Welcome back to the NSG Indie Game Roundup, our monthly series featuring indie games news, plus game demo and new release discussions.
2026 is not messing around with the volume of incredible indie games coming our way!! This month’s roundup features a quick look at this month’s Steam Next Fest, with a whole bunch of great demos to check out on Steam. We also dig into the many, many new games we’ve been playing, including LOVE ETERNAL, Cairn, Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, and Demon Tides. This episode also features a very special interview with Neha Patel, the audio designer for the upcoming narrative deckbuilder All Will Rise.

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 February 2026, plus new releases and demos that they played recently, as well as a very special interview with game audio and music designer Neha Patel.
