Mars First Logistics is an open-world physics sim where you design and construct your own Mars rover. Phoenix Springs is a point-and-click mystery adventure, and Cantata, which has just left Steam Early Access, feels like a combination of Command and Conquer and Civilization, a sweeping strategy game with in-depth RTS combat.
But those are just some of the indies at W.A.S.D. x IGN, where developers of unconventional, outside-the-mainstream new games are invited to showcase their work and meet with industry experts and players. The show runs from Friday, September 14 to Sunday, September 16, and you can get tickets right here.
In the meantime, take a look at some of the other greatest upcoming games making their way to you in 2023 and beyond. You can also try some fantastic story games, if you hunger for personal, boundary-pushing personal projects.
