MagyarCheckMag | 3 great story-driven indie PC games
Part of the magic of indie games is that they are mostly developed with complete creative freedom. As a result, you can get innovative gameplay mechanics, crazy genre combinations that somehow turn out to be a lot of fun, and finally, also some very original and unique stories.
Read on to discover three indie games for PC that feature some of the best storylines. Stick to the end to discover the game with the craziest plot out of this list.
1. Celeste
Celeste is a pixel-art platforming game where you play as Madeline, a young woman who decides to climb Celeste Mountain simply to prove to herself that she can. However, this challenge will force her to face her inner demons head-to-head.
What’s wonderful about Celeste is how the narrative gets woven into the gameplay mechanics as the story progresses, allowing you to experience it in a deeper way. Madeline’s journey will quickly become your own. Give this game a chance and experience just how much of a powerful impact it can have on you.
2. A Space for the Unbound
A Space for the Unbound takes you to rural Indonesia in the late 1990s. This story-rich pixel-art adventure sees Atma and Raya, two high-school sweethearts, facing their final days of school as well as what might be the end of the world, due to the appearance of a mysterious supernatural threat.
Dive into this adventure (which is available on Steam), as you also get to appreciate how the game integrates the themes of depression and anxiety into its core plot.
3. OneShot
Now for the craziest story of this list we have OneShot, a puzzle-adventure game in a world that knows that you, the player, exist. Help Niko, a child in a mission to restore this surreal world's long-dead sun.
It's simply fantastic how this game manages to break the fourth wall. It's both wonderful and creepy! This is definitely a game worth giving more than one shot. If you want a good laptop to try all of these games on, consider the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with the Nvidia RTX 4060 on Amazon.
