6 Unique Games in the indie.io Publisher Sale on Nintendo Switch

Alright, let’s just dive into this — and forgive me if I go off on tangents because, well, that’s how my brain works.

So, there’s this platform called indie.io — ever heard of it? It’s like a treasure hunt for gamers. They’re dishing out some pretty sweet deals on Nintendo Switch right now, but hey, it’s only till, uh, end of July? Yeah, July 30. So, if you’re like me and love a good bargain, you might wanna check it out.

First off, they’ve got this farming game, “Echoes of the Plum Grove”. I mean, it’s a cozy farming sim, but you get to pass down your farm to your kids and their kids—kinda makes me think of long family gatherings where everyone’s just a carbon copy of someone else. But here’s the kicker, you can get all gossipy with witches or, plot twist, poison your neighbors. Not that I’d recommend it, but the drama, right? And oh, it’s like stepping into a painting, ‘cause it’s all hand-drawn. Nice touch if you ask me.

Then there’s “Dark Deity”. If you’ve been sitting around, channeling your inner military strategist, this one’s for you. You’re leading an army, and it’s basically like playing chess, but with real stakes ‘cause if your peeps bite the dust, they’re not just getting up. And there’s more of it with extra levels—like when you find out there’s a secret menu at your favorite diner.

Oh, and “Coromon”! It’s like Pokémon’s cooler cousin who’s into indie bands and craft beer. You’re out there catching monsters, and the details get fascinatingly complicated — each critter has quirks, kinda like my Aunt Susan’s cats. Anyway, quests, battles, and more plot twists than a soap opera.

Switching gears a bit, we got “Cat Cafe Manager”. You take this crusty old cafe and, voila, turn it into a cozy hug of a place for stray cats and people. It’s about building, decorating, and then you’re mingling with townsfolk — who might have secrets to spill. Sounds like a small-town sitcom, doesn’t it?

“9 Years of Shadows” gives you this epic quest through a world without color, guided by a cuddly bear? Sure, why not. Music’s a big deal here too, so you might find it as a nice escape or, you know, art.

And wrapping it up, we got “Mail Time”. It’s a vibe. You’re a mail carrier in an enchanted forest, and it’s all about taking things slow. No rush, no deadlines. Just you and the trees and, uh, random critters who may or may not be expecting letters. Gives me that warm blanket kind of chill.

Anyway, there’s a mishmash of worlds and stories, and indie.io’s just tossed ’em into this sale — a bit like rummaging through a bargain bin and striking gold. What’s your pick?
