Indies Uncovered
Rezzed Digitalis in full swing, so hopefully you’ve already got one eye on the event’s very finewebsite, and you may even have checked out some of the streams and talks. In any case, you can watch them allright here on RPSas they go live!
But what is Rezzed, without a delicious spread of indie games to go with all of that? Our fabulous VidBuds are busy laying out just such a charcuterie board as we speak, filling theRPS YouTube channelwith taster videos for some cool and noteworthy indies. It’s this years digital version ofIndies Uncovered, and one game in the pack I’d particularly like to highlight isLiberated. It’s a sort of stealth action thriller, set in the pages of a comic book.

The story revolves around a kind of dystopian police state of the kind that’s so close to the direction real life is pointed in that it doesn’t really feel like satire. Cameras are constantly scanning citizens to check their movements, and people get awarded points based on how good a citizen they are (didn’t go to the patriotic parade today? That’s a points loss, buddy). The game follows a covert group of rebels/saboteurs, so there’s plenty of sneaking, shooting and chasing from the side-on, 2D perspective of comic panels. It’s cool! And you can catch some time during Q2 this year onSteam.
