Sure thing, let me give it a shot:
So, there I was, scrolling through this platform called indie.io. It’s like, picture Netflix but, you know, for games. They team up with all these different game developers to publish everything from RPGs to, I dunno, games about managing cats? Anyway, a bunch of these games are on sale for the Nintendo Switch right now—only till July 30, though. So if you’re into this stuff, maybe check it out. Or don’t. Just a suggestion.
Alright, yeah, this sale’s got a bit of everything. Cozy games, like the kind where you just wander around and do your thing, tactical stuff where you’ve gotta use your brain (not my jam, but more power to you if it’s yours), and those old-school monster-catching ones too. Here, let me try to highlight a handful of them. Not like I’m an expert or anything, just thought they were cool. Let’s dive in, I guess.
Echoes of the Plum Grove
Ever wanted to get shipwrecked and start a new life? Well, say hello to Echoes of the Plum Grove. You start on some island and it’s like, "Here’s a tiny plot of land, make something of it." Sounds fun, right? You get to expand, have a family, make friends or enemies—there’s even a witch coven. Wild. The artwork? All hand-drawn. Feels kinda like flipping through an old picture book, if you know what I mean. Bonus: island mysteries waiting for you to trip over them.
Dark Deity
This one? It’s like a throwback to old-school strategy RPGs. Remember those? You got 30 characters to mess with, and if one bites the dust, they don’t just disappear. Nope, they stick around with some gnarly stats drop. Adds a bit of tension, you know? The story’s spread over a whopping 28 chapters, which is… well, that’s a lot of chapters. Oh, and there’s some DLC in the mix, too. Extra levels, extra story, extra chaos.
Coromon
Now, if you’re into catching cute creatures and making ’em battle—Coromon might be your thing. More than a hundred of these little guys to snag. Each has its quirks, which means figuring out who does what when things get dicey. They’ve got traits that could trigger whenever—in a good or bad way, your call. The plot twists are supposedly off the charts. Who knew you could cram so much story in a game about catching monsters?
Cat Cafe Manager
The name pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? You take over a café overrun by cats in this place called Caterwaul Way. You build it up, hire folks, decorate, and chat with the townsfolk. Maybe there’s a hidden story or two. Honestly, I hear it’s therapeutic. And who could say no to cute cat friends?
9 Years of Shadows
Total shift in vibe with this one. It’s a side-scrolling adventure where, apparently, color’s been sucked out of the world for, well, nine years. You control Europa, who’s got a bear friend—just go with it—that helps bring back the color. Epic soundtrack too, from what I hear. It’s not every day you restore hues to a monochrome world, right?
Mail Time
Last but not least—Mail Time. Cottagecore vibes, if that’s your thing. You’re a courier delivering letters in a forest full of quirky creatures. No time pressure, no danger. Just chill platforming and gliding, delivering letters to whoever needs ’em. It’s like a tranquil Sunday afternoon, but wrapped up in a game.
So, yeah, there’s my rambling rundown. If any of these tickle your fancy, jump on the sale. Or just keep doing what you’re doing. Life’s too short to stress over digital discounts.
