PAX East 2025 might be in the rearview mirror, but Andy & Steve are back to cover the indie gems you absolutely need to know about!  Sony’s recent State of Play brought us TONS of exciting indie game news: Sword of the Sea is landing #PlayStation Plus this August and Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement finally got its official reveal! Steve tells his demo tale of LUSTRA... and how he somehow managed to unalive an entire village. Meanwhile, Andy somehow manages to discover more PS1-like games with PHASE ZERO, a survival horror that feels like a lost survival horror classic straight out of 1998.
