Deer & Boy

Developed by Lifetap Studios and published by Plug In Digital, Deer & Boy is a cinematic puzzle-platformer that tells the story of a young boy and his loyal deer companion as they journey through a beautiful but dangerous world. Combining environmental puzzles, stealth sequences and emotionally driven storytelling, the game places a strong emphasis on cooperation between its two protagonists.

Ahead of launch, Deer & Boy has drawn comparisons to acclaimed narrative adventures such as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Spirit of the North, thanks to its touching premise and painterly visual style. Early previews have praised the game’s atmospheric presentation and wordless storytelling, making it one of the more intriguing indie releases of the week.

Dark Scrolls

Developed by doinksoft and published by Devolver Digital, Dark Scrolls is a fantasy-themed action platformer that blends fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with shoot-’em-up chaos and roguelite progression. Players can tackle procedurally generated runs either solo or in local and online co-op, choosing from a roster of distinct heroes, each with unique abilities, side objectives and customizable accessories that encourage different playstyles. Handcrafted levels, branching paths, hidden secrets and increasingly challenging bosses ensure that no two runs play out exactly the same.

One of the game’s standout features is its emphasis on replayability. Between runs, players can spend collected coins at Bruce & Goose’s Shoppe to unlock powerful perks, devastating attacks and summonable allies, creating over-the-top combinations inspired by classic arcade games. Following its launch on June 22 for PC and Nintendo Switch, Dark Scrolls has already earned praise for its charming pixel-art presentation, cooperative gameplay and satisfying blend of old-school platforming with modern roguelite design.

Flesh Made Fear

Developed by Tainted Pact Games and published by Assemble Entertainment, Flesh Made Fear is a survival horror title heavily inspired by the genre’s PlayStation-era classics. Players investigate a remote research facility overrun by grotesque biological horrors, carefully managing limited resources while solving environmental puzzles and uncovering the truth behind a terrifying scientific experiment.

The game has generated considerable interest thanks to its deliberate throwback approach, featuring fixed camera angles, oppressive atmosphere and methodical exploration. Recent previews have highlighted its practical creature designs and classic horror influences, positioning Flesh Made Fear as one of the year’s most promising indie horror releases. We’ll have a review of this soon.
