It's time for the Debug #9 mega thread! Featuring every single game featured within the magazine. Buckle up, it's going to be a lengthy one 🧵 Grab your physical or digital copy here: debu.gg/9

First up, it's the game on our cover; 'to a T' by legendary developer @kt.uvula.jp This six-page feature is written by the wonderful @ignasvieversys.bsky.social

🎵 Adventures of a Cat in Space! 🎵 You won't stop singing the theme tune, and the gameplay will keep you hooked for hours. We're absolutely hooked on @catinspacegame.bsky.social

Next up is our mammoth preview of Silent Games' @empyrealgame.bsky.social "Empyreal, like an onion, is made of layers. And also like an onion, it has the potential to make you cry if you underestimate it."

We had questions about Katanaut from @voidmawgames.bsky.social and developer Eugene Maw was nice enough to answer them for us!

"This turn-based fighter challenges you to outthink your opponent with every move. It’s not about fast reflexes – it’s about precision, prediction, and putting your brainpower to the ultimate test." @megaknockdown.com comes highly recommended!

Trash Goblin from @spiltmilkstudios.bsky.social lets players step into the shoes of a goblin shopkeeper, restoring forgotten treasures to sell in Silver City.

Now this one is something really special. Voxile from @voxraygames.bsky.social is a high quality Minecraft-like which has us seriously excited. Plus we've got a Q&A with developer Wouter Van Oortmerssen.

Up next, @voidsails.bsky.social by Ticking Clock Games. "It’s fair to say the world of Void Sails might not be the ideal place to raise kids, with islands floating in mid-air with no safety nets in sight, but it’s shaping up to be a beautiful game with some classic RPG elements"

With its strategic depth, unique combat, and vibrant world, Hidden Pass is a must-play for fans of tactical RPGs. Developer: @ggstudio.bsky.social

Rose Cottage is a game that stands out, with every detail, from character animations to voice lines, meticulously crafted to create something we’re very much looking to play when the full version arrives. Via: @rosecottagegame.bsky.social

KVLT offers an intense journey for fans of 2000s-era dark shooters and horror! Be sure to check out the developers @evilguineapig.com

Wouldn’t it be boring if every game was the same? Indie gaming has always been the comfortable home for the more original titles, and when a plucky band of developers decided they want to create a game about a Japanese mascot agency ran by an ex-yakuza, who were we to argue? @kaizengameworks.com

In addition to the above juicy preview, we've got a full Q&A with Oli Clarke Smith and Rachel Noy from the Promise Mascot Agency development team!

Let's keep this hype train going 🚂 This one's early days, but the good folks at @cybrlich.bsky.social aim to give everyone a taste of what’s to come this summer, with the full game coming sometime before 2027... Assuming we don’t end up as overworked skeletons under dystopian rule by then
