Screenshot Saturday Mondays: strange and horrible and lovely games
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, we have a lot more of a horror vibe than I expected in February, from cursed websites to Apocalyptic events and even hints of Myst. Brrr! Chilling. Come see!
I'm always interested in mech cockpits, and absolutely I'm interested in the premise of underwater horror first-person shooter B.C. Piezophile (coming to Steam): trying to reach the surface of a flooded post-Apocalyptic (in the Biblical sense) futureworld by fighting through biomes filled with giant beasts, demons, and other oddities. I'm in!

does this game have...
horrific rituals you can perform? ☑️
randomised crafting recipes to find? ☑️
a procedurally generated internet? ☑️
really weird people to meet? ☑️
a different experience every time you play? ☑️
a hell of a lot more? ☑️#gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/1bjymP325m

The bell is broken, maybe you can play a sound to replace it? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gaming pic.twitter.com/JY0I2r8ayt

You can now stylishly glide across the ground while grappling 😎👍#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/r5mGrhL56m

From witch to vampire in a blink! 🧛♀️

Sucking invaders out into space by breaking corridor windows seems a dramatic way to defend your spaceship in Sentry (coming to Steam), but it's effective:
Here's a last little SENTRY clip from me before the next big content dump - this corridor is a blast 😅 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/VtzPprm2Ri

We really like long hallways in Flawless Abbey. 🤔 Did you know? 🪐 If you dream of hallways it means you are a passionate leader and open to growth and new adventures 👀 #indiedev #gameart #gamedev #unreal #UnrealEngine #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #dev #art #indie #game pic.twitter.com/hMnwYz69gi
