Whether you’re craving a chill job sim, a rhythmic rebellion, or something cozy to run in the background while you work – this week’s indie game lineup is serving up an absolute spread. Let’s dive into the freshest pixel-packed brews hitting our digital shelves:
Ship Inc - june 23rd
Ever fantasised about leaving your day job for something a little more… neatly packaged? Ship Inc lets you step into the oddly satisfying world of parcel packing. Choose the right boxes, sort items, and upgrade your workspace as you run your own shipping biz. It’s like PowerWash Simulator meets eCommerce chaos—only cuter and with way less stress.
Simple, wholesome, and calming, it scratches that same itch as Unpacking or A Little to the Left, and might just become your new go-to background game.
Not Monday Café - june 23rd
Ever wish you could run a cozy little café while getting through your Monday emails? Not Monday Café makes that dream a reality. It’s a bottom-of-your-screen idle café and farming sim that lets you grow crops, whip up delicious dishes, and serve a cast of adorable animal customers—all while you multitask.
The vibe is peaceful and pastel-soaked, with lo-fi beats and easy progression that doesn’t demand your constant attention. Perfect for players who love games like Lemon Cake or Bear and Breakfast, but with even lower stakes.
tiny aquarium: social fishkeeping - june 23rd
Imagine a living, breathing aquarium tucked into your screen, evolving over time whether you’re playing or not. Tiny Aquarium is an ambient fishkeeping game where you decorate tanks, raise colourful fish, and even visit friends’ aquariums.
With its serene atmosphere and incremental progress, it plays like a beautiful blend of Viridi and Neko Atsume. Ideal for winding down after a long day or adding a touch of life to your workspace.
Nanomon: Virtual Pet - june 24th
Remember Tamagotchis? Now imagine they were a little weirder—and a lot more powerful. Nanomon is a charming digital pet sim where you raise bizarre creatures like flying cats, pixel dragons, or literal watermelon beasts. Feed them strange food, train them in mini-games, and evolve them into something even stranger.
It’s nostalgic, creative, and delightfully quirky, with a pixel art style and an offbeat tone that makes it feel like a lost Game Boy gem. If you loved Monster Rancher or World of Horror, this might be your jam.
How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine - june 24th
This one’s for the puzzle-heads and co-op lovers. Lost Submarine is the next entry in the How 2 Escape series – dropping you into the claustrophobic corridors of a sinking submarine. One player handles the escape room gameplay, the other reads the manual (or mobile app), feeding instructions and solving the mysteries together.
It’s tense, clever, and designed to test your communication skills under pressure. Think Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but underwater and with even more stakes. Releases June 24 – get your duo ready.
Grifford Academy - june 25th
Step into the magical halls of Grifford Academy, a story-rich, turn-based RPG about teens, trials, and tactical battles. You’ll join Erika, Cap, and Viva as they study spells, navigate friendships, and uncover mysteries across the enchanting world of Caldria.
It’s heartfelt and character-driven, with a lovely hand-drawn aesthetic and diary-style storytelling that makes it feel like playing through a graphic novel. For fans of Ikenfell, Wildermyth, or any story where magic school meets emotional growth.
Skyline: Urban Story - june 26th
This one’s for the city-builder brainiacs. Skyline: Urban Story throws you into the world of urban planning with a unique mix of economic realism and dynamic social systems. Tweak property prices, juggle class divides, manage traffic, and shape your neighbourhood into a thriving metropolis.
It’s not just about placing buildings—it’s about understanding the flow of people, money, and infrastructure. If Cities: Skylines and SimCity Societies had a baby with a political science degree, this would be it.
Antro - june 27th
And now for something completely different: Antro is a rhythm-infused platformer set in a dystopian underground world, where you’ll solve puzzles and traverse urban wastelands to the beat of a bass-heavy soundtrack.
With stunning 2.5D visuals and a revolutionary story about rebellion through music, it’s part cinematic platformer, part political statement, all wrapped in killer vibes. Think Inside meets Say No! More, but drenched in street culture and pulsing beats. Launches late June.
That’s your indie forecast for the week! Whether you’re building cities, solving puzzles underwater, or decorating a digital fish tank – there’s something here for every mood and every monitor.
Until Next Time, Stay Caffeinated!
