Some familiar indie games here 👀

Sometimes I wonder how much I should lean into these facts when promoting my game project:
• Self-Publishing Indie
• Self-Funded Indie (Read: No Budget)
• Meticulously handcrafted (Anti Gen-AI) and affordable ($7)

Probably at least a bit more. 🙂‍↕️

Also yes, this is partially a TGA subpost. 🫢

Camille and Laura Review – Mother And Child Union I feel weird reviewing Camille and Laura because I primarily review video games. And while Camille and Laura is a game on Steam and has Point & Click elements, it’s really more of an experience. And…

Those looking for experimental games made with minimal budgets and offering deep human stories and experiences, Camille and Laura is the game for you. - @nickmanwrites.bsky.social

Save 10% on Camille and Laura on Steam Camille and Laura is a point and click about the greatest adventure of all - parenting.

Hi, my game just released. It's about the life of a single mother, as seen through the eyes of her child.

If you like small passion projects, it would mean a lot to me for you to check it out, share it and review it.

Introducing our Mentors!

Time Bandit is one of my favourite games of all time and you should play it.

At GAMERella, our goal is to continue to build on the work that is being done in the gaming industry so that everyone who has a passion for games has the opportunity to play, build and be a part of the communities that video games foster.

The game is not over until we all get to play.
