After visiting Gamescom 2026 and playing dozens of brand new indie titles, here are a few that I found worth sharing!
A beautiful pixel-art game with mesmerising atmosphere and visuals. Looks very promising
A social horror adventure in a headless society. looked awesome!
An intiguing and unique genre that merges farming with horror. Intense and peaceful at the same time.
A solo developer love project 30 years in the making.
A fun comedic adventure about the last day in a futuristic society. You get to speak your mind and show your disapproval towards how the society developed. Fun fun fun!
An super fun hidden object game with thousands of self enacted sound effects with cute art.
A sweet game with a cool base building and pve gameplay loop
The most promising game I tried in gamescom 2026. From the creators of Project Winter, a social deduction gem that sends you sleuthing around whitechapel for jack the ripper. Shows promise for creative solo and muliplayer gameplay.
A sci-fi adventure set on the edge of reality.
A cute adolescent adventure with a clever gimmick of music altering the environment.
A modern take on text adventure games with strong horror and corpo elements. Quite clever!

A new entry in one of the best coop game franchise of all time. A definite must-play.

A super cozy cafe management game. A simple title to get lost in for hours.
A fast paced bullet heaven game. Fun gameplay loop and cool paper-esque visuals
A solo dev wonder piece from someone who seeks to immerse themselves in the calmness of snowy mountains. An openworld sandbox of pure calmness.
A high-octane Train drifting game. Crazy gameplay and vibrant visuals. A dopamine overload!
A take on propaganda with cute egg people. Worth trying for the short and sweet adventure!
A celeste-style platformer with cool mechanics and smooth movement. Highly recommend!
If portal was a horror game, this would be it. Puzzles were quite simple, but the atmosphere helped a lot!
