The Refund Police

I investigate weird indie games, uncover hidden gems, and burn money on suspicious-looking Steam releases so you don’t have to.

Here you’ll find:

• YouTube videos where I squeeze the Steam refund timer into shorter clips
• Occasional streams
• A Weird Indie of the Day highlight
• Jokes, puns, pets, thoughts, and general positivity
• Oh, and apparently giveaways now too

Come hang out. We’re making deeply responsible purchasing decisions around here.

Reminder that we're about 10 days away from someone winning a brand new Switch 2!

I have infinite love for all of you guys and genuinely appreciate all the support.

And if you want to help me out a little consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. I make videos about weird indie games and every sub helps my little hobby channel grow.

No pressure I'm still gonna give away tons of crap if I have no subs.

WEIRD INDIE OF THE DAY #123:

HULL RUPTURE

By Konfa Games (@DespotsGames)

A spaceship management roguelite crossed with tower defense. Build humanity’s revenge machine, repel boarding aliens and keep the engines running with a crew that doubles as fuel.

• Connect production modules to generate resources, repair damage, and power engines
• Expand your hull to funnel aliens through turrets, traps, and barricades
• See where enemies will breach and prepare your defenses before they arrive
• Choose routes through the galaxy for resources, upgrades, and risky encounters
• Experiment with three ships, six modes, and four difficulty levels

I love the idea of tossing my crew mate into the engine for some much needed fuel. I definitely need to try this one out.

Out now on Steam!

@SherafGames just released a killer FPS incremental game about feeding an Eldritch God brains. I'll be dropping a video about it later this week.

BRAINS.
