ENDIX Indie Showcase is a free online indie event designed as a game, where viewers explore unique booths created by indie exhibitors, interact with the online community, and discover amazing indie games.
The goal of the event is to provide equal attention to indie developers and publishers - without paying for visibility and without access control. Inclusivity and accessibility are emphasized, supporting gamers from all backgrounds, especially those who cannot travel or attend physical events due to money, physical limitations, or other difficulties.
At the event, we played dozens of indie demos, and here are 5 that caught our eye.
Morkull Ragast's Rage
Morkull Ragast’s Rage is a 2D action platformer that combines exploration, combat, and plenty of meta humor. You play as Morkull, a villain who is fully aware that he is in a video game, constantly communicating with the player and the “developers” who created him. The goal of the game is to help him escape from Ragast and start executing his classic villainous plans for world domination.

The Knightling
The Knightling is an open world action-adventure game where you play as a young knight embarking on a quest to find your missing mentor, the legendary Sir Lionstone. Instead of a classic arsenal of weapons, the main focus of gameplay is on the legendary shield you use for combat, defense, and exploring the world. Throughout your journey, you explore various regions, fight against bandits and monsters, and uncover secrets related to the shield and the history of the entire kingdom.
Liftlands
Liftlands is a medieval fantasy city-builder where you don’t build an empire as an ordinary ruler but as a literal god. Through “hand of god” mechanics, you directly influence the world, raise inhabitants, change the terrain, and use divine powers to develop a civilization and protect it from threats that come at night. The game reminded me a bit of Pocket God that I played long ago on my phone. The game combines classic city-building with survival and strategy elements, while the faith and ritual system gradually transforms you into an ever more powerful deity.
Ballionaire
BALLIONAIRE is a fast-paced physics-driven roguelike that combines strategy and chaotic physics in an attempt to create as much wealth as possible. The game revolves around building your own “pachinko” game where movement and object collisions trigger crazy combinations and chain reactions. During progression, you seek synergies, break the rules of the game, and try to survive increasingly difficult challenges as you climb to the top of Ballionaire.
Box Knight
Box Knight is an action roguelike where the office transforms into a battleground full of monsters and corporate chaos. The player takes on the role of a “hero in cardboard armor” who becomes the protector of the office after working hours and embarks floor-by-floor through the infected departments all the way to the final showdown with the CEO. Each run brings procedurally generated challenges, different builds, and a dynamic combat system that rewards an aggressive and tactical approach to gameplay.
