A new site for buying indie games has opened up. Playism gathers some of the best indie games together for you, including La Mulana and Botanicula. While it lasts, they are also having a Playsim grand opening contest.
What is Playism?
According to their site, they are an online distribution platform for digital entertainment products. For buyers, this means they are yet another place to get cheap indie games. For developers, it means you have yet another place to have your new game featured. It is a boom time for any indie developer, with the sheer number of choices you have for distribution.
Getting an Indie T-Shirt from Playism
50 people who buy a title will be getting a special T-shirt with many nice indie games on it. The designs range from Eufloria to Dear Esther and much more. This is a rather neat surprise for those who really love indie games.
The Big Feature of Playism is La Mulana
That is right, fans of this great game can get it here. More than that, they can also get some really great additions. All those who buy La Mulana will have a chance to win a digital download of the La Mulana soundtrack. Even better, Playism is offering a chance for one lucky human being to win something big. They will get a replica of the notebook which Shawn Kosugi carries in the game, with a signature from Narumura.
Check out Playism for yourself
Be sure to check their main site. Their prices vary widely, but few of them are over $10.00 USD. You should easily be able to find something you can enjoy on there, or just try a free-to-play game. Surprisingly they even have Yume Nikki on this particular site. Is it a good thing to see these games move into the mainstream? Probably. We will have to see how Active Gaming Media Co of Japan handles this interesting new site.
