Indie Game Round Up - December 2022
Indie Game Round Up is BACK in December! After taking a couple months off, we have even more Indie Games to share with you all. Game Infinite was really busy in the past month. I had some IRL stuff going on in September, as well I have been hard at work on some big changes for the platform. Our store is going through a HUGE addition, with more news soon to come. We also transitioned our major Apex Infinite and Game Infinite Instagram merger. Now if you check out our old page is now @gameinfinite_archive If you now search for @gameinfinite on Instagram, Apex Infinite courageously sacrificed itself for our new hub on Instagram! Don't worry Apex fans, we have some exciting stuff planned for you soon and will continue to bring Apex content.

6. The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe | GiPlays
Release Date: Available Now!

Steam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1703340/The_Stanley_Parable_Ultra_Deluxe/
You probably have heard of this one, but since we played it on Gi Plays we wanted to discuss the absolutely FANTASTIC Stanley Parable. In this updated ultra deluxe we get the definitive and latest version of this cult classic. In this portal-like, we see a player exploring a massive abandoned office building. Unlike many games in this genre, it is more than a walking sim as each turn you make, decision you make alters where you end up and the putcome of the story. It is weird, hard to describe, and one of those you want little spoiled so just go play it.
7. Tokyo Stories - GiFriends | Gi Trailer
Release Date: 2023+
Developer: Drecom Co.
Tokyo Stories is a project name with name subject to change. It doesn't have a steam page yet, and we don't know too much yet. But we couldn't not feature it when we just absolutely love the art style, character designs, and over all VIBE from this pixel 3D Pixel Art Sci-fi/Bladerunner-like game. Keep this one on your watch list!

Release Date: Available Now!
Developer: Stubby Games
Publisher: Playstack
Steam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1730590/The_Entropy_Centre/?utm_source=twitter
Whatever you do, DO NOT SLEEP on this game. Entropy Centre rocketed to the top of my to play list as soon as I tried to Steam Nextfest demo. It is a absolutely fantastic portal-like. Players wake up on a long deserted moon base, empowered with a gun that can control time and entropy to rewind objects. It is just incredibly well done and not enough people are talking about it. I'm playing through the story now, and you should too.
