Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demos and new release discussions.
Even as the year closes out, 2024 does not slow down with fantastic indie game releases. In this latest roundup, we're recapping our participation in judging the Indie Game Awards, with a quick review of some of our highlights from the nominees. You'll also hear our take on the demo for Aikyam, which has quickly become a most anticipated game of 2025. And as always, we've got lots of new releases to talk about from this past month. From beautiful platformers celebrating classical music, to haunted cabins on conveyor belts, to having to pepper spray assailants while on the clock, December's games were truly a wild ride. Also, huge thanks to our newest Patreon supporters! In addition to other fun perks, members on Patreon get early access to all of the Indie Game Roundup episodes.
