For the third time this month, an indiegame has put a massive smile on my face.

Goodnight Universe puts you in the tiny socks of a baby with psychic and telekinetic powers, trying to help the mamma, pappa, and big sis who can’t understand you.

It’s funny, weird, and unexpectedly touching.

I still remember spotting Woodo on socials before it even had a Steam page — and now there’s a demo! (How did I miss that?!)

It's wild seeing it suddenly have a fully narrated story about Foxy and friends. It's like a storybook come to life.

RELEASE DATE: TBA
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

I'll be honest, I've no idea what is happening. I see a planet pop out a volcano like a zit, asteroids mashed together... Let me check out the Steam page real quick.

OH! Build your solar system by hand, crafting planets, atmosphere and even life?!

Say no more.

RELEASE DATE: TBA
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

If anyone can coax a digital soul out of a beautiful board game, it’s Monster Couch. So, Flamecraft feels in very safe claws.

My deck-building fingers are already itching.

Also — DRAGONS!

RELEASE DATE: Coming Soon
AVAILABLE DEMO: ❌

For a cosy showcase, there’s an awful lot of mayhem 👀

Footsy taps into that childhood urge to boot a football around the living room, consequences be damned. Now you can finally do it without shattering that priceless vase or upsetting grandma.

RELEASE DATE: March 2026
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

Peeling a sticker and placing it just right is a tiny ritual — until you spot the wonky edge and take deep breathes.

Little Corners gives you the cosy satisfaction without the air-bubbles… which makes me wonder, are we ready for an imperfect sticker game? 🤔

RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

Guess what? You give a magical chinchilla a bow and arrow and it is still adorable and cute. Never stop little hero.

RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

A totally bonkers magical adventure where you combine spells to chaotic effect? Have I got that right?

I've witnessed a river of lava and turning into a snowball as puzzle solutions in Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times... This could get delightfully messy.

RELEASE DATE: 2026
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

A civilisation on my back would be cause for alarm, so learning to chat with your roaming space-whale home feels wise.

I love city builders that do something different, and Beyond These Stars, built on a bond with a giant cosmic whale, absolutely is different.

RELEASE DATE: 2026
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

It’s not our first glimpse of Over The Hill, but I’ll happily watch its cel-shaded sunsets and muddy off-road trails forever.

From the Art of Rally devs, trading racing stripes for wheels caked in good honest, outdoorsy filth.

RELEASE DATE: 2026
AVAILABLE DEMO: ❌

Picking which items of a loved one’s life to keep or sell isn’t my go-to idea of fun, yet there’s a sharp narrative angle in deciding what memories an object carries.

Colour me curious about A Storied Life: Tabitha.

RELEASE DATE: Coming Soon
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

😂 Dogpile looks delightfully unhinged, stuffed with wonderfully odd dog designs, and a jazz sax adding to the chaos — hope to hear more of that.

I’m not usually a merge-game person, but I am weak for game-breaking combos. Balatro, this is your fault.

RELEASE DATE: Coming Soon
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

The Regreening calls itself a “A Soilpunk Fairytale,” which is frankly perfect.

There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a grey, brittle landscape pop back into colour. I can already see myself losing hours coaxing life into every corner.

RELEASE DATE: Coming Soon
AVAILABLE DEMO: ❌

Short and sweet taste of Cozyrama.

Build dioramas of camp sites and farms, sculpt a cozy island with babbling brooks and the rustle of grass.

I adore the atmos sounds in this video!

RELEASE DATE: December 11th
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

Everdream Village comes sailing in first, complete with giant doggos and plush alpacas.

You rebuild a sun-baked town. Terraforming here, building a home there, and animal caring until it’s cosy enough for villagers to make their return.

RELEASE DATE: December 12th
AVAILABLE DEMO: ✔️

It’s been a while. Articles paused, magazines dormant, life happened. So I’m easing back with weekly first-impressions of the games that hook me, and maybe coming back later with full reviews for the ones I love.

Let’s see what wonderful IndieGames we discover!
