Welcome to our latest indie game roundup. I enjoyed Worming From Home, an ultra-serious remote job simulator where you play a worm hiding from coworkers. Complete spreadsheets, game the stock market, and decorate your office using minigames based on Snake and Breakout. It's on Steam for Windows and Mac, Steam Deck Verified, and $6 until September 18.

New releases include Wardogs from Bulkhead and Team17, a tactical FPS with a "king of the hill" mode for 100 players across three squads. It sold over a million copies and peaked at 340,171 concurrent users on day one. An economic system carries cash between matches. It's $40 in early access on Steam (Windows), coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2028.

Valheim 1.0 launches after five years in early access, now on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 with crossplay for 10 players. The Norse survival hit has sold over 17 million copies. The update adds a Deep North biome, new weapons, armor, creatures, and an animated intro. It's $30 on Steam, Humble, Mac App Store, and Xbox.
