Welcome back to IndieQuest, a celebration of the indie and obscure! 

Welcome to our yearly indie game award show where we put a spotlight on our favorite indies we enjoyed throughout the year! 

2025 was an excellent year for gaming with tons of variety and incredible experiences. It was one of those years where every time you looked at the new releases there was always something new to try out and fall in love with. 

We have a number of categories that we will run through, each one of us pick our winners and runner ups. We also had a community survey where listeners submitted their own votes for the games of the year. 

After we each talk about our own top 10s, we decide on the show's game of the year collectively and a top 5 for the year. 

Sit back, grab your snacks, and hang out with us for our longest episode ever. 

We hope you have a happy new year! 

Game of the year time, LET'S GOOOO!

On this episode we bring our friend, collector, youtuber, and puzzle game lover TopSpot123!

Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TopSpot123

Fun fact about all of the games brought today - none of the games today have more than 500 steam reviews!

Welcome, Ghouls and Ghosts, to IndieQuest a celebration of the indie and obscure! BOOOoooooo!!! 

It's our annual Halloween episode where we shine a light on some of the spookier indie games hiding in the dark!

On this edition of Spooktacular we are joined by Michelle of the Point and Drink Adventure podcast. Since that show is a little mix of video games and movies we figured it was only appropriate kick of the show by talking about some horror movie suggestions. After that we each bring a game to the Quest Log that will send a chill up your spine!
