It’s only been a week since I’ve done one of these and there’s already been a billion games that have come out, so I’ll probably do a few of these over the next few days. It’s a bit less overwhelming and one of my kids has their birthday today so I don’t want to spend all day writing one of these.

If you enjoy this post, consider checking out Michael Coorlim’s site (games writer and narrative designer) and buying one of his books, checking out his patreon, or hiring him to work on your game. I liked his book Cold Reboot.

Anyway, here are just some of the games released this week

Oktrollberfest 2025 just wrapped up on Itch. It’s a game jam where people create troll games using ZZT and MegaZeux.

Minerva Labyrinth (Steam/Itch.io) is now available! It’s a first-person turn-based dungeon crawler set in the future. Sometimes these are referred to as blobbers. I was a beta tester on it and while I wasn’t very good at finding bugs, it’s a very good game and I recommend it.

No Players Online (Steam) got a commercial release! I was a huge fan of this horror adventure about a dead online game when it was just a freeware game so this is probably very good too.

It’s kind of been a ridiculous year for adventure games. Foolish Mortals (Steam) has been another big release that folks have been waiting for. I think the art looks fantastic and Adventure Game Hotspot gave it a glowing review.

Pepper Odyssey (Steam/Itch.io) is the newest game by Wavey Games. I was a big fan of their adventure game Melon Head and this one looks wild too. It’s an rpg where you are a pepper merchant stranded on an island and need to explore and interact with others to find a way off.

And finally there’s Indiepocalypse 70 (Itch.io), an excellent collection of experimental indie games.

That’s it for today because I don’t have time for the whole list but I’ll try to do one every day for a while and hopefully that’s not too much.
