"Titanium Court is already nominated for four awards at this year's Independent Games festival and is picking up a lot of interest for its surreal humour and stylised pixel art visuals. It's kind of a strategy match-three puzzler, in which you need to move tiles around to protect your castle from rival armies. Water tiles cannot be crossed by enemy soldiers, while hills slow them down."
"You play as a keen amateur photographer whose best friend, Eli, is convinced that his family is being haunted and the evidence is on their photos and home videos. Via a piece of software named SpectralAware you must study the images, tweaking the exposure and contrast and examining negatives to find any apparitions lurking in the background. It's genuinely tense and unsettling, reminding me of cult Australian horror flick Lake Mungo."
Steam Next Fest provides a week-long showcase of upcoming indie games with downloadable demos, offering an opportunity to explore beyond the saturated co-op extraction shooter and roguelike deck-builder genres. Titanium Court combines strategy, match-three puzzle mechanics, and pixel art in a unique mashup where players manipulate tiles to defend castles while gathering resources and commanding troops. Shutter Story delivers horror through photography analysis, requiring players to examine images and videos for supernatural apparitions using editing tools. Both titles demonstrate the creative diversity available in indie gaming, with Titanium Court earning multiple Independent Games Festival nominations and Shutter Story providing genuinely unsettling gameplay reminiscent of cult horror films.
