Do you know Steam Remote Play together or Parsec?

Steam Remote Play Together is a feature offered by the Steam gaming platform. It enables players to enjoy local multiplayer games with friends online, even if the game itself doesn't inherently support online multiplayer. With Remote Play Together, one player hosts the game, and others can join in remotely, allowing for a shared gaming experience over the internet. As the previous one, Parsec is a game streaming service that allows users to play video games remotely with others. It enables low-latency, high-quality streaming of games from one device to another, making it possible for friends to join in and play together as if they were in the same room. Also Parsec supports both local and online multiplayer games and provides a versatile solution for gaming sessions across different devices.

But back on River Tails! The characters, Furple and Finn, add a delightful touch to the game. The unexpected alliance between a kitten and a fish brings a unique dynamic to the co-op experience. Embark upstream with these charming allies on a quest to save Furple's family from mortal danger, unraveling an engaging storyline as you progress.

Recently a lot of new Indie Games were uploaded on indiexpo website!

During November there are three interesting crowfounding campaigns started on Kickstarter of games already released on indiexpo!

It already passed Kickstarter, reaching over 12.000 $!

It is a very professional visual novel, with a small team but with amazing skills! We love anime and manga and here the level is very high!

Heart Fragment is a psychological otome game where your choices play an important role not just in the route you're on, but in the game as a whole. 

The result is hundreds of player choices to make, more than 100 CGs, two art styles to choose between, 6 routes, a highly customizable finale where you choose the "true ending", and an estimated total of 40 hours of content!

Make your way through 40+ endings - romantic, platonic, even a mix of the two for "the hope of romance to come". Stay on guard for bad endings... or dive headfirst into them and learn what information they can reveal to further advance the plot!

The second one is River Tails!

We noted and loved this game from the first time that it was uploaded on indiexpo!

The cartoon style is great and the animations are perfect!

Now it is live on Kickstarter and just passed the 50%!

River Tails: Stronger Together is a 3D co-op adventure platformer with a colourful cartoon aesthetic. Teammates must work together to defeat end-of-level bosses and solve puzzles across a range of natural-world environments. River Tails is perfect for all sorts of gaming partnerships: friends, couples, siblings, and even parents with their kids.

The main characters aren’t the most obvious partnership. In fact, these animals are often cast as enemies. Meet myth-busting mates Furple the cat and Finn the fish!

Play either as Furple, the curious and excitable purple kitten, or Finn, the independent fish with a bit of an attitude problem. You’ll embark upstream with these unexpected allies, towards the icy mountain where Furple’s family are in mortal danger. Can you save them in time? To make progress up the river, you’ll need to master just two core actions: jumping and grabbing.

Good luck guys!
