Come admire these interesting indie games

A man sits bored in a car in a screenshot from the untitled horror game by @HorrorUntitled on Twitter.

Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips.

Look!The big question I have of perfume spritzers in alt-history 1970s immersive simSpectrais: can I use them to blind unwitting enemies?perfume spritzer vending machines.
