Peak on consoles, hockey roguelites and other new indie games worth checking out

Plus, Steam Next Fest, food-based horror games and a bunch of Dispatch updates.

Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. There are some neat new games you can play this weekend and we'll take a look at a few that are on the way. However, much of the attention this week is on Steam Next Fest. The latest edition of the event, which includes thousands of demos, runs until Monday.

The week ran away from me, so I haven't played too many demos yet. I did enjoy playing a chunk of Emberville recently, and the whole prologue's now available for you to dive into. Progress carries over into the full game, which is out on October 27.

I absolutely had to carve out time to check out the demo for Golden Retriever Simple Life, which I've had on my wishlist since I first saw it last year. This is an FMV life sim in which you take care of a golden retriever named Pichu. The demo runs for a week of in-game time, during which you'll feed, pet, play with, train and go on adventures with this very good boy. Mechanically, it's pretty light, but I absolutely do not care because this game is utterly lovely so far. I can't wait to play the full thing in February.

I'm planning to check out other demos this weekend, including one of the big hits of this edition of Next Fest, the cyberpunk shopkeeping sim Probably Stolen .
