The latest edition of Indiepocalypse (the monthly alternative game anthology I run) is now out! If you don't know what Indiepocalypse is I wrote a starter guide!
The games in this month issue (as seen in the trailer) are
ruins of courage by kumori
'ruins of courage' is a short bitsy game about humanity, its flaws, and its sins. it was originally created simply as a way to practice pixel art in bitsy, but it become more than that. the game will only take around 5 minutes to complete.
please note that this game is meant to be thought-provoking and introspective; it is not meant to have exciting gameplay and cool cutscenes. if you are looking for a fast-paced gaming experience, you will not find it here. with that being said, it is the creator's hope that people will still give this game a try, and perhaps even dwell on its message.

1998 by Berrak Nil Boya
A game about trying to find good songs to make a mixtape for a very special friend.
"I’d strongly recommend making sure you don’t miss a single tape as every last one pops up a slice of internal monologuing, our poor protagonist doing her best at figuring out what’s what; and not just regarding the potential mixtape contents either." - Wraithkal
"It really gives the nervous lesbian disaster vibes perfectly. Makes my students anxious whenever we play it in class." - Anna Anthropy
And newly commissioned for Indiepocalypse!
how to use the subway by @quewon
"how to use the subway" is a little portrait of transit with a subway system that's freshly cooked up whenever you boot it up. in it you can wait for the train... wander... get lost... get bored... people-watch... listen to music.
