Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demo and new release discussions.
This has been both the longest and shortest month in existence, but the good news is that we’re back with a bunch of awesome indie games to talk about! This roundup features some brand new releases from the tail end of 2024, along with some indie classics popping in from our backlogs! Plus, we chat briefly about our most anticipated indies of the coming year, and some rad demos that we got to check out! Give your wishlists a pep talk before diving in, because they’re about to grow!
Also, huge thanks to our first Patreon supporters! In addition to other fun perks, members on Patreon get early access to all of the Indie Game Roundup episodes.

No Small Games is an indie game recap and review podcast brought to you by hosts Kate and Emily! They became friends while streaming on Twitch and bonded over their love of indie video games. In each episode of No Small Games, the two will discuss an indie game they both played independently. They’ll compare their experiences: the good, the bad, their most memorable moments of their playthroughs.
In this installment, you’ll hear their roundup of indie game news from January 2025, plus new releases and demos that they played recently.
