Best Indie Games (2026)

A 2021 indie RPG that swings for the fences with anime aesthetics and weird charm, but lands in a niche so small it might already be forgotten.

A bite-sized puzzle-adventure about a maid cleaning up candy-themed chaos, light on difficulty and heavy on charm.

A 2018 indie adventure that flew under the radar, minimal hype, minimal information, maximum mystery about what it actually is.

A budget escape room sim that swaps locked rooms for mad science labs, think Portal's puzzle logic meets point-and-click adventure, except the production budget was clearly spent on the concept, not the execution.

A point-and-click adventure that leans hard into puzzle-solving and exploration, but lacks the polish and narrative momentum to stick with most players.
