Indie Game Releases of the Week: 25th to 31st May 2020

This week in indie games we have kitty-searching game Summer Paws, horror game Those Who Remain, action game Resolutiion, and more.

In this balanced week that marks the end of May 2020, we have indie games full of pyromania, survival horror, stylish action, and wonderful kitties.

Also check out the honourable indie mentions for the wider release of Shantae and the Seven Sirens, as well as such creative ideas as a blackjack roguelike and a fixed-camera third-person arena shooter.

Finally, remember to have a look at the other indie releases to find a whole bunch of ports, including the wider releases of Little Misfortune, Genetic Disaster, Bug Fables, Atomicrops, and more!

Wildfire

26th May on PC | Trailer

Wildfire is a stealth game in which ‘everything burns’. In this Humble Bundle-published title, you use the elements to your advantage to outsmart your enemies and free the villagers held captive by the Arch Duchess. You can even play co-op, if you know someone who’d like to watch the world burn with you.

Summer Paws

26th May on PC | Trailer

Summer Paws is an exploration game with a pitch that’s as simple as it gets. You have eighteen islands to explore freely, with no timers, no scores, and no pressure. Your goal? To find the many, many sleepy kitties hidden throughout the islands. You’ll have to look everywhere in this relaxing traipse.

Resolutiion

28th May on PC, Mac, Linux, Switch | Trailer

Resolutiion is an action adventure game with a stylish pixel art aesthetic that hearkens to Hyper Light Drifter. You follow the adventure of an old killer escorting a curious AI, and with this duo you will fight, solve puzzles, explore a fractured cyberpunk world, and decide whether you want to become the hero or the villain.

Those Who Remain

28th May on PC, PS4, Xbox One | Trailer

Those Who Remain is a psychological horror game set in a mysterious town called Dormont, where the protagonist must grapple with a breaking reality and his own challenged sanity. You’ll learn more about the town as you explore it, and you’ll have to make decisions regarding its citizens that may not be the most pleasant.

Skyhill: Black Mist

28th May on PC | Trailer

Skyhill: Black Mist is a survival horror game set in a vast, interconnected set of buildings known as the Skyhill condominium. Your daughter is kidnapped, and the building is rife with monsters and cultists. The game features non-linear exploration and survival horror mechanics in which you can play your way and make use of multiple solutions to problems.
