Plug In Digital brings a scorching lineup of indie games to the store this summer. As usual, knowing what to pick is always a conundrum. So, we’ve listed some indie gems that you shouldn’t overlook. They’re also the cheapest PC game deals out there so just bag them already!
If you really want that bang for your buck, don’t miss the brand new Rocket Force Bundle!
Plug In Digital Indie Gem #1: A Normal Lost Phone
A Normal Lost Phone kindles your innate voyeurism but then leads to something much larger. While short, it has drawn some strong emotions from game critics.
“There are not many games in this world that I can say actually made me grow as a person, but A Normal Lost Phone is definitely one of those titles.”
4.5 / 5 – Digitally Downloaded“A Normal Lost Phone is thoughtfully designed, leveraging voyeurism, curiosity, responsibility, and compassion to tell a strong, character-driven story unlocked through satisfying puzzle-solving.”
4 / 5 – Gamezebo“This is a game that’ll suck you in to its movements quickly, and hold you there until you reach the end of its tale.”

Plug In Digital Indie Gem #2: Strikers Edge
We remember that we got to play Strikers Edge at Gamescom 2017. Now this “medieval dodgeball with weapons, ancient warriors, and special powers” is pure fun. Above all, it just works. It’s multiplayer but it’s any kind of multiplayer you can think of. Grab it on promo this summer and knock yourself out!
Genre: Indie, Action, Multiplayer, Pixel Graphics, Retro
Price: €14.99 €10.49

Plug In Digital Indie Gem #3: Freaking Meatbags
You may not actually need to buy Freaking Meatbags. If you check your IndieGala library, we had it in one of our past bundles. But the play numbers on this game should be way higher, especially if you’re an indie lover. Freaking Meatbags is a humorous real-time strategy game. You’ve got to build a base, mix meatbag DNA, and then convince those dolts to help you gather resources. It’s as fun as its freaking title suggests.
Genre: Indie, Action, Tower Defense, Real-Time Strategy, Pixel Graphics
Price: €9.99 €1.99

Plug In Digital Indie Gem #4: Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story
Obviously, from the makers of A Normal Lost Phone.
“Another Lost Phone isn’t a sequel. It’s a game that builds on the legacy of its predecessor, using some of the same tricks, but presenting them in a much slicker, much more polished way. The story is still at the core of things, and it’s pushed along by clever logic puzzles that see you delving for scraps of information on the phone that you’ve discovered. It deals with big issues, with dark themes, and with things that other games are too afraid to talk about. And for that alone you should pick it up and give it a go.”

Plug In Digital Indie Gem #5: Splasher
Some people (instead of working) are playing this in the offices of IndieGala right now. So, better just listen to the critics.
“Splasher is a love letter to the twitch platforming genre, and it wears its influences on its sleeves proudly.”
9 / 10 – Destructoid“It has the potential to be the next big thing in platforming – I urge you, if you’re a fan of the genre, then you must give Splasher a try.”
9 / 10 – Gamespew
Genre: Indie, Platformer, Action, Cartoon
Price: €14.99 €8.99
