Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demos and new release discussions.
LudoNarraCon, Six One Indie Showcase, PAX East, oh my! We're beginning to ramp up towards the absolute fugue state that is Summer Game Fest. May brought us several huge gaming new events and showcases, and with those came many new indie game demos and full releases. We're sharing our favorite highlights from some of these events, as well as the demos we've played in the last month. We've also played some fascinating new games including Herald: The Interactive Period Drama, depelote and, of course, we're on the Blue Prince hype train.
