It's that time of year again!
Before the stream starts (premiere?) I guess I'm expecting a few release dates on indie games. Maybe something on Omori, something on Eiyuuden. Obviously no Silksong but I am hoping for one or two new announcements. Now let's see what things look like!

Okay, I wasn't expecting them to completely forego Omori on the NA show but include it in the JP version. I guess it is going to release on time, which is good? Also, Oneshot coming to Japan is great for fans of that kind of game. Awesome game that made me cry.
It was a rather lacklustre Indie World in my opinion -- but since I loved it anyway, that means I have no standards. Very interested in the music fighting game that just dropped today so I'll be back after I check it out!!
Thanks for reading this far!
