Undershadows Reminds Us What Indies Are All About | indieRIFT Podcast #21

Sunday Apr 06, 2025

Sunday Apr 06, 2025

Is the Switch 2 about to shake up the entire gaming industry? We unpack the recent Switch 2 Direct, where the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally (yes, finally) confirmed for 2025. Enter the Gungeon 2 is real, and a fresh wave of indie sequels and stunners, including Hades 2, Reanimal, and Human Fall Flat 2, are all headed to Nintendo’s new console. 

Speaking of indies we’re excited about, we stumbled across a post on Reddit by the developer of Undershadows, who was looking for feedback of any kind. Intrigued, we just had to give it a shot.

In this week’s Wishlist Round-Up, we drool over Hungry Horrors, a roguelike deckbuilder where a princess uses food — yes, food! — to battle enemies in a quirky, one-of-a-kind adventure, and Tyto, an emotional journey where a brave owlette searches for its family through a dark and mysterious world. Plus, we’ve got this week’s Kickstarter of the Week, where we’re shining a light on Monsterpatch: A Cozy Monster-Collecting RPG!
