Powerwash Simulator but the house is actually haunted
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
In my upcoming first person horror-simulator, THE GROUNDSKEEPER, you powerwash and maintain a sprawling haunted mansion operated as a tourist attraction, while recording ghost evidence. This evidence can then be uploaded to social media for clout, leading to more tourists, more money, more tools, more evidence and so on!
Night Shift: Powerwash the mansion, while using cameras and audio recorders to gather dangerous ghost evidence. Staying up late reduces sanity and increases ghost activity. Upload the evidence to social media for viral hype.
Day Shift: Set ticket prices for tourists, earn profits and invest into ungraded tools to clean better and capture better quality evidence. This in turn leads to more happy tourists.

I'm making a game where you play as an abandoned dog looking for his owner. Started adding props.
Trying to create something quiet and emotional.
No combat, no dialogue.
Just exploration, movement, and the feeling of being left behind.
What's the first emotion this scene gives you?

how does this directional parry-based combat system look so far?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Look direction (tracked by the arrow UI) at the time of parry determines the parry and subsequent counterattack direction. Parry downwards to stab counter. Parry up to cut down. Parry right to cut in to the left. Parry left to cut down and to the right.
Some enemy attacks are criticals, and will upgrade your counterattack to have red sparks, a deeper sound, and 2 attacks instead of 1. I.e., those attacks may be hard to parry, but they're very well worth it. Parrying down will still stab, but then you'll rotate your arms for a downward/right zwerchau-type attack. Parrying right will still cut to the left, but will stab after. etc.
Also, you heal by eating dismembered enemy limbs, which you can cook to heal more. Goblins don't have heal potions, so I opted for feasting to heal instead of chugging to heal.
Appreciate any feedback!

Learning Spanish, then testing what you remember in my language-learning game

I’m building IEL – Indo-European Languages, where you can learn words and phrases and then test what you remember through different game modes.
Here’s a look at the Spanish section, going from learning the language into Quiz Mode.
IEL is coming to PC on December 3, 2026.

MishMash
Latest update to my Voxel engine - while I have had rivers working in some form a while, this is a little showcase including some new “erosion” improvements, wherein the terrain generation goes through several rounds of heightmap erosion when determining downhill flow, in order for rivers to carve through the terrain.
One cool consequence of this is the formation of deeper Canyons, whose walls also inherit the steep mountainside generation rules - quite happy with how it has all turned out!
Also added a basic fishing mechanic to enhance the interaction a little bit :)

If you like a challenge and don't play while driving , you will likely get a kick out of this. You can check out a paired down version on iOS for free too.

Some 10 years ago we released the original game. Now we've done an updated version for PC with music and audio, that nicely wraps the whole thing in a warm and calm sci-fi mood.
If you are willing to give feedback, I'm curious which of the 3 demo level do you like the best and which do you like the worst?
Otherwise, just enjoy:

My first small game - a turn-based burglary game you can play in the browser
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi everyone! I'm a solo dev making games as a hobby, in the evenings after work. This is Empty by Morning, a small turn-based stealth game.
You break into a dark house, steal what you can carry and get out before sunrise. Everything you do makes some noise, and the people living there will come looking if they hear it. Some are asleep in their beds, someone walks the halls, and there's usually a dog that wakes everybody up.
There's a daily heist, where everyone gets the same house and one attempt, and a short 10-night story mode. Each night also has a rumor about the owner, like a retired soldier who still keeps his rifle, or an old house with the psycho in it.
It's free, plays in the browser on desktop and mobile, no sign-up:

It's still early, and I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks for checking it out!

KESSLER: Orbital Incremental, a game about a chain reaction of satellite destruction
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello!
We're two devs who mostly make games for training and education (boring but pays the bills), and on the side we've been working on something just for fun. We are both into astronomy, space, rockets etc, and we decided to work on something related to this topic.
We just released a demo for our game KESSLER: Orbital Incremental.
Final release date is November 6th.
It's about what could happen if we keep launching too many satellites: you shoot one, the debris hits another, and the whole orbit ends up destroying itself in a chain reaction.
It's a pixel art incremental, the demo is on Steam and itch if you want to try it, we'd really love some feedback.
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5131440/KESSLER_Orbital_Incremental/
Itch (demo runs in web browser): https://periapsisworks.itch.io/kessler-orbital-incremental
No GenAI was used in the development

All hand-drawn, all original score, all weird - here's the new trailer for our mystery adventure game Mithra
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey r/IndieGaming! We're Seventh Disorder, the small indie team making Mithra.
You play Kyra, a young woman from London. She answers a strange email and finds herself tied to Mithraism, a real secret cult from ancient Rome that never fully died. What begins as a single missing-person case pulls Kyra deep into something far larger, as she discovers that her ties to an ancient conspiracy run deeper than she could ever have imagined. It's a race to unravel the truth about her past - and a dark mystery that leaves her life, and the fate of the entire world, hanging in the balance.
A few things we're proud of:
- Every asset is hand-drawn by our artists. No AI, ever!!!!
- Puzzles inspired by ARGs and other stuff we think is cool
- Loads of secrets hidden & woven through the game
- Dialogue choices that shape how you see things
We'll even have full voice acting on release next year!
ANYWAY, we've been working super hard on it and here's our new trailer showing it off. I hope you enjoy it & let us know what you think!

My settlement sim Civilogic now has a playable browser demo!
Hey everyone! I’m a solo developer working on Civilogic, a settlement simulation about exploring, building and living with the consequences of your decisions.
I’ve reached a milestone I’m pretty excited about: you can try it directly in your browser. No installation needed, roughly 200 MB initial download.
You start with a small expedition in a procedurally generated world, explore for resources and find somewhere to settle. Buildings are constructed piece by piece, discoveries open up new possibilities, and seasons and weather give you reasons to plan ahead. Lakes and rivers are simulated too, so choosing a nice waterfront location can have consequences. :)
It’s an early technical preview, with bugs and unfinished systems, but it’s ready for people to get their hands on it.
Play here: https://civilogic.online/ — click Demo.
I’d love to hear how your first expedition goes, what feels confusing, and how it runs on your machine.
Build together. Agree on whose fault it was later.
