The Six One Indie Showcase kicks off May 21 with a pre‑show at 11:50 a.m. ET followed by a main block that will feature 56 titles across survival horror, roguelikes and niche genres. Organizers promise a “most diverse line‑up” yet, hoping to surface games that slipped past mainstream radar. With Summer Game Fest and Day of the Devs looming, the stream serves as a indie primer.

Supermassive Games returns with Directive 8020, the second season of its Dark Pictures line. Set on a crashed colony ship, five survivors—including pilot Brianna Young, voiced by Lashana Lynch—face a shape‑shifting alien reminiscent of *The Thing*. New “Turning Points” let players rewind decisions to explore alternate outcomes. The title launches now on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for $50.

Alt Shift’s Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes adapts the TV series into a tactical roguelite where you command a fleeing fleet, juggle internal dissent and fend off Cylon pursuit. A demo sits on Steam; the game costs $25, discounted 20 % until May 18. Other indie picks include *The Caribou Trail* ($13, 10 % off), *Mazebound* ($10, 20 % off) and Jonathan Blow’s puzzle anthology *Order of the Sinking Star*.
