Three indie games, 'Greedy,' 'SmugForce,' and 'Bon Vivant' invite players to participate in beta testing, each offering unique gameplay experiences.
This week in indie gaming, three titles are extending invitations for players to get early access through beta demos and sign-ups, allowing fans to test out some truly unique concepts. While each game presents a distinct style and setting, they are all eager to get feedback from early participants.
‘Greedy’ Beta Demo Now Available
Leading the pack is Greedy, a co-op horror extraction game developed by indie creators that places players in the paws of raccoons. This game has you delving deep into procedurally generated ancient ruins with friends to snag relics for a mole-driven expedition, offering a mixture of strategy and cooperative gameplay. The trick lies in balancing your team’s objectives with your personal greed—the more you pocket, the slower and noisier you become, which may spell doom for your heist. The beta is now available for players keen to explore this novel concept.
‘SmugForce’ Opens Beta Sign-Ups
Next up is the vibrant and kinetic SmugForce. This game positions itself as a physics-based third-person shooter focused on agile movement and unique combat mechanics. Players navigate the mixed environments of underground raves and derelict skyscrapers in pursuit of defeating the Neon Raver Gang. Incorporating bullet time and customizable weapon loadouts, this title could be particularly appealing to those who appreciate high-octane gameplay. Beta sign-ups are open for players wanting to help shape the eventual release of this colorful shooter.
Step into the 1920s with ‘Bon Vivant: Plan the Perfect Party’
Lastly, Bon Vivant: Plan the Perfect Party is seeking beta testers for a game that dials down the chaos in favor of strategic planning and social maneuvering. Set in the glamourous world of 1920s Paris, players craft one-hour party runs where every detail, from guest list to furniture selection, must be thoughtfully planned to meet their hosting objectives. This title offers a strategic sim experience that may resonate with players interested in period pieces and meticulous planning. The game covers an in-game year’s worth of events, offering plenty of narrative depth to explore. Beta sign-ups are currently underway.
Each of these games shows the breadth of innovation coming out of the indie space, demonstrating diverse mechanics and creative storytelling. Whether you’re interested in stealthy raccoon heists, fast-paced shooter action, or a touch of strategic elegance, this batch of games offers something worth scoping out during their respective beta phases.
