Sure thing, here we go:

Okay, so there’s this platform, indie.io. Ever heard of it? It’s like, this video game publishing thing where they get games from all kinds of different developers. Some are discounted on Nintendo Switch now—up until July 30, I think. Random note: I once tried to play a game while eating chips and, well, let’s just say the controller didn’t survive. Anyway, moving on.

They’ve got all sorts of games in their sale lineup. Think cozy adventure stuff, some RPGs, creature things, management stuff—you get the drift. If you’re, like, someone who hops between game genres like me eating snacks, this is your sale. Let’s dive into a few of their freakishly diverse games. Also, why is my cat sitting on my keyboard right now?

### Echoes of the Plum Grove

You get 20% off, no joke. It’s a farming sim, but with a twist—you know, different generations unfold and shape your family. You start washed up on an island (sounds oddly like my last beach trip gone wrong) with a tiny piece of land. Befriend neighbors, insult them if you care to, or even team up with a witch coven. Apparently, your choices mold your descendants’ lives. Also, the art’s hand-drawn, giving this warm fuzziness I can’t quite explain. You wander, solve mysteries… get distracted—classic.

### Dark Deity

This one’s 75% off—pretty mad discount. Strategy RPG lovers, this is calling your name. Turn-based battles where soldiers can get pretty messed up if you’re careless. I’ve found my strategy skills only work in theory, not in digital battlefields—don’t judge me. Anyway, there’s a gazillion characters. They suffer permanent stat drops if they fall in battle. Oops. There’s also a DLC on sale adding more chapters—extra goodies if you want them.

### Coromon

Half price, 50% off, for a monster-taming game. We’re talking over 100 monsters, all with different traits and elements. Battles depend on your stamina, so don’t just blast your best moves at the first sight of trouble. Speaking of stamina, I need more coffee. The story spans six biomes, twists and all. So that’s fun while sipping coffee too.

### Cat Cafe Manager

40% off! Yes, it’s about managing a cat cafe. You inherit this falling-apart cafe in some place called Caterwaul Way—not yo’ average neighborhood name, right? Restore it, make it all fancy, then welcome stray cats. There’s hiring, decorating, and building relationships. Human ones too, since people need chill spots. There may even be some mysteries to poke your nose into. Like why I decided to start painting my walls at 3 AM. Who knows.

### 9 Years of Shadows

At 35% off, you get a side-scrolling Metroidvania—whatever that means. Colors vanish for a decade, and you’re this warrior named Europa aiming to fix things by battling a mechanical giant. You even team up with a floating bear (nope, not making that up). Soundtrack’s from known legends of other epic games. But thinking about it makes me wonder why bears are always the unexpected heroes in stories?

### Mail Time

Lastly, Mail Time gives a cozy send-off at 30% off. Cottagecore, anyone? Play as a courier in a whimsical forest delivering letters—simple joys. Customizing your character, gliding around, no rush—just chill times. I’ve got a soft spot for games where you just wander and relax. No timer staring you down. Maybe it’s the millennial in me craving a break.

And that’s the scoop, as messy as my desk after a night of gaming. Catch the sale before it poofs on July 30!
