Indie Hive

Hi, we're Indie Hive! We're a group of busy bees who love Indie Games. We started in 2019 and publish weekly game reviews at indie-hive.com. We're new to BlueSky so would love some suggestions for indie game devs and content creators to follow! #IndieGames #GameReviews

I am struggling to motivate myself today after a sensory onslaught at the gym earlier. So I'm going to forget the housework and dive into Heir of the Dog by @tallstorygames.bsky.social, it looks like so much fun! Keep your eyes peeled for my review later this week! #IndieGames #MondayMotivation

Share a movie that immediately puts you in a good mood! Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered I have fought my way here to the castle, beyond the goblin city, to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great; you have no power over me.

On Remap Radio, we discuss BioWare shutting down, Steam Next Fest demos, Silver Pines, Well Dweller and more! Plus, we’ve got a Penguin Colony spoilercast and a review conversation with Rowan Kaiser about Galactic Racer https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/remap-radio/id1690437343?i=1000797764586

Why have I had a massive influx of review requests for free browser games recently? I might be overthinking it, but I don't really want to click the links in the emails. Also, I'm not generally a fan of browser games because I'm the sort of person who accidentally hits the back button. #GameReviews

On this day last year ... Rachael reviews Sally Face by @portablemoose.com, the unsettling adventures of a boy with a prosthetic face, told over five disturbing episodes. #IndieGames #GameReviews indie-hive.com/sally-face/

With only seven days to go until the release of Heir of the Dog, we can barely hold onto our stovepipe hats 🎩 New to Tall Story Games? Have a nosey at the list below to see if our hilariously British #PointAndClick adventure belongs on your wishlist (which it jolly well does!).

Rachael reviews @rivagethegame.bsky.social by @exnilostudio.bsky.social, an atmospheric sci-fi puzzle game in which the protagonist must discover what happened to her missing crewmates whilst stuck in an endless time loop. #IndieGames #GameReviews indie-hive.com/rivage/

(The) Notebook (2004) - That is one scary portrayal of relationships ... and scary that so many people seemed to think such a toxic situation was romantic!
