Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demos and new release discussions.
2026 is not messing around with the volume of incredible indie games coming our way!! This month's roundup features a quick look at this month's Steam Next Fest, with a whole bunch of great demos to check out on Steam. We also dig into the many, many new games we've been playing, including LOVE ETERNAL, Cairn, Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, and Demon Tides. This episode also features a very special interview with Neha Patel, the audio designer for the upcoming narrative deckbuilder All Will Rise.
