14 Indie Games We Can’t Wait To Play In 2023
Darya Noghani - they of co-creatingAviary Attorneyfame - announced Small Saga’s release date with a gorgeously animated trailer showing mouse hero Verm taking on a fearsome-looking cat with a penknife, interspersed with some more snippets of Small Saga’s gameplay.
Said snippets include some overheard exploration as Verm, lighter-casting pyromancer Siobhan, squirrel bard Bruce and scalpel-wielding Gwenllian (who I think is a… rat?) wander the isometric world, dodging gushing pipes in dungeons and traversing what looks to be a vast forest for the small heroes (but is probably, like, a square metre of grass, all things considered).
There’s also a quick look at what appears to be the obligatory RPG fishing minigame, as Verm casts a hook into a 2D pile of trash, with treasure chests buried among shoes, coffee cups and mugs, and what I can only hope is a rhythm game with Bruce and a lute-playing rodent of some kind jamming in front of a Napoleon-like squirrel holding what looks like a vape pen on a throne.

As a fan of cats, Redwall and old JRPGs, this is tickling every part of my interest, so the news thatSmall Saga will launch on November 16this fast becoming the second most exciting RPG release of the year for me after Baldur’s Gate 3.
If you’re somehow looking to fill that wait, Noghani also tweeted out a pretty great list of indie games - many with similar themes and gameplay to Small Saga -that you should check out.
