Engadget's weekly indie game roundup leads with the release of Forever Ago, a road-trip adventure about an older man processing grief after his wife's death. The game is published by Annapurna Interactive and available on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox for PC. It is priced at $20 with a 10 percent launch discount, and it is also included in Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
The roundup also covers several showcases from the past week. The Triple-i Initiative's latest edition announced that Among Us Story: On Guard will arrive on February 17, showed gameplay from The Talos Principle 3, and made playtests and demos available. The Out of Bounds and Convergence showcases also returned, with the game Kick now set for a November 3 release. LudoNarraCon is spotlighting 50 narrative-driven games, and an accompanying Steam sale runs until October 15.
Because there is only one source, there are no independent reports to compare or contrast. The article is a consumer-focused roundup rather than a business analysis, but it shows how indie publishers are using showcases, demos, and subscription bundles to reach players across platforms.
