All proceeds from the Palestinian Relief indie bundle will be donated to the PCRF (Palestine Children's Relief Fund).

Not sure if we're allowed to post special bundles like this so feel free to bonk me mods.

So... Are any of them good? So far I haven't even recognized any.

A lot of them are listed as TTRPGs (which I assume is a PDF of rules) and most of the rest look like game jam entries. (Something slapped together in a few days)

Here are the few I'm familiar with:

  • Anodyne - tried it few years ago and it seemed pretty decent, need to go back to it eventually.
  • Coffee Talk - still in my backlog but looks like a coffee version of VA-11 Hall-A. Nice art style, saw positive opinions about it.
  • They Bleed Pixels - fun but challenging platformer with lots of bloody combat.
  • Wandersong - got pretty famous for a while. Haven't played it myself but what I saw seemed like a great little title.

I've only quickly skimmed through, but another two:

  • A Short Hike, adventure/exploration game with relaxing gameplay, I really recommend this one
  • ZeroRanger, "old-school" shmup with awesome gameplay and ost, if you're into shmups it's almost worth getting the bundle for this one alone tbh

I purchased the bundle and so far have been playing Spring Falls, Pixross, Beglitched, and Shutter Stroll. I am enjoying all of those.

Honestly it has a lot of good games, and at this price you can justify it by just one or two (like wandersong.)

For anyone buying this bundle, or has ever purchased one before, the bundle browser is an essential way to sort and find what games you own.

You can filter games by what was in previous bundles so you can see what purely new games you are getting and what are dupes.

But seriously, don't be afraid to dive in and try the many, MANY games made by small indie devs. This is a great way to discover hidden gems that otherwise might not ever get a chance, and other small projects which might not be your typical game but an interesting experience regardless.
