11 Wholesome Direct Indies To Put On Your Radar

gameinformer.com:

On a Saturday filled with indie game showcases, Wholes Games’ hour-long presentation set itself apart by spotlighting the independent titles that ask players to stop and smell the roses. From contemplative to whimsical, ambitious to comforting, around 100 games were nestled into the show. And while it was tough, we narrowed down the field to bring you a list of our most anticipated games from the show. Grab a cup of tea and get comfy because here are the cozy highlights.

Being developed by the wonderfully named development team MegaWobble, Little Gator Game is a brazenly Zelda-inspired title with a lively sense of humor and more than a dash of eye-catching art. Its inviting gameplay and enthusiastic protagonist earned it a spot on our most anticipated indies of 2022. It’s coming sometime this year to Switch and PC.

Many indie fans may already have jumped into the vibrant Pokémon-like Ooblets when it debuted in early access. However, the 1.0 launch is close at hand, which will see the game hit Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Today’s direct showed off some of the new areas, characters, and dance moves players can look forward to this summer.

Coming in 2023 to consoles and PC, the Coffee Talk follow-up got an exclusive new trailer in the direct. It revealed some of the new narrative brewing in the upcoming game, along with glimpses of fresh drinks to whip up for first-time and returning customers.

This look at the story-drive, music-centered indie starts out with a fun announcement. A demo for We Are OFK will be available to play this coming Monday, June 13, as a part of Steam Next Fest. So, if you still can’t wrap your head around what this game has to offer, don’t forget to jump into the hands-on experience
