Double Fine's first post-Xbox title, first-person Soulslikes and other new indie games worth checking out

Plus, lots of horror (cozy and otherwise), a colorful platformer and a wolf-battling shepherd dog.

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. As ever, we've got a whole bunch of new games you can jump into this weekend. We'll also dive into some highlights from some of the showcases that aired this week.

The first of those is the Cozy After Dark Showcase. This featured more than 50 games that are eerie, dark, mysterious or otherwise unsettling while just so happening to be a bit cozy as well.

I was happy to see more of a game I'm very excited for, the murder-mystery farming sim Grave Seasons. Developer Perfect Garbage shed extra light on the seasonal farming cycle as well as the game's replayability. The story lasts an in-game year and you can restart it with a new killer and victims while retaining your farming progress.

Other games that stood out to me included DeadRoot (in which you play as a snail that uses a sword and suplexes), Usual June ("a third-person action-adventure game about combat, cupcakes and community") and FallBearers (a co-op game in which you and a friend must overcome obstacles as you transport bodies to their final resting places). Demos for the latter two of those games, others from the showcase and discounts on cozy-but-a-little-scary titles are available through an event on Steam.

The latest Galaxies showcase also featured more than 50 games. Among them were pinball-based top-down shooter Appulse , first-person Western Soulslike Guns of Eschaton and gun-fu/parkour action title Spine , which looks stylish and silly (I'm amped for that one).
