This indie game news report is from Yavoz.fun, a father and son team making video games together on steam, right now you can play the demo for the game we're working on and Wishlist the game.
More and More Books!
A game from ArtRising about putting books back where they belong. That sounds boring, but the game makes it fun by turning a giant mess into a neat and magical job.
You walk around an arcane library, sort books, and slowly make the place look right again. It turns book-sorting into a relaxing puzzle, and it does it without making things harder than they
need to be. For the right player, that is exactly the kind of game you want.
What makes the game work is the feeling of progress. At first, the library is a total disaster. Books are everywhere. It feels like a cat exploded in a school library. But as you sort more books, you start to get better at the job. You unlock skills that help you move faster and work smarter. That makes the game feel like you are solving a big problem, one shelf at a time.
The best part is that the game knows exactly what it wants to be. It does not try to be huge or flashy. It just wants to be calm, neat, and a little magical. That is a pretty good plan, honestly. Not every game needs space battles or dragons. Sometimes you just want to line up books and feel smart. If you like cozy games, sorting games, or games that make a messy thing feel under control, this one should land well. It is simple, but in a good way. It gives your brain something easy to do, and then it keeps rewarding you for doing it well. That is a solid combo.
It’s nice to see shelves get neater the more I play. There are a over four thousand items, but the game doesn’t rush you. You can take your time and enjoy watching the store slowly become tidy again. The colors look cheerful, and the store feels cozy, and not scary. There aren’t any scary moments or big pressure to beat a clock. You can play at my own pace, which makes the game feel good. If you like quiet games that help you feel organized and calm, this one is a good fit. It’s friendly for folks who want a gentle puzzle game.

Super fun at first but then starts to get old fast.
Pratfall is a co-op game from Quad Head where you and your friends dig down into a cave to save a dog. That is already a pretty good pitch. It sounds silly, but in a good way. The game is built around chaos, teamwork, and the kind of dumb fun that makes people yell at each other while laughing.
What makes it interesting is the way everything can go wrong. You are not just walking around a cave. You are dealing with traps, hazards, weird cave spaces, and gravity, which is usually rude in games like this. The whole thing is like a big “oops” machine, and that is part of the charm. If your friends are bad at staying alive, this game will probably be very funny.
The game also has some useful tools and character stuff, so it is not only a joke. You can dig, move deeper, and try to stay alive long enough to find the dog. That gives the chaos a goal. Without that, it would just be a bunch of friends falling into holes for no reason. With it, the game turns into a messy rescue mission with a clear target.
This game will probably be best with a group of friends who like silly teamwork. It may not be the best pick if you want deep strategy or perfect polish right now. These kinds of games often live or die by how fun the chaos feels.
In the end, Pratfall looks like a loud, goofy, friend-powered cave trip with a dog at the center of it. If that sentence makes you smile, you are probably the target audience. If it makes you nervous, the game may not be for you. But if you want a game where the plan is “go down there and hope for the best,” this one has the right energy.
