Indie Game Releases of the Week: June 20 to 26, 2022

This week in indie games, we have the adventure game Havsala: Into the Soul Palace, 2D platformers Mago and Ruggnar, and more.

There’s plenty of adventure to be had this week, because indie games this week will get you exploring gloomy places, waving magic wands, solving puzzles, returning to post-communist hometowns, and investigating spooky cases.

And there’s more! Check out the other original releases below the featured picks too!

Broken Mind

June 21 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch

Broken Mind is an action survival horror game in which you play as Agent Frank Morgan, who is out to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl during an Internet broadcast. You’ll have to fight, explore, and solve puzzles on your quest to find out what happened to the girl, Laura Campbell.

Havsala: Into the Soul Palace

June 21 on PC

Havsala: Into the Soul Palace is a point-and-click adventure game in which you interact with different parts of a room to reveal a story full of historical references and mysticism. In it, you solve puzzles with clues left behind by previous reincarnations of a single soul.

Mago

June 21 on PC

Mago is a 2D platformer in which you play as a sorcerer adventuring through a variety of hand-crafted levels, each with its own mechanics. Naturally, you’ll be using a magic wand to purify evil and solve puzzles. And look, if that doesn’t work out, you can use a mecha robot instead, because even sorcerers can use mecha robots.

Last Days of Lazarus

June 22 on PC

Last Days of Lazarus is a first-person adventure game in which a troubled man in post-Soviet Eastern Europe returns to his childhood home after his mother’s death. There, as the country and reality itself come to fall apart, the protagonist Lazarus finds himself on a quest to learn more about his family’s disturbing past.

Ruggnar

June 23 on PC, Switch

Ruggnar is a 2D platformer that has no enemies whatsoever, other than darkness itself. As the titular dwarven protagonist, you must adventure into ruins and gloomy places, using your limited stock of candles judiciously. Moving carefully, observing your surroundings, and using candles with care (and retrieving them!) are the key to succeed in your journey.
