The Indie Dev

The Indie Dev is a mockumentary-style game that shifts between third-person speed-platforming, hack-and-slash combat and exploration and adventure. You collect items, defeat enemies, explore large maps and occasionally pass through a linear hallway used for narrative purposes.

Three styles of play

The game cycles among platforming, fighting and walking through its environments. Combat uses weapons, while exploration takes you across vast maps and platforming sections.

Comedy and story

The game features written, narrated and visual jokes, along with a narrative that draws on familiarity with game development and Norm Macdonald. Its cinematic presentation and minimal HUD are intended to distract from the simplicity of its mechanics.

Length

The game can be completed in under two hours.
