Best Indie Games to Play This Week
Car Park Capital
Buy up city blocks, demolish what is in the way, and build multi-level parking facilities around roads and pedestrian access. Advertising can push more residents toward cars, but buses, trains, congestion, public sentiment, and protests all interfere with that demand. The joke lands through the systems: every new parking empire still has traffic, finances, and angry citizens to manage.
PAPERHEAD
Sprint, jump, fire a shotgun, and kick enemies or explosive barrels through a cardboard research facility. Your pencil is both a weapon and a tool for drawing usable objects such as bombs and doors, letting you alter a fight instead of relying only on gunfire. The paper-craft setting turns increasingly grim as you push deeper into the facility.
Japanese Ramen Simulator
Prepare broth, noodles, toppings, dumplings, rice dishes, and drinks, then get each order plated and served before it cools. As the menu expands, one person can struggle to keep every station moving, while a co-op group can split the kitchen into specialized jobs. You can also rearrange the kitchen and dining area to make the next rush easier to handle.
Invokyr
Search a maze-like haunted mansion for the single-use dice needed to advance a cursed board game. Every roll can introduce traps, curses, monsters, or strange new areas, while special dice offer healing, stealth, or ways to interfere at a cost. With up to six players, surviving the house means adapting together when the next roll changes the plan.
Silver Pines
Explore an interconnected American town, solve progression puzzles, and use better tools and weapons to open new routes. Inventory space, ammunition, healing items, and upgrades are limited, so each encounter asks whether a monster is worth fighting or better avoided. Bosses and new areas gradually pull the investigation beyond the search for a missing musician.

Deep Dish Dungeon
Venture into a handcrafted dungeon, gather resources, and work through environmental puzzles without heavy guidance. Back at camp, turn what you found into tools, upgrades, and meals that alter your capabilities before the next expedition. You can make the journey alone or bring up to two friends into the dungeon.
Chained Beasts
Up to four gladiators enter each run physically chained together, so a rush or dodge from one player can reposition the whole team. The chain can trip enemies, but it can also entangle allies while everyone throws objects, grabs temporary weapons, and uses arena hazards. Injuries persist through the run, and treatment can bring side effects before the next route or boss.
DESOLUS
Move between the past and future to see how a fractured Gothic city changes across time. Black holes, large movable portals, and holograms let you reconnect pieces of impossible architecture, opening routes through Escher-like spaces. Each puzzle asks you to rebuild part of the city while reality continues to split around it.
No Such Place
Enter anomalous zones, scavenge valuables and clues, then reach extraction before the timer expires. Standard and supernatural components can be combined into unconventional weapons, while repeated use improves physical and weapon skills. Anything brought home supports safehouse upgrades before the next solo run or four-player expedition.
The Doll Shop
Explore a snowbound Japanese village, enter its homes and shops, and restore uncanny dolls before returning them to their owners. Conversations with villagers and a reunited childhood friend shape relationships and lead toward three endings plus a hidden fourth. The warm hand-drawn presentation gradually gives way to romantic and psychological horror.
