I investigate weird indie games, uncover hidden gems, and burn money on suspicious-looking Steam releases so you don’t have to.
Here you’ll find:
• YouTube videos where I squeeze the Steam refund timer into shorter clips
• Occasional streams
• A Weird Indie of the Day highlight
• Jokes, puns, pets, thoughts, and general positivity
• Oh, and apparently giveaways now too
Come hang out. We’re making deeply responsible purchasing decisions around here.

We started with ONE FIRE in A Dark Cave.
Next thing I knew, we were building a village, surviving a blizzard, and making some questionable decisions.
What a fun little incremental game from @thewaveswatcher ! Our edited First Look Replay is up.

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #109:
INANIMA
By @ObscureTales
Pixel art survival horror where a ten day food trial goes horribly wrong. Scavenge supplies, solve puzzles, and fight your way through an isolated research facility full of monsters.
• Explore a creepy facility and uncover the secrets of the "Lazarus" project (Oooohhhh)
• Search for scarce supplies while solving environmental puzzles
• Target vital areas for extra damage or shoot limbs to slow enemies
• Upgrade your weapons and equipment with scavenged resources
• Watch your light and noise around creatures that react to both
Apparently the protein is locally sourced.
Free demo out now on Steam!

Trying out Die Severed, maybe you would call this a Yahtzee-like? Need to build combos with dice and get multipliers to pay off debt or lose your fingies.
Bonus question why do all the games I play like to remind me of my crippling debt?

ZOMBILLIONAIRE
By nDavid
An incremental FPS where zombies are full of oil. Mow them down, cash in, and turn the apocalypse into a profitable oil business.
• Fight enormous zombie swarms in first person combat
• Sell their loot to fund your growing arsenal
• Unlock more weapons and ammo through a massive upgrade tree
• Fortify your base with turrets, mortars, and flamethrowers
There's a political joke here somewhere I refuse to make.

As someone who generally fears a sense of foreboding when I log into my credit card statement maybe I should give the Debtician a try ...

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #107:
CARDOPOLIS
By PULSERIDER
A card based city builder where you play buildings, pass laws, and attempt to hit population targets. Your investors are impatient and the last mayor has mysteriously disappeared. He probably had a crappy starting hand.
• Plan your city using up to 150 building cards
• Change its laws with up to 50 legislation cards
• Try five themed building decks with different mechanics
• Reach each sector’s population target before the deadline
• Keep growing your metropolis in endless mode
This seems like the perfect little bite sized card game to get me through a few gaming sessions.
Free demo on Steam. Full release planned for TOMORROW.

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #106:
ONE MORE FLIGHT
By @nyrointeractive
A pixel Art horror mystery aboard a flight destined to crash in a deadly time loop. Learn from each death and change events around the cabin to change your fate.
• Study passenger routines and intervene before disaster strikes
• Keep journal clues between loops while your items reset
• Prevent one catastrophe and accidentally set off another
• Search hidden cargo and confront supernatural threats lurking onboard
• Experiment with different choices to uncover multiple endings
The airline apologizes for the repeated deaths but cannot offer a refund.
Free demo on Steam. Full release date TBA.

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #105:
DUNGEONBOUND
By @louiidev
A retro first person dungeon crawler / auto-battler combo. You must arrange your gear into deadly combos, fuse & upgrade weapons and manage inventory Tetris to go further and further each run.

• Merge duplicate gear or fuse different items into hybrids with both sets of abilities
• Keep your loot and permanent upgrades after death in the incremental campaign
• Battle other players in an asynch roguelike mode

TIME TO BE THE ORC!
We jumped into the FULL version of ORCTHAL by @redkardevs during Steam Next Fest! Hordes of enemies, ridiculous abilities, loot, and an orc that just keeps getting stronger.

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #104:
THE DEBTICIAN
By Shroombot
A credit card focussed deckbuilder where going deeper into debt is the goal. Combine cards, buy more and more questionable stuff and keep the law off your back.
• Collect credit cards with different effects and combo potential
• Merge cards to discover new combinations
• Buy items that can increase or reduce your debt
• Meet strange clients who help you stay ahead of the law
My Steam sale spending counts as a strategy? My mom would have been excellent at this game.
