Welcome to the June 11th edition of the indie game round-up newsletter - your ultimate one-stop shop for all things indie.
Please read the previous post all about this, why I’m doing it, and the plan moving forward - including how I am testing daily posts, but they may become weekly in the future, and why the newsletter will be a paid subscription.
As we build up, a few day’s worth of these are available to free subscribers. In the near future, they will only be available via a monthly/annual subscription. The Twitter threads will continue - the main point is to make sure indies get attention, after all - and the ocassional newsletter will be open to free subscribers, but please understand why every day’s may not always be! Eventually, this preamble ramble won’t be here either, so you’ll just have a succint round-up of indies. ❤️

Psychroma has managed to avoid the packed release schedule, being the first time in a month for an indie to not release alongside any other notable indie launches! Developed by Rocket Adrift, the studio behind Raptor Boyfriend: A High School Romance, Psychroma is a psychological, dark narrative-focused sidescroller where you play as a digital drifter, pieceing together the broken memories of a haunted cybernetic house, uncovering the harrowing events of an experiment gone wrong.
Out today on Steam
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Classic II: Dominique's Curse is a brand new DLC campaign, based on the retro gameplay of the Classic Mode, continuing the story of Ritual of the Night with Dominique - who you play as in this DLC - cast into limbo.

The layoffs are expected to affect 100-200+ people.
