The best games we saw during the Day of the Devs showcase
Briefly

This year's Day of the Devs showcase, featured as part of the Summer Game Fest 2025, brought together exciting indie titles from well-known developers like Heart Machine and House House. Key highlights included the brilliantly crafted 'Snap and Grab', an action-puzzle game set in a retro aesthetic, and 'Big Walk', which combines walking simulator elements with cooperative multiplayer puzzles. Another notable title is 'Sword of the Sea', focusing on skateboarding elements in an engaging narrative. The showcase continues to celebrate excellence and creativity within the indie gaming community.
Snap and Grab is a slick-looking action puzzle game that mixes Ocean's Eleven with Miami Vice. Set in the hyper neon aesthetic of the '80s, Snap and Grab lets you live out your master thief fantasies.
In Big Walk, House House combines the peacefulness of a walking simulator with the wacky hijinks of multiplayer party games. You and your friends will take a... big walk through the countryside finding and solving puzzles.
Sword of the Sea is from the makers of Abzu and The Pathless. It's a skateboarding exploration narrative game in which you cruise around a desert world doing flips off dunes.
Day of the Devs is a yearly showcase highlighting the newest, quirkiest indie releases, frequently the source of some of my favorite games SGF has to offer.
