So, as we all know, there are new video games being developed all the time, every day. This doesn\u2019t just apply to the AAA industry; it also very much affects the indie scene. There are tons and tons of new and exciting indie games being shown off, and honestly, it\u2019s probably impossible to keep track of every single one, so I\u2019m not even going to try. Instead, what I\u2019m hoping to do is pick out some surprisingly promising titles that made me question why I hadn\u2019t heard about them before. You know, in a \u201choly wow, something like this is getting made?!\u201d kind of way.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gtogg.com\/att\/Collections\/Indie_games\/2026\/April\/1\/Project_Shadowglass.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nProject Shadowglass<\/a><\/h3>\nThe original Thief was one of my big childhood games growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, so you can probably imagine why I\u2019m excited for this one. Project Shadowglass does indeed introduce itself as being a \u201clove letter\u201d to classic immersive sims like Thief, Deus Ex and System Shock \u2013 games that place an emphasis on player freedom and open-ended levels that reward creativity and encourage alternate solutions. If you need a somewhat more modern example of this type of game, it\u2019s basically Dishonored. But I digress. Project Shadowglass seems to offer exactly what I want from a solid immersive sim, but if I\u2019m being perfectly honest, I\u2019m just excited for another game where I can be a medieval thief who puts out torches with water arrows, blackjacks unsuspecting guards and sneaks into creepy castles to steal loot. I\u2019m a simple man, that\u2019s all I need, and the last Thief we got was a VR game, so you can imagine how starved I am. \u00a0 Anyway, that\u2019s why Project Shadowglass is very much on my radar. Dear developers, please don\u2019t screw it up.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSilver Pines<\/a><\/h3>\nOkay, so Silver Pines is\u2026 a survival horror metrodvania, and those are definitely three words I like seeing next to each other. No, but seriously, just watch a few clips from this game and you\u2019ll see what I mean. It almost reminds me of a 2D Alan Wake with a splash of Twin Peaks and Silent Hill, and that\u2019s a pretty killer combo. Two things really stood out to me here: 1, the smooth combat animations and 2. the art style, which sort of reminds me of comic book with a dark, detective noir feel. I also expect this to be more than just a simple survival horror game, in fact, I have high hopes for the narrative in particular, so I really hope it delivers on that front as well. I\u2019m expecting some juicy twists and turns. I guess we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHABROMANIA<\/a><\/h3>\nThe American McGee\u2019s Alice comparisons would be easy to make here, so let\u2019s skip over that. Instead, let\u2019s read the definition of the game\u2019s very own namesake, the condition known as \u201chabromania\u201d. It\u2019s \u201ca form of insanity characterized by delusions of a cheerful or joyous nature.\u201d On the surface, HABROMANIA (the game, that is) seems to be a fairly straightforward point & click adventure game that nonetheless builds certain expectations \u2013 inspired by Alice in Wonderland, it looks quirky, cute and even a bit goofy, but deep down, it appears to harbor a terrible secret. I mean, the game doesn\u2019t really try to hide the fact that its protagonist probably did something terrible in the past and is likely blocking it out of her mind through Wonderland-inspired delusions, but that doesn\u2019t make the whole thing any less intriguing.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gtogg.com\/att\/Collections\/Indie_games\/2026\/April\/1\/Am_I_Nima.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAm I Nima<\/a><\/h3>\nAm I Nima is a psychological horror game with a setup that took about five seconds to get my attention. The protagonist is a young girl called Nima who lost her memories and remembers nothing about her past or who she even is. But here\u2019s the thing: her mother has locked her in the basement because she\u2019s not entirely sure her daughter is actually who she claims to be. So, your job in the game is try and act like Nima in order convince your mother that you\u2019re really, well\u2026 you. In terms of gameplay, you\u2019re basically collecting words (or rather, thoughts and ideas) inside your brain, and then combine them in order to form new connections and gain new words to be used in dialogue scenes. Naturally, the word combinations you discover also provide disturbing clues regarding Nima\u2019s past and the nature of her condition, but it\u2019s really the inherent ambiguity of the premise that made me want to dig deeper: is Nima really just an amnesiac and the victim of some past trauma\u2026 or is this a game about a body snatching alien pretending to be a young girl? Who knows? And that\u2019s what\u2019s so cool about it.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gtogg.com\/att\/Collections\/Indie_games\/2026\/April\/1\/The_Bagman.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Bagman<\/a><\/h3>\nThis one\u2019s a retro-style, stealth-based horror adventure game very clearly inspired by the classic Clock Tower series \u2013 it uses the tried-and-true formula of having to play hide and seek with a persistent stalker that\u2019s always roaming the area, so imagine something like Alien: Isolation or the RE2 remake\u2019s Tyrant, except\u2026 in 2D, with some really gorgeous pixel art. What also makes the game particularly interesting is the way it lets you give commands to your NPC partners. Let\u2019s say I\u2019m hiding inside a closet while the monster is roaming outside \u2013 when this happens, I can use my radio to let my partner know and ask him to provide a little distraction so I could actually come out of hiding and continue exploring or solving puzzles. And trust me, trying to escape from a monster that\u2019s always looking for you is still pretty intense in 2D. As I said, the pixel art is also incredible, with some pretty grotesque details, so if you\u2019re a fan of body horror and classic slasher films, you\u2019ll probably want to check this one out.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gtogg.com\/att\/Collections\/Indie_games\/2026\/April\/1\/The_Many_Sins_of_House_Ocampo.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Many Sins of House Ocampo<\/a><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019ve played the free horror adventure game If On A Winter’s Night, Four Travelers, and wanted more from the same developer, well\u2026 your wishes have been granted, because The Many Sins of House Ocampo is exactly that: a new project from that same team. It\u2019s still going to be an adventure game with some incredible pixel art, but this time, we\u2019re following the investigations of a woman trying to uncover some of the most horrifying secrets of her own family, reliving the final moments of each family member to uncover what ultimately happened to them. Winter Night was already an amazingly chilling and memorable point and click experience, so I have no doubts that we\u2019ll be getting something special with this new game, too.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gtogg.com\/att\/Collections\/Indie_games\/2026\/April\/1\/Silent_Planet_Elegy_of_a_Dying_World.jpg\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSilent Planet – Elegy of a Dying World<\/a><\/h3>\nSilent Planet \u2013 Elegy of a Dying World is a game that just so happens to combine some of my favorite things of all time. It\u2019s a retro-style metroidvania inspired by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, it\u2019s also gothic sci-fi, and has cosmic horror elements as well. Let that sink in. This is s sci-fi, cosmic horror metroidvania that\u2019s taking inspiration from the best Castelvania game. So yeah. Needless to say, I\u2019m pretty excited for it. The story takes place in the year 2997, and you\u2019re exploring this underground facility to look for the so-called Angel\u2019s Egg, a mysterious artifact that\u2019s apparently the source of all life in the universe, and along the way, you encounter all sorts of unspeakable horrors. Everything about this project looks insanely good, from the pixel art to the music, the animations, the designs of the world and the monsters, so as a huge fan of Castlevania and cosmic horror in general, I\u2019m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNULLLINE<\/a><\/h3>\nNULLLINE is a game whose title I\u2019m not entirely sure how to pronounce, but that doesn\u2019t stop me from including it on my list. It\u2019s a point & click adventure game with an incredible, dystopian world where you play as a so-called Line Drifter who dives into the minds of corrupted androids in order to uncover their secrets. It\u2019s also described as dark, cyber-noir adventure where you\u2019ll be exploring the boundaries between reality and the digital mind, which already sounds really interesting to me. That said, very little has been shown about the game so far, but I think it passes the vibe check, so to speak, so I\u2019ll be looking forward to how it turns out.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Bagman<\/a><\/h3>\nThis one\u2019s a retro-style, stealth-based horror adventure game very clearly inspired by the classic Clock Tower series \u2013 it uses the tried-and-true formula of having to play hide and seek with a persistent stalker that\u2019s always roaming the area, so imagine something like Alien: Isolation or the RE2 remake\u2019s Tyrant, except\u2026 in 2D, with some really gorgeous pixel art. What also makes the game particularly interesting is the way it lets you give commands to your NPC partners. Let\u2019s say I\u2019m hiding inside a closet while the monster is roaming outside \u2013 when this happens, I can use my radio to let my partner know and ask him to provide a little distraction so I could actually come out of hiding and continue exploring or solving puzzles. And trust me, trying to escape from a monster that\u2019s always looking for you is still pretty intense in 2D. As I said, the pixel art is also incredible, with some pretty grotesque details, so if you\u2019re a fan of body horror and classic slasher films, you\u2019ll probably want to check this one out.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Many Sins of House Ocampo<\/a><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019ve played the free horror adventure game If On A Winter’s Night, Four Travelers, and wanted more from the same developer, well\u2026 your wishes have been granted, because The Many Sins of House Ocampo is exactly that: a new project from that same team. It\u2019s still going to be an adventure game with some incredible pixel art, but this time, we\u2019re following the investigations of a woman trying to uncover some of the most horrifying secrets of her own family, reliving the final moments of each family member to uncover what ultimately happened to them. Winter Night was already an amazingly chilling and memorable point and click experience, so I have no doubts that we\u2019ll be getting something special with this new game, too.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSilent Planet – Elegy of a Dying World<\/a><\/h3>\nSilent Planet \u2013 Elegy of a Dying World is a game that just so happens to combine some of my favorite things of all time. It\u2019s a retro-style metroidvania inspired by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, it\u2019s also gothic sci-fi, and has cosmic horror elements as well. Let that sink in. This is s sci-fi, cosmic horror metroidvania that\u2019s taking inspiration from the best Castelvania game. So yeah. Needless to say, I\u2019m pretty excited for it. The story takes place in the year 2997, and you\u2019re exploring this underground facility to look for the so-called Angel\u2019s Egg, a mysterious artifact that\u2019s apparently the source of all life in the universe, and along the way, you encounter all sorts of unspeakable horrors. Everything about this project looks insanely good, from the pixel art to the music, the animations, the designs of the world and the monsters, so as a huge fan of Castlevania and cosmic horror in general, I\u2019m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNULLLINE<\/a><\/h3>\nNULLLINE is a game whose title I\u2019m not entirely sure how to pronounce, but that doesn\u2019t stop me from including it on my list. It\u2019s a point & click adventure game with an incredible, dystopian world where you play as a so-called Line Drifter who dives into the minds of corrupted androids in order to uncover their secrets. It\u2019s also described as dark, cyber-noir adventure where you\u2019ll be exploring the boundaries between reality and the digital mind, which already sounds really interesting to me.
