Make it indie! is a survival game where you play as an independent game developer trying to last seven days. The core challenge: manage your mental state while fending off psychological threats that manifest as you work. You'll balance coding, debugging, and basic needs against mounting stress and the abstract horrors that emerge from creative burnout. The game frames indie development as a gauntlet of mental endurance rather than a management sim. Expect resource juggling—sleep, food, sanity—with the twist that your workspace becomes increasingly hostile. It's a dark take on the creative process, leaning into horror aesthetics to represent crunch and isolation. If you've wondered what a week in development hell might feel like without the romance, this delivers that premise in playable form.
