ISSUE #50

Cover - Gil Goletski

Hello and welcome to Indiepocalypse!

Indiepocalypse is a curated monthly collection looking to highlight the very best of the alternative indie game scene. 

Each month features games by 10 different developers, including a newly commissioned game exclusive to the bundle-zine. The games cover a wide variety of styles, genres, and themes as they fight against any definition of "indie game" as a genre.

Also, and this part is very important to me and should truly be taken as given, each contributor is paid and developers are paid royalties on all future sales.

This Month's Games


ruins of courage (WIN) 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 (HTML) 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


*NEWLY COMMISSIONED FOR INDIEPOCALYPSE*
