Playing around with words today—so, here’s a look at indie.io. Imagine it: a smorgasbord of video games from all over, like, every genre you can think of. They’ve got this monster sale on Nintendo Switch—until July 30, so better hustle.
Genres? Oh, they’ve got everything. Cozy adventures (like, the warm fuzzy kind), tactical RPGs, creature collectors, management sims. Anyway, there’s a sale link somewhere. But here, let me chat about six titles that caught my eye.
Echoes of the Plum Grove
Discount? You bet: 20% off.
You land on this island (after washing up like soggy socks), a patch of land to your name. Quickly—well, if that’s your rhythm—you grow your spot, maybe start a family, maybe start drama with neighbors or, somehow, get involved with a witch coven. Descendants get shaped by your choices over generations, kind of like that stew you forgot on the stove that magically tastes better the next day. Mysteries pepper the island, by the way, in case farming starts getting too cozy. Hand-drawn world, 2D folks in 3D spaces—it’s like art class meets game night.
Dark Deity
Mega discount: 75% off! Whoa!
Strategy RPG straight out of the classic playbook. Build an army, lead battles, classes to promote—it’s like role-playing algebra, but fun. If someone falls in battle, they’re not just down—a wound that hangs around, dropping their stats like a weights in water. Be strategic! There’s a main story, 28 chapters (that’s a book, almost), and if 20 hours isn’t enough, there’s DLC, extra tales woven in.
Coromon
Totally slashed: 50% off.
Think Pokémon but with Coromon. Over 100 creatures to catch and train, all element, trait, skill—it’s like if rock-paper-scissors got a degree. Battles are stamina-based, so don’t run out or you’re toast. Traits give each monster pizzazz; some trigger like a surprise tickle mid-battle. Six biomes, a looming threat, plot twists—hey, who doesn’t love a twist or two?
Cat Cafe Manager
Catnip for savings: 40% off.
Guess what? Manage a cat cafe in this game. Old rundown place in Caterwaul Way (aptly named? Probably), revive it, house stray cats, and bond with humans, too. Decorate it like a Pinterest board; hire folks who’ll jazz things up. Recipes float around; villagers swing by to unwind. And maybe, just maybe, mysteries lurk in the latte foam. Who knows?
9 Years of Shadows
Colorful deal: 35% off.
Metroidvania alert: almost a decade of murkiness—literally. Europa, our hero, fights to bring back color with a sidekick bear named Apino. Elemental armors are the name of the game, restoring hues while tackling that mega-giant Talos. Composers from Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid amping your epic journey with tunes. Like, a concert while you game. Sweet!
Mail Time
Last but not least: 30% off.
Cozy vibes circle back here. Mail Time—it’s like living an illustrated postcard. Cottagecore and snail mail romance collide in a whimsical forest. Courier duties: customize your look, leap from tree to tree, delivering smiles and letters. Stress isn’t invited—no pressure, no timers, just plain ol’ fun. Simplicity is nice, and hey, sometimes you need that in a chaotic world.
So, there it is. A mess of gaming joy. No idea why it’s so charmingly chaotic, but hey, welcome to the world of indie.io deals!
