Hades 2, slot machine horror and other new indie games worth checking out

A packed week for indie games include CloverPit, Baby Steps and a little project called Hades 2.

I had fun with the Baby Steps demo this summer, but after looking forward to this literal walking simulator for a couple of years, I realize that I'm more likely to watch a YouTube video of someone playing it than try to beat it myself. As you channel surf the otherworldly broadcasts and observe the offbeat alien TV personalities doing their thing, you might start to piece together a deeper story that's playing out across the shows and news programs. Consume Me, which is based in part on co-developer Jenny Jiao Hsia's own experiences as a teenager, won the Seamus McNally Grand Prize at this year’s Independent Games Festival.
