Four images, running clockwise: A young man strikes a confident combat pose while fighting off monsters with exposed brains while a giant skull vomits green mist overhead. A figure with a skeletal head and long braided hair wearing a cap faces the viewer, with a clock on the wall in the background. The Indiescovery Podcast logo shows a stylised video game mini-map. A young woman stands in a field of purple grass with a forest of pine trees in the background, and what might be a grave marker close beside her.

Somehow it’s June already, which means it’s time for the Indiescovery crew to suppress our existential dread at the fleetingness of existence and take a look at our favourite indie games from the first (almost) half of 2023! Don’t worry, we very quickly realise that June has such a slammed line-up we can probably give it a best-games episode all of its own to make up for the fact that we tackled this topic a bit early.

Episode notes

Finally, and as ever, we delve into our current hyperfixations. Following his secondment to coverThe Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdomfor some of our console-acknowledging sister sites, Liam has discovered that this hidden gem from Nintendo is a really good game, actually. I’ve been playing visual novels again (surprise, surprise), and am enjoying the contrast that comes from following up the decidedly-not-indieParanormasight: The Seven Mysteries Of Honjowith the extremely-indie fangameLove Is Strange. And while Rachel never expected to be talking about Kylie Minogue on an indie gaming podcast in 2023, she simply can’t get the new singlePadam Padamout of her head!

The gang are also pleased to announce that we’re jury members at Indie Cup UK ‘23, an online festival celebrating indie devs, so be sure to check out our pals atIndieCup.netto see what we’re up to!
