What names does your mind jump to when asked to pick the titles that shaped our current indie gaming landscape? I suspect Minecraft and Braid will be joined by a few personal favourites for most of you, but in my case the association is strongest with Darwinia: a game so entirely beautiful despite being so daringly lo-fi, that promised amazing new ideas could come from small, left-field teams and rank among a list of the best things you played that year.

Indie Game Impressions – Lylian: Episode One

Now that horror as a genre has got over its brief and bizarre obsession with little poorly-shampooed girls as antagonistic little terrors, we can all get back to feeling concerned for their welfare.

I just stumbled accross Rein on IndieGames and just had to share it. It is a short game, a very short game really. Creator Darius Poyer describes the game thus Rein, to constrain or be guided by constraint, is a game about survival, escape and medical research! (mostly survival).

It reminds me somewhat of the beginning of Half-Life with disaster happening in a research lab, but of course it is an adventure game, no an FPS. There is a lot of atmosphere for such a small game and it auto-saves in each new room allowing you to simply continue from where you were if you die. Great ending too. Download it here.
