The final verdit for 2024 is here: what games made the official Indie Council top 10, and who will win our custom accolades (like The Kool-Aid Man award and May 9th Game of the Year)?

The Council shares their indie canon stories: the first games that got them into indies! Then, we get into what we think should be in every indie gamer's starter pack: the best of the best, the games everyone should consider playing, especially if they're wanting to get up to speed on indie game legacies and influence.

After a flurry of game show nominations and announcements, the Indie Council is now in session to chat about their personal 10/10, 7/10’s — games that’ve captured our hearts, even if they haven’t gotten perfect reviewed scores.

The sweet spiced scent of indies is in the air, let’s talk about our personal favorite season-inspired games from this year people should be playing to get the most out of fall!

Happy Halloween! The Council comes to you during the spookiest day of the year fully prepared. We couldn't possibly appear before you on this day without the most appropriate garb and bearing the most horrifying of tales. So, delight in our costumes as we break Mouthwashing down to its core.

The Indie Council is now in session, and we've got to get our backlogs in order ahead of GOTY discussions! We chat about the games we still need to get through, as well as recommend titles we think you need to play before the year is out!

BOO! The Indie Council is in session and we bring Steam Next Fest tidings your way! With over 2700 demos available to try in just one week (ahh!), we'll help point you in the direction of a few early highlights and frontrunners.

We also chat about releases Neva, Grunn, and Europa, among other indies we've checked out this week!

The full Indie Council is in session! It's time to go over indie news (more Palword speculation as well as a new Devolver announcement), and the council discusses a recent question posted on Twitter: what's YOUR preferred way to request (and distribute) keys?

The Indie Council is now in session! After a few weeks away, the council has reconvened to talk about PAX West highlights, Palworld litigation, and plenty of other industry news that's been keeping us on our toes.

The three Js of the council, left to their own devices, seize this chance to dive into a game they all can't stop playing - Fields of Mistria. Of course, the discussion isn't complete without a nod to the bevy of August 15 releases and the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration.
