Episode Details

Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demos and new release discussions.
To put it bluntly: we were fools. We somehow convinced ourselves that October would not be as busy, hectic and packed with new indie game releases as September. Boy, were we wrong. We've got indie game demos from several different events to share with you this month, from LudoNarraCon, to Steam Next Fest. Plus an assortment of new releases, including some games that were among our most anticipated titles of 2026!
We are also extremely excited to announce that we are once again partnering with Dark Cocooning on another Weird Days event! This time around, that includes hosting our very first games showcase! The Weird Days: Dark Tales by Warm Light kicks off on November 2 with a 90 minute showcase, featuring 70 indie games that all celebrate the creepy, yet cozy side of indie games, hosted by the two of us! The party doesn't end there, though! The festivities continue on Steam from November 2-9 with special deals, featured programming, developer interviews and more! You can check out the Weird Days: Dark Tales by Warm Light Steam Event Page starting on November 2, and don't forget to catch the showcase on YouTube and Twitch, premiering that day at 2pm Eastern.
Also, huge thanks to our newest Patreon supporters! In addition to other fun perks, members on Patreon get early access to all of the Indie Game Roundup episodes.
