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

Alright, let’s dive into the mess, shall we?

So, there’s this place called indie.io, and it’s kinda like a treasure trove for gaming folks. They partner up with all sorts of developers to publish games that are all over the spectrum genre-wise. Picture this: a sale is happening on the Nintendo Switch right now. It’s wrapping up by July 30, but hey, who’s counting days when discounts are staring at you, right?

You’ve got this explosion of genres, everything from cozy cuddly adventures to nitty-gritty tactical RPGs, those wild creature-collecting escapades, and yeah, a whole bunch of management sims too. How do I know all this? I mean, it’s their thing! But let’s eyeball six games that scream, “we’re unique, notice us!”

### Echoes of the Plum Grove

There’s something about generations—like planting a seed and watching it grow into a tree. This game’s got it figured out! You land—no, wash up—on some random island (don’t you just love a dramatic entrance?) and start farming. Build, expand, and maybe insult your neighbors—or join witches for tea. You do you. In this hand-drawn world, friendships and family are everything, but there are mysteries too. Why? Because life, duh!

### Dark Deity

Okay, strategy fans, gather up! Think of the classics but with a modern twist. You get your own army, train them, and there’s this turn-based combat thing that will make you rethink life choices. Characters? Oh, there are 30 of them, and if they get hurt, they stay hurt. Strategy is key, my friend. Loads of chapters and even some DLC action to dig into.

### Coromon

Monsters! Yes, you heard it right. Train them, love them, maybe teach them cool tricks. Over 100 of those little guys await, boasting traits and skills that could tip the scales in battle. Stamina’s your currency here—don’t waste it. Six biomes, a plot full of twists… and gosh, who doesn’t love a secret threat looming?

### Cat Cafe Manager

If the name doesn’t give it away, not sure what will. Running a cafe for cats? Sign me up! Turn an old wreck into a charming spot where locals and their furry feline pals hang out. Decorate, hire folks, befriend villagers—there could even be a mystery hiding somewhere. And no, I’m not just saying that because I adore cats. Possibly.

### 9 Years of Shadows

Swooping into a darker realm, we have this Metroidvania game. Color got sucked out of the world, thanks Talos (for nothing!). You, as Europa, are set to change that with a bear sidekick. Yep, Apino—who knew bears could be cute in games and not just grumpy? Expect grand music and an adventure to kick the colorless blues to the curb.

### Mail Time

Finally, a game that whispers “take it easy.” In a fairy-tale forest, you’re the postman or woman—or whatever fits. Deliver letters with a splash of light platforming but absolutely no stress—no mean timers or scary fall damage nonsense. Just pure snuggle-in-a-blanket kind of gaming. Isn’t that what we all need sometimes?

And, with the clock ticks dangling over this sale, well, grab what you can. Or wait, maybe don’t? Decisions.
