LogPlayd #3: This Week's Hidden Indie Gems
Welcome to LogPlayd tracking down the best under-the-radar games so you don't have to.
GAME OF THE WEEK
Lootbound
Gear management plays out like Tetris with stat boosts. You're constantly awkwardly rotating your weapons to cram them into a tiny backpack, aiming to line up item borders so adjacent weapons buff each other.
Lootbound is a tactical roguelite with turn-based combat, loot management and D&D elements set in a dark fantasy world. Fight dangerous enemies, collect epic loot, recruit allies and lead them on a path of adventure.

3 HIDDEN GEMS TO WISHLIST
Diseased
Ideal for gamers who like aggressive territory control. Instead of sitting behind thick walls and waiting, you have to constantly push outward into dangerous territory to survive.
Build your camp in the freezing cold and make tough choices. Capture walls to expand your borders and send your men to explore. Risk it all for vital resources, as surviving the relentless waves of the Diseased emerging from the dark will be harder than you think.


Fallgrade
If you enjoy games that constantly warp your sense of perspective, this is a top wishlist. The total lack of colour in the concrete maze makes every shifted angle feel disorienting.
Bend gravity. Twist architecture. Survive the impossible. A first-person exploration game set in an analog concrete nightmare, where reality shifts around you and Karl waits for your next mistake.

over the hill
Think of this as a low-stress, scenic trail session rather than a high-speed racer. The real draw is slow-paced technical driving through mud and rocks while taking in the vintage low-poly style.
Explore the world in the golden age of offroading. Drive iconic 4x4 vehicles from the 60s to 80s by yourself or with friends through challenging trails and beautiful scenery.

Hooked


A survival-fishing game starring a sugar glider attempting to buy back his partner from a greedy merchant. The contrast between high-hazard acid rain and the cosy action of pulling fish out of toxic water gives this a unique narrative hook.
The world is dying, but love lives on.
You are a tiny Sugar Glider in a world that shows no mercy. Corrosive acid rains, lethal radiation, and toxic gasesrising from the depths have turned the land and sea into a death trap.
But you won't give up. Your beloved is locked in a cage, held by a greedy Merchant. To buy her freedom, you must face the relentless elements and fish in the most hostile waters ever known.
Will you brave the deadly abyss to bring her back?
