Indie Video Games Round-Up – September 2025

Summer is officially behind us, and for many of us, that’s a relief – no more baking under the unrelenting sun or pretending a fan counts as air conditioning. Instead, we’re welcoming the crisp, slightly unpredictable days of September… which, conveniently, pairs perfectly with a cosy corner and a stack of indie games.

This month’s indie line-up is packed with variety. There are gorgeous puzzle adventures, high-speed parkour challenges, unhinged story-driven mysteries and more. Whatever your taste, September 2025’s indie releases have something to pull you in. So let’s dive into some.


Hirogami - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

Hirogami – 3rd September

In Hirogami, you play as Hiro, a master of the art of Origami, who has to try and save his home from powerful digital invaders. You’ll have to learn how to fold yourself, solve a huge number of puzzles, and fight off some nasty enemies to succeed. The draw here is partly the cool concept, but also partly the gorgeous paper art-style, which makes the whole game look like it’s been built by hand.


JETRUNNER - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

JETRUNNER – 4th September

Jetrunner is an FPS parkour game, which instantly brings to mind games like Neon White. It’s got a lovely cel-shaded look and describes itself as being “Trackmania meets Titanfall.” That’s going to have a few people salivating, and it could well be for good reason. Expect plenty of high-score chasing alongside the campaign itself, and a challenge mode which we’re sure will be easy…


SHUTEN ORDER - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

SHUTEN ORDER – 5th September

Shuten Order is about the murder of a religious leader preaching about bringing about the apocalypse, and apparently squishes five adventure games into one story. Frankly, it looks unhinged, but in a really good way. Expect lots of puzzles, plenty of dramatic conversations, and some seriously big personalities as well. All you have to do to save the world is deal with God’s Trial, which should be easy enough.


Eat the Rich: Greed Games - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

Eat the Rich: Greed Games – 10th September

It feels like it’s been a little wild since we had our last party game, so let’s bring on Eat the Rich. Your aim in this game is to become a billionaire and try to betray all of your friends in the process. There are mini-games to compete in, votes to help you get rid of your competition, and plenty of silly things to witness. It’s good for between six and ten players, so get some mates involved and you’ll be laughing.


Voyagers of Nera - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

Voyagers of Nera – 16th September

Voyagers of Nera has you and some friends trying to survive a magical sea filled with lost spirits, magic, and deadly monsters. It looks absolutely stunning, as in the water looks like you should hop on in, and alongside all of the swimming you’d expect given the setting, you can also glide, surf, and more.


ENDLESS Legends 2 - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

Endless Legend 2 – 22nd September

Endless Legend 2 is a fantasy strategy game where you get to pick your faction and then try and lead them to victory. The factions are wildly different from one another in not just things like what units they have, but also their stories, philosophies, and more. Your faction will dictate how you’ll want to play and eventually win, and you can even take control of specific units during fights to try and turn the tide. It looks phenomenal.


Out of Time - Indie Games Round-Up September 2025

Out of Time – 25th September

Out of Time is a very hard game to search up because there are films, other games, and all sorts of things with the same name. This one, however, is a co-op roguelike coming to the Epic Games Store that rewards you all for staying near each other (thanks to buffs), has a huge number of different builds to muck around with, and of course, has some time-based stuff to muck around with. Expect a lot of chaotic action and shouting at your friends.
