Welcome to our latest roundup of what's going on in the indie game space. Ternox Games claims Sony is blocking a PS5 version of its stock market title STONKS-9800 and delisting previously released titles without explanation. Meanwhile, an experimental developer continues releasing unpolished RPG sketches weekly to gather rapid player feedback. A small team of twelve is also crafting Join Us, a co-op cult survival RPG made without generative AI.

Among recent highlights, Supporting Me From Another World?! blends visual novel storytelling with chaotic driving mechanics. Now, looking at fresh releases, Red Hook Studios has dropped Darkest Dungeon: The Fire's Edge. This expansion brings two heroes from the sequel to the original roster, adding unique abilities, trinkets, districts, and town events for just $7. Base game discounts run until September 1.

For those seeking horror, Atmos Games and publisher 3D Realms offer Twisted Tower. Players navigate a nightmare through an abandoned 1950s theme park in this first-person shooter. Whether you are grabbing the base Darkest Dungeon for $3.74 or exploring these new indie gems, there are plenty of options before Gamescom arrives next week.
