A deserted island… a lost man… memories of a fatal crash… a book written by a dying explorer. Dear Esther is the brainchild of Dan Pinchbeck. It was initially released in 2008 as a Half-Life mod, and is now visually re-imagined by Robert Briscoe, previously an Environment Artist on Mirror’s Edge.

A first person puzzle solving game set in a structure made from white cubes. Coloured cubes in the environment can be manipulated by the player using a pair of technologically enhanced gloves. The player is able to pull and push red and yellow cubes, launch themselves using blue cubes and move around green cubes. Using these coloured cubes as tools, the player must complete a series of challenging puzzles.
Truly mind bending and surprising puzzle design aside, what makes Antichamber feel very special to us is that its development chronicles Alex’s development as a game designer. We’ve played the game multiple times over the last few years, at various states of completion, and each time the design and feel of the game shifts, and feels more refined. Kudos to Alex for iterating on his work and incubating it until it’s really ready.
The Swapper is the 6th game to receive Indie Fund backing. It is quite literally a hand crafted game, and clearly a labor of love by its creators, Facepalm Games. Olli, Otto, and Carlo have already a achieved a remarkable level of critical acclaim with their game, garnering awards at IndieCade, Develop Conference, Freeplay, and GameConnection.
Faraway is Steph Thirion’s second game, a beautiful and ethereal iOS game following in the footsteps of his critically acclaimed award winning debut release, Eliss.
Steal from the rich, keep it for yourself! Monaco is a 4-player co-op crime caper inspired by classic French heist movies and set in modern day Monte Carlo.
