The boys are back, and this week we’re talking about all the standout indies you need to know about!  The Dark Queen of Mortholme flips the script by putting you in the role of the final boss, giving the classic fantasy tale a wicked twist, while Quartet channels pure SNES energy with an ensemble-driven RPG adventure. In the Indie News Report, we cover big beats like DUCKSIDE hitting consoles, Hell is Us finally out, and upcoming early access launches for SWAPMEAT and Long Drive North. And yes… the Hollow Knight: Silksong drama continues — with debates over its $20 price tag, difficulty discourse, and even pirates begging others not to pirate it. We close things out with a Wishlist Round-Up full of fresh discoveries like Breaking News, Dancing with Ghosts, and Vitrified. All that, plus tangents, hot takes, and the usual chaos, only on the indieRift Podcast! 0:00: Intro 🔥 Indie Game Adventures:🔥 7:00: The Dark Queen of Mortholme: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3587610/The_Dark_Queen_of_Mortholme/ 12:40: Quartet: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307960/Quartet/  📰 Indie News Report: 📰 16:20: DUCKSIDE Out On Consoles: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2682580/DUCKSIDE 20:20: Hell is Us OUT NOW! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1620730/Hell_is_Us/ 23:20: SWAPMEAT Early Access Release Date, 10/2025: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790700/SWAPMEAT/ 26:16: Long Drive North Early Access Release Date, 11/2025:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3179350/Long_Drive_North_CoOp_RV_Simulator/  Indie Developers Are Worried Silksong's $20 Price Tag:https://www.ign.com/articles/indie-developers-are-worried-silksongs-20-price-tag-will-make-it-harder-to-price-their-games “Criticism Isn’t Hate”:http://ign.com/articles/criticism-isnt-hate-hollow-knight-silksong-sparks-debate-about-difficulty-runbacks-and-the-dreaded-git-gud-comments Pirates Are Urging Others Not To Pirate Silksong:https://www.eurogamer.net/hollow-knight-silksong-is-so-popular-even-pirates-are-urging-others-not-to-pirate-the-game Play Acclaim Showcase Announced:https://www.gematsu.com/event/play-acclaim-september-10-2025  🚧THE WISHLISHT ROUND-UP!: 🚧 1:02:10: Breaking News: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3541940/Breaking_News/ 1:05:10: Dancing with Ghosts: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1352700/Dancing_with_Ghosts/  1:07:28: Football Story: https://store.steampowered.com/app/757550/Football_Story/ 1:08:50: LIFTED: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2184020/LIFTED/ 1:10:50: Plushes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3297800/Plushes/ 1:13:24: Vitrified: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2571610/Vitrified/
