Big indie slate this week

Pushka Studios’ Grind Survivors launched March 16 on PC (Steam/GOG) and consoles, and Steam storefront data show an introductory price and platform rollout tied to Assemble Entertainment as publisher. ( ) Fallen Tear: The Ascension entered Steam Early Access on March 17 with Winter Crew Studios listed as developer and CMD Studios as publisher, positioning the title as an Early Access Metroidvania hybrid. (store.steampowered.com) Everwind’s Early Access window also opened around March 17; the Steam listing credits Enjoy Studio S.A. and bills the game as a co‑op sandbox survival on floating islands. ( ) Bonte Avond’s Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime hit PC and Nintendo Switch around March 16 with publisher offbrand Games attached, while arcade-leaning Deadline Delivery from GOOD1 Studios pushed a mid‑March PC launch and storefront discount on release. ( ) RUBATO’s indie collect‑a‑thon lists a March 20 PC release and notes Headcannon handling console ports, while Lost Wiki: Kozlovka — a solo London developer project — is slated to launch on Steam March 20 at $4.99 with a 10% launch discount and a demo already available. ( ) The Scritchy/Scratchy demo shows very positive reception on Steam — recent review aggregates put the demo at roughly 92% positive across the last 30 days — and the developers have been pushing mobile pre‑registration alongside the Steam demo. ( ) Trifolium’s public demo continues to draw testers: Steam shows the demo with a 91% positive user review split (about 45 reviews), and SteamDB records an all‑time peak of 11 concurrent players during its demo window. ( ) Narrative and review momentum landed on two other standouts this week: Reflections of the void released March 13 from Echo Story Games and has seen press praise and iterative demo updates on itch.io, and Minishoot’ Adventures maintains a strong critical profile (Metacritic/OpenCritic scores in the high‑80s) with recent console ports and positive Switch 2 coverage.
