Indie games by genre

Indie roguelites

Run-based indie games where every attempt makes you stronger — from survivors-likes with automatic weapons to twin-stick shooters.

Indie horror games

Small studios make the strangest horror: slow-burn night shifts, analog dread, short games you finish in one sitting and remember for weeks.

Cozy indie games and sims

Low-pressure indie games: desktop companions, job simulators, idle builders and quiet puzzles to play with a cup of tea.

Roguelike deckbuilders

Build a deck, break the run, start again: card-driven roguelikes in the line of Slay the Spire and Balatro.

Indie metroidvanias

Hand-crafted maps that open up as you gain new abilities — the genre indie studios have made their own.

Indie co-op games

Indie games to play online with friends: co-op horror, roguelites, survival and party chaos.

Indie puzzle games

Clever indie puzzle games, from relaxing logic boards to mind-benders that rewrite their own rules.

Short indie games

Great indie games you can finish in an evening or a weekend — no 100-hour commitment required.

Indie survival games

Gather, build and outlast: indie survival games, from cozy crafting to merciless wilderness.
