6 Unique Games Featured in the indie.io Publisher Sale on Nintendo Switch

Alright, so here’s something for ya. There’s this place called indie.io — sounds kinda mysterious, right? It’s like this wild jungle where video games roam free. They’ve got this crazy diverse collection, like a buffet for gamers with all sorts of tastes. Right now, they’ve slashed prices on a bunch of games for the Nintendo Switch, but only ’til July 30.

And, oh boy, the genres! Imagine cozy adventures for days when you just want to wrap yourself in a blanket and sip on chamomile tea or tactical RPGs for those nights when you’re feeling smart. Creature collectors, management sims, there’s just… a lot, okay? It’s like someone took a gaming cookbook and just… emptied it out in front of you.

First up, “Echoes of the Plum Grove.” You wash up on this island — why? Who knows. But the point is, you get a little land to call your own. Sounds peaceful, right? But also, there’re witches, neighbors who might just hate your guts, and mysteries as if Agatha Christie dropped by for tea. It’s hand-drawn too, like your childhood doodles on steroids.

Then there’s “Dark Deity.” Strategy lovers, buckle up. Imagine leading a ragtag squad through 28 chapters like some epic fantasy novel where characters can actually get hurt badly. And there’s this DLC thing, “Suns Out, Swords Out” — which sounds like a summer vacay ad but more epic, more swords.

And hey, if you’re into pocketing monsters, “Coromon” is your jam. Over 100 monsters to wrangle, and each has these quirks called traits. It’s like Pokémon but with a twist, a strategic twist. The story takes you across six—uh, what are they—biomes? Sure, let’s call ’em that.

Oh, and for cat lovers — “Cat Cafe Manager.” Straight up, you manage a café for cats. They plop you in this worn-out cafe, and you spritz it up. Make it fancy, make it yours. It’s like HGTV met Animal Planet.

Then, the daring duo arrive. “9 Years of Shadows” — here dark meets daring. Picture a world leeched of color, and you, a warrior named Europa, teaming up with a floating bear (because why not?) trying to return vibrancy to a bleak world. It’s a Metroidvania journey with music tunes so epic, they could be your life’s soundtrack.

Last but so not least, “Mail Time.” Pure, chill vibes. You’re delivering mail. Seriously. That’s it. But with style! You glide, jump, and just… exist in this whimsical forest of cute critters, like life’s a never-ending Sunday afternoon.

So, there you have it — a tapestry of pixels and plot twists, each with its own flavor and flair. Dive in, or don’t. Maybe you’d rather watch a tree grow. But isn’t choice the spice of life?
