Wholesome Direct 2026 - Indie Game Showcase 6.6.2026

Dressmaker looks like a cozy shop-running and design game, not really my type of game, but it looks good.

Fields of Mistra is a Stardew-like, and it looks well done. Goes into 1.0 soon.

These games are coming through fast.

Spirit Crossing looks stylistically like Dungeons of Hinterberg, very beautiful. Wondering how it'll play.

I kinda love the style of Tinkernest, the 3d-then-pixel look is great.

Moonlight Peaks looks like an Animal Crossing thing maybe? A lot of Stardew vibes, I think, but there's something about the art style that doesn't appeal to me particularly.

In the Drift looks great, made by a dev from Sable, already wishlisted.

Cat based cooperative Pokemon Snap?! Wishlisting Dungeon Tourists immediately.

Fourleaf Fields looks very cute, a Stardew where you're tiny. I might consider that for a future stream with friends.

Usagi Shima looks very cute as well, a drawn art style creating an island for bunnies to live on.

Ooh, a barbershop furry game? I really like Beastfolk Barber's pixel art! (Edit: might actually be called Project Salon)

Deer & Boy looks great! A 2D platform puzzler where you have a deer friend!

Ooh, a hand-drawn mystery puzzle game! Patience is a Virtue looks cool as heck.

Momento is a cute Unpacking-style game where you get to make choices about which objects you place, looks very interesting.

I love the retro-style of Petal Runner, I always love when someone chooses retro and sticks to all the limitations that requires.

Planet Zoo 2 looks great from an technical perspective. I haven't played the first one, I know I wouldn't do it justice with decorating everything.

Tales of Seikyu looks beautiful, though I'm not sure what the gameplay is from that trailer. "Turn into animals" is the only thing I really took from it.

Okay, there's the Paralives trailer. It's a collab with Unpacking, which I guess is cool. Didn't really show off the game.

There a Moomin game?! Wait, this sounds like Cook Serve Delicious music! I might have to check that out!

Oh god a montage!

Waterful looks cool, placing rivers and lakes to create an environment for critters

Otterly Lost is cute af, I just wanna be that otter!!!

Walk the Frog looks like a few map-based puzzle games I've played, I'll look into that

Tiny Delivery is "Untitled Robot Game", and I'm here for it.

There were a lot more games I'm gonna check out, but that's it for now! Thanks for putting up with my many posts. 😁
