<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bugsnax</h2>
<p class="">Snaktooth Island is home to many natural marvels, the most well-known of which are the titular Bugsnax. These miraculous creatures are half-dessert, half-insects that taste every bit as wild as they look. Take control of a Grumpus–an intelligent, squeezably adorable furry bipedal monster–and hunt down and catalog all the various species of Bugsnax while searching for your missing mentor in this weird odyssey from Young Horses. Use deliciously creative tools like the Sauce Slinger, Lunchpad, and Snakgrabbler in your quest to catalog every Bugsnax for research (and taste) purposes. You’ll also be humming the game’s infectiously catchy theme song for days.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Celeste</h2>
<p class="">Conquer your fears in this critically acclaimed action platformer from Maddy Makes Games. Join Madeline as she undertakes a metaphysical journey to climb to the summit of Mount Celeste–and face her own insecurities. Her journey takes her through numerous side-scrolling platforming trials, filled with all manner of gimmicks and hazards: bumpers, disappearing ground, conveyor belts, scorching magma, and so, <em>so</em> many spikes. You’ll need to make adept use of Madeline’s signature midair-dash (and power-ups to enhance said dash) to triumph. But don’t worry if you’re not a fast-movement master: ample accessibility options are here to aid you if you need them. Whether you play for the invigorating platform challenges or the moving story, Celeste is an experience you won’t soon forget.</p>

<p class="">Something’s happened to the kingdom of Picnic–all the color’s been sucked away. And what’s worse is that the Wielder of the powerful Brush that can restore order is missing. It’s up to the big-dreaming janitor dog Pizza (or whatever you name them) to take up the Brush, restore the color to the land, and fight off the encroaching darkness in Greg Lobanov’s charming art adventure Chicory. You’ll use unique paintbrush and coloring mechanics to navigate the world and solve puzzles, like making plants bloom with a little touch of the brush or lighting up dark caves with glow-in-the-dark paint. And with lots of cute clothing and brush customizations to find, you’ll look fabulous in your artistic adventures.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dead Cells</h2>
<p class="">A castle with ever-changing corridors, with no checkpoints, no save spots, and only you and your prowess separating you from a miserable fate. The Prisoner is a being that can possess human corpses, which are in no short supply on this fetid island. Again and again, the Prisoner’s hosts are destroyed, but they do not give up searching for a means to end the island’s misery. The intense 2D action-platforming of Motion Twin’s Dead Cells is a unique experience with each attempt, with the procedurally generated castle layout transforming into something new each time you play. Every time you die, it’s back to zero at the beginning–but with the valuable skills and knowledge you’ve gained from your previous struggle. It will take many tries to master your movement and attacks, discover uses for weapons and spells, learn enemy patterns, and uncover new routes to traverse. Are you up to the challenge?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Minit</h2>
<p class="">Minit, a strange retro-inspired journey from former Vlambeer co-founder Jan Willem Nijman and his team, starts as many great adventure games do: a funny little dude finds an epic sword and goes on a riveting adventure. The problem? This sword is cursed and will kill you in sixty seconds. You do get to respawn at home, at least, but dying a lot is kind of a problem–especially because there just happens to be a sword factory making even more cursed swords you need to put a stop to. But you’ll need to take your heroic journey to quash a corrupt corporation one step at a time, doing your best to explore an odd monochrome world, meet its strange inhabitants, and collect key items and information before you’re dead again. Time management has never been so much fun.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">My Friend Pedro</h2>
<p class="">They say that bananas are inanimate objects and don’t have feelings about concepts like “friendship” and “bloodlust.” Those people have never met Pedro, the bestest banana buddy in the whole wide world who tells you who needs to go down in a hail of gunfire. Developer Victor Ågren’s wild escapade of gunplay and glory offers copious ways to annihilate everyone standing in your way. Use your dual guns, find objects in the environment you can use to your advantage, or hell, kick a jerk square in the face and watch that bonus multiplier satisfyingly  tick up with every fool you take down. Of course, you’ve got a mess of targets on your back, too, so use your slow-motion focus skill to aim true and dodge everything your foes are lobbing at you in style. You do want to make Pedro happy, don’t you?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nidhogg</h2>
<p class="">In the bizarre world of Mark Essen’s Nidhogg, the ultimate goal of life is being devoured by a giant worm from Norse mythology. It’s certainly not the sort of life goal everyone aspires to. Here, however, to achieve the honor of becoming lunch, a warrior must travel a great distance, through halls of traps and an infinite supply of constantly-respawning opponents, to reach the great annelid. Nidhogg is a unique competitive tug-of-war game where two players constantly jockey for position in a 2D side-scrolling environment. Use swords, kicks, and fisticuffs strategically to overcome your opponent and reach the goal but should you fail, the focus shifts to your opponent, tasking you with stopping their advance. Both the original, beautiful-in-its-simplicity Nidhogg and the bigger and charmingly grotesque Nidhogg 2 are available in the Game Catalog!</p>

<p class="">Another award-winning indie milestone is in the Game Catalog. Do you ever get a distinct sense of deja vu, like time is repeating in an infinite loop? Well, it can’t be as bad as the situation the protagonist of the Outer Wilds finds themself. They wake up to discover that the sun of the solar system they’ve been researching is going to go supernova in 22 minutes, taking all the planets they’ve been studying (and them) along with it. To understand why the time loop exists and what’s causing this destruction, you’ll need to investigate every inch of the increasingly dangerous solar system as it (figuratively and literally) disintegrates, uncovering a poignant and unforgettable narrative. Don’t miss out on this must-play experience.</p>

<p class="">It’s time to take up your kitchen implements and go on an absurd cooking adventure unlike ever before. The Onion King messed up big time and summoned the Unbread from the Necronomnomicon, and the only way to put things right is to collect various recipes. In Overcooked 2 from Ghost Town Games, you and up to three friends (either local or playing online) will prepare exquisite meals in some of the most bizarre restaurants you’ve ever imagined. The baking antics are fast and furious as you work together to manage ingredients, cook, and clean in wild, hazard-filled environments. Have you ever prepared food in a hot air balloon? On a roaring river? In the depths of a mine? While you deal with portals and conveyor belts? <em>In space?</em> No matter how you slice it, Overcooked 2 serves up riotous co-op enjoyment.</p>

<p class="">Farming and life-simulation games are all the rage these days, but how many of them let you experience the sublime joy of raising sentient goop? Monomi Park’s Slime Rancher is a unique twist on the beloved genre. Beatrix LeBeau is an intrepid rancher who has left Earth for greener pastures many light-years away on the Far, Far Range. She’s trying to wrangle some newfangled livestock: adorably squishy, blobby, wobbly slimes. You’ll need to explore the world to gather materials for slime husbandry, which you’ll gleefully suck up into your handy VacPack. Raise your slimes well, and you’ll get “plorts” that you can either sell or use in breeding bigger, badder slimes–but be careful not to make a destructive Tarr.</p>

The future of humanity lies in the hands of Simon and a few other stragglers, provided that they can survive the living nightmare that surrounds them both in and outside of Pathos-II.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Towerfall: Ascension</h2>
<p class="">If you have a bunch of friends and are looking for a raucous party experience, Maddy Makes Games’s Towerfall Ascension will hit the mark every time. Take control of an archer with a singular goal: be the last one standing in an arrow-slinging free-for all. Shoot, dodge, catch and collect arrows, and use power-ups to turn the tide of battle. Don’t have a full group of friends, or riding solo? Solo Trials mode and single and co-op Quest mode will hone your archery skills to a fine-pointed tip, so you’re ready for when challengers arrive. You’ll laugh, cry, and forge (or maybe lose) everlasting friendships in Towerfall’s archery arenas.</p>
