Small Collection of Interesting Indies and the Otherwise Obscure

August, 2025

Took three years to write another entry on this site, huh? I won't give a whole spiel as to why I go MIA since I don't want this to be the place for that. Just want somewhere I can write about some cool stuff(tm) I come across.

I sometimes feel like a contrarian being drawn to things that are older or more niche simply due to the fact that they *are* older or niche. It's the part of me wants these lesser known works to have their chance to be in a spotlight, how ever small it may be.

Enjoy the Diner

Studio System: Guardian Angel




A surreal survival horror game that wears its inspirations right on its sleeve. The first thing that immediately gripped me was the look of the game -- highly influenced by killer7 and scratches that itch I have for Boogiepop Phantom's atmosphere and Yume Nikki's abstract visuals. Wish I could properly say much love this style. It's the kind I'd draw inspiration from in the future.




Labyrinth Of The Demon King

OFF




The most well known game of the bunch and the reason why I wanted to write up this entry. I had first played it around late 2021 and loved it... despite not understanding what I experienced. Then the remaster released four years later and eagerly revisted it with its new quality of life changes and soundtrack.
