A grief-stricken road trip, The Traitors on the go and other new indie games worth checking out

Plus, multiple showcases and a co-op haunted mansion game with a pair of pups.

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As ever, we'll take a peek at new games you can jump into this weekend and others that are a bit further away. First, though, let's look at some highlights from showcases that aired this week along with a few other bits of news.

All of the previous Triple-i Initiative showcases have been solid and the latest one is no different. As well as news of updates for the likes of Windrose and Chained Together, this year's second edition of the showcase revealed that Among Us Story: On Guard (a detective spinoff of the multiplayer phenomenon) will arrive on February 17.

We got word of yet another Strange Scaffold game — the Xcom-esque Gods With Badges — while Lazare's Sacrifice, a narrative deckbuilder that Gwent: The Witcher Card Game designer Damien Monnier contributed to, is coming next year. The showcase also included gameplay from The Talos Principle 3 and looks at dozens of other games.

Playtests and demos for many of the games featured in the showcase are now live. I was particularly jazzed to finally get my hands on Militsioner , six years after it was first revealed. This is an immersive sim in which you're trying to escape from a town. However, there's a giant, near-omniscient cop that strives to keep you in line ahead of a trial over a crime you seemingly did not commit.
