Screenshots Saturday Monday: weird and terrible and adorable games

Every weekend, indie developers show off their current work on Twitter #screenshotsSaturday label. And every Monday, I bring you this collection of snapshots and clips. This week, we have more horror vibes than I expected in February, from cursed sites to Doomsday events and even hints about Myst. um! Creepy. Come see!
I’ve always been interested in mech cockpits and am totally interested in the premise of the BC Piezophile underwater horror first-person shooter (come with steam): attempt to reach the surface of a flooded post-apocalyptic (Biblical) future world by fighting through biomes filled with giant beasts, demons, and other strange creatures . I joined!

I’m really curious about EbiTapes, a hand drawn game where you record audio and make music:
The bell is broken, can you replace it with a different sound? #screenshotsSaturday #indie games #gaming pic.twitter.com/JY0I2r8ayt

I know I post Withersworn (come with steam) often, but it’s hard to resist when it comes to understanding that there are grappling hooks that absolutely need to slide:
Now you can stylishly glide across the ground while grappling 👍#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsSaturday pic.twitter.com/r5mGrhL56m

Roguelikelike witch Bosorka (come with steam(with an existing demo) shows one of Plato’s great poses: hovering in the air for a short time before rushing backwards.
From witch to vampire in a flash! ♀️
No enemy can withstand her cursed bite!#screenshotsSaturday #indie games #gamedev pic.twitter.com/HPXcrMaV3X– Bosorka (@BosorkaGame) February 18, 2023

Suckling invaders out into space by breaking corridor windows seems like an impressive way to protect your spaceship in Sentry (come with steam), but it works:
Here’s my last little SENTRY clip before the next big content render – this hallway is a blast #gamedev #screenshotsSaturday pic.twitter.com/VtzPprm2Ri

More hallway drama, of the architectural genre, comes from Flawless Abbey (come with steam)—Oh, and don’t forget to decide What’s better: funicular combat or elaborate corridor architecture?
We really like the long corridors at Flawless Abbey. 🤔 Did you know? 🪐 If you dream of a hallway, it means you are a passionate leader and open to growth and new adventures #indiedev #gameart #gamedev #unreal #UnrealEngine #indie games #screenshotsSaturday #dev #art #indie #game pic.twitter.com/hMnwYz69gi
