GamingFind your new favourite indie game in the Japanese asobu showcase

Never let it be said I don’t write about weird indie games, because I do. Monday was the asobu indie showcase, a delightful stream that highlighted a bunch of cool indie games from Japanese developers, as well as international indie games coming to Japan. It’s a pretty new community that, in its own words, aims to be “the ‘lighthouse’ for indie game creators in Japan”, supporting the indie dev process in that country as well as getting the word about Japanese indies out and about internationally.

It worked on me, right? The stream introduced me to a load of games I hitherto knew nothing about but am now interested in. Whomst among us could not find something to intrigue us in the line-up, which includes a game where you play in-game versions of 80s Japanese PC games, or one where a lone girl lands her airship to explore a mysteriously empty town, or a game about making low-fi music beats in the proximity of a nice cat.
