Okay, so here’s this quirky little look at indie.io. Seriously, this is a place that throws a bunch of video games at you like it’s no big deal. Have you ever seen those random sales pop up? Like, why do they always seem to happen right when you’ve started a new game? Anyway, they’ve got a sale on Nintendo Switch until July 30th. Who keeps track of these things?
Their lineup’s all over the place, which is, I guess, kinda perfect? You’ve got cozy adventures, tactical RPGs, creature collectors — like a buffet of digital adventures. Here, let me ramble about a few of them:
### Echoes of the Plum Grove
20% off, huh? So, you’re just chilling on an island with this tiny plot of land. Fast forward, and you’ve built a legacy that could either be the sweetest thing ever or a total drama fest. You can be that neighbor who bakes cookies or the one who poisons cookies (don’t recommend, though). It’s all done in this artsy hand-drawn world. Pretty rad, right?
### Dark Deity
This one feels like it raided grandma’s attic, finding those classic strategy RPG vibes. It’s 75% off, so maybe they just really want you to have it? Create this killer army and try not to let everyone get maimed. Seriously, characters can get pretty beat up if you’re not careful. The “Suns Out, Swords Out” DLC is also cheaper now, and who doesn’t love a little extra lore?
### Coromon
Monster collecting, anyone? Coromon knocks 50% off and gives you this massive world with over 100 monsters. Each with unique personalities and quirks, because why make it easy? The story walks you through different biomes while tossing plot twists like confetti.
### Cat Cafe Manager
Manage a what now? Oh right, the name doesn’t lie. You get to spruce up a cafe for cats, possibly the coziest job ever. There’s a town called Caterwaul Way (get it?) where you can make tons of furry friends. Plus, there are humans too, if that’s your jam. It’s 40% off, and I might grab it just to see if there are any hidden ancient cat artifacts or something.
### 9 Years of Shadows
35% off. It’s a place where the world’s had no color for ages, which sounds like any Monday morning to me. This Metroidvania lets you run around as Europa, with a floating bear sidekick who somehow fixes the whole color issue? There’s epic music from artists famous for tunes you’ve definitely heard in other games.
### Mail Time
Ah, back to comfy vibes with Mail Time. You’re basically running around in a magical forest playing postman. Customize your character, jump around, and just take it easy. No stress, no rush. It’s 30% off, peeps.
So there you have it, a random dive into the chaos of indie.io’s game sale. You might find something to lose a weekend in — or even a month, if you’re up for it.
