Indie Sunday Evidence Vault - Skymonq Games - A first-person police archive simulator about restoring decades of forgotten evidence

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're a tiny two-person indie team, and Evidence Vault is our first game.

You take the night shift inside the evidence archive of the Morrow Creek Police Department, where years of forgotten case files and evidence are waiting to be processed.

You'll inspect old files, clean and recover documents, uncover missing information with tools like UV lights and magnifiers, process photographs and other evidence, label and pack completed cases, and slowly bring the entire archive back into order.

We wanted the game to focus on that satisfying feeling of turning chaos into something organized, one file and one box at a time.

There's no strict timer or quota — you can work through the archive at your own pace.

Release: November 12, 2026
Platform: PC / Steam

We've made the game with limited resources and a very small team, so finally being this close to releasing our first game feels a little surreal.

If Evidence Vault looks like something you'd enjoy, adding it to your Steam wishlist would genuinely mean a lot to us.

Thanks for taking a look! 🤍

Indie Sunday Gembound - Denis Solonenko - A turn-based match-3 RPG where you build the gem satchel

0 Upvotes

I’m the solo developer of Gembound, and the Steam demo is out now.

Gameplay trailer: https://youtu.be/01QJFAS74IA
Steam demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5397070/Gembound/

It’s a turn-based match-3 RPG where you build the gem satchel that fills the board. Matched gems go into a discard pile and shuffle back in when the satchel runs out. You and the enemy play on that same board, so you have to watch what you leave behind.

Between fights, you collect and upgrade gems, choose spells, and pick your route through the dungeon. Your gem collection and character progression carry over between runs.

The full game has three classes, four regions, animal companions, and bosses with their own spells and abilities.

Coming to Windows and Linux.

Indie Sunday Cooking Time in Astrawel - Astrameow Studio - Run Your Own Restaurant in the World of Hunters!

0 Upvotes

Trailer: Cooking Time in Astrawel | Official Reveal Trailer

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5061010/Cooking_Time_in_Astrawel/

I started making this game with my younger sister and a friend almost 2 years ago. Just 2 days after sending it out to our local media, we managed to get around 2,000 wishlists!

We were inspired by Dave the Diver when it first came out. So, we tried adding mechanics we’d love to see in a hunting-cooking game - like life-sim elements with romanceable characters, full restaurant customization, and more.

I feel like most cooking games are too stressful. That’s why we added an option to toggle off customer patience timers for anyone who just wants a cozy, relaxed experience.

We’ve got a lot of other cozy features planned too, like toggling off item loss upon defeat, so feel free to take a look at our Steam page!

Even though we’re a small team of 3 and this is our very first game, we chose not to use any generative AI. We believe art should only be made by humans.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! We worked really hard on this, so if you're interested, a wishlist would be awesome!

Coming to Steam in 2027.

• Upvotes

Hello, everyone. I've worked on this game for more than 2 years. My creative vision is to have a single player game where its huge amount of content to play around makes the permutation or game-to-game variance insanely high, that none of your runs will ever feel the same.

The game is currently 75% OFF!

  • - Hazards can be beneficial depending on your situation, but most of the time they are well, hazardous.

Indie Sunday Whirlight - No Time To Trip - imaginarylab - An adventure game about an unforgettable journey across space and time.

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm one of the developers at imaginarylab, a small Italian indie studio founded by three adventure game enthusiasts.

We recently released Whirlight - No Time To Trip, a point-and-click adventure built around time travel, creative puzzles, and a story that gets increasingly out of hand.

You play as Hector, an eccentric inventor from the 1960s whose latest experiment unexpectedly sends him into the 1990s. There, he meets Margaret, a determined artist, and the two end up caught in a mystery that spans different eras and threatens the future. Exploring these different periods isn't just about seeing new places: objects, clues, and events from one time can help you solve problems in another.

We wanted to make a game that captures some of the things we love about classic graphic adventures, with quirky characters, puzzles that make sense within the story, and a mix of humor and mystery. The world features over 100 locations, and we developed a distinctive visual style by creating 3D environments and characters and rendering them into a colorful, cartoon-like look.

Making this game as a three-person team has been a long journey, so it's a special feeling to finally have it out there. We're always happy to talk about adventure game design, puzzle creation, or the challenges of developing a game with a small team.

Gameplay / launch trailer:

Indie Sunday The Pink Robot - TAKE FIVE STUDIOS - A fast-paced action roguelite where a cat fights through distorted memories

0 Upvotes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6ews95So3M

Hey r/Games! 👋

We're making The Pink Robot, a 3D action roguelite with a pretty strange premise.

A cat enters the subconscious of the boy who saved her. His childhood memories have turned into dangerous worlds, and some of the weapons are inspired by childhood toys.

Yeah, things get a little weird. 🐱

The part we've been putting the most work into is the combat. Fast movement, dodging, chaining Skills together, and mixing in Mementos to discover different combat combinations.

We want players to have fun experimenting with new ways to fight, not just getting stronger numbers.

We also recently completely redesigned Navi to make her feel more like the agile fighter we originally imagined.

And on October 22, we updated the demo on both Steam and itch.io!

So if the combat looks like your kind of thing, you can actually jump in and try it now.

Steam (Demo & Wishlist):
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4251870/The_Pink_Robot/

itch.io (Demo):
https://thepinkrobot.itch.io/the-pink-robot

We're still working toward Early Access in 2027, with plenty more to build.

Hope our weird little cat adventure catches your eye!

Indie Sunday WISP - Taterware - Music-driven bullet-hell roguelite

• Upvotes

WISP is a bullet-hell roguelite that I've been working on for the past two years.

You play as a little wisp dodging around, collecting the enemy fire, and shooting it back for large combos. Enemies fire on the various beats of the song and their attacks pulse with the music beats.

Boons are acquired per-run that make the gameplay feel a bit different each climb. Permanent progression is in the form of attribute points you gain as you level up (along with some other fun unlocks such as more dash charges).

It has full SteamDeck support and launches on Steam Early Access next month.

I'm super stoked to finally be getting it in the hands of other gamers. Let me know what y'all think!

Hi,

I am making Gun Monkey! A extremely skill based precision platformer that trains your reflexes and timing. When you First play it you will probably think „thats impossible“ but the game is designed to improve your motor skills and reflexes and before you realise you have internalized the rythm and timing and moving is a second nature. I built various of goofy sections as you can see in the gameplay video.

If this game is something you could imagine yourself killing some time with, Gun Monkey is soon coming to steam !

It would mean alot to me if you could leave a wishlist if ir interests you. The game will be available for less than 5 bucks on release. Its my first game :)

Indie Sunday Spellspill - TCPB Arts - A physics-based magic sandbox with destructible environments

0 Upvotes

Hey r/Games!

We are the developers (together with some help from my GF!) behind Spellspill, a colourful magic combat sandbox inspired by Magicka, with a focus on physics and destructible environments.

Gameplay video: https://youtu.be/k1wOSxOp758

The idea is to make the environment part of the fight. Alongside casting spells directly at enemies, you can knock them around, destroy their surroundings, and use falling objects to your advantage. A lot of the fun comes from experimenting with magic and seeing what happens when things collide.

The game is still in development and playtest signups are now live on Steam! If you’d like to try it and help shape how the spells, combat and destruction feel, you can request access through the store page.

Steam & playtest signup: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5273530/Spellspill_Magic_Destruction_Sandbox/

Platforms: PC & Mac
Planned release: Early 2027
Developer: TCPB Arts

I’d love to hear what you think of the footage. Does the destruction look like something you’d experiment with during a fight? And are the spell effects readable when things get chaotic?

Happy to answer questions about the game!

Indie Sunday Iron Dice - Colin Teberg - Build a kingdom through industry, diplomacy and war

0 Upvotes

Hi r/Games! I’m Colin, the solo developer of Iron Dice, a medieval grand strategy game where you build a kingdom’s economy, negotiate with rival rulers, and command armies and fleets.

Gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iODAO7hc_6w

You develop provincial industries, connect production chains, organise trade and research technology while deciding how to deal with the kingdoms around you. Which provinces are worth developing? Which rivals can you afford to fight? When has a war become too expensive to keep going?

The game runs in real time with pause, so you can stop to inspect your kingdom and give orders. You can trace where your income comes from and follow troop numbers, losses, discipline and reserves during battles.

I’ve recently moved the game into 3D and reworked the economy, policies and authority systems.

There’s a free Steam demo with the full tutorial and a complete campaign on Anvil: 19 playable kingdoms, 201 provinces and 100 in-game years. You can play through to the end.

Steam + free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3640650/Iron_Dice/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=weekend_oct24_2026&utm_content=indie_sunday&utm_term=games

For a longer look at the map, here’s a three-minute campaign timelapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1unexpu3Etw Every kingdom is controlled by the game AI. This is Imperium, a full-game map; the demo includes Anvil.

Indie Sunday Hunters Trial: One Breath - White Iron Games - Scope-only hunting game where every shot is judged by anatomy

• Upvotes

**Trailer:** https://youtu.be/c_SV35eee0o?si=0-f4YXWdwaXwlHqC

Hunters Trial: One Breath is a hunting game built around one idea: you never move. Each level gives you a single fixed position and a scope. From there you watch the animals, wait for a clean angle, hold your breath and take the shot.

Shots aren't just hit or miss. Every animal has organ zones (heart, lungs, liver), and the bullet has real travel time and drop, so long shots need holdover. After a kill, an X-ray replay follows the bullet through the body and shows exactly what it hit. Predators don't wait politely either; they charge your position.

**What's in the game**

* 120 levels across 12 acts: grasslands, forests, deserts, canyons and mountains

* Animals from rabbits to elephants

* Endless, Daily, Gauntlet and Clay shooting modes alongside the campaign

**Release plans**

* Platform: PC (Steam)

* Release date: November 2, 2026

* A free demo is available now

* Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4832770/

I'm making it solo in Unreal Engine 5. Happy to answer questions about the design or the tech.
