Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demo and new release discussions.
We’ve officially made it through 2025, both the longest and shortest year of all time. And we are so grateful to everyone who has listened to No Small Games, come to guest on the show, engaged with us on socials and supported us in any way. Thank you! This episode we have some awards show news to discuss, plus more new releases. The year might be over, but the indie game bangers just keep on coming, and some new releases might just be sneaking their way into our top 10 lists for the year.
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. If you love No Small Games and would like to support us in growing the show, while also unlocking fun, exclusive content, you can check out our Patreon page.

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 December 2025, plus new releases and demos that they played recently.
