a confirmation email. Your game shouldn't use any sort of generative AI. Keep it human 🖖 Event Details Submission Deadline: February 20th, 2025 Participation Cofirmation: February 24th, 2025 Event Date: March 27th, 2025 A Steam Event Page is planned for this showcase.

Emilia Perez just won several Golden Globes and the director didn’t even bother mentioning Mexico, drug cartel victims, or anything related to the trans community (other than shouting out Karla Sofia Gascon). This is an awful celebration of cultural appropriation and exploitation.

Hot take: movies, films, books, and especially games can be reviewed at any time.

There will always be one person who hasn’t heard of it, and you can still influence by sharing your POV. The rat race can be difficult, but people discover new things all the time and thus they’ll discover you.

Hi everyone! We’re the team behind Runeomicon, a tower defense where you're a dark summoner casting runes to bring forth the goddess of death... but the villagers won't let you complete the ritual!

Give us a follow 👋 #indiegame

Into the HIVE! has been quite controversial - especially that ending 😱 -, but it's good to see that the general reception has been fantastic!

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.
