Today’s deals are great for players of Indie games! Two of the bundles have those smaller releases as their focus. Beyond those, there is also one for fans of immersive sims and another that explores the concept of being an exile, somehow.
One other interesting thing about this post is that it includes a bundle from Digiphile, which is a company that I hadn’t heard of before this week.
If you’d like to look at other bundle offers, last week I explored a bunch of them, along with some discounts on Evercade carts. Before that, I also discussed various offers for many Steam games, most of which were $2 or less each! I don’t know if those deals are still active as of this posting, but a few might be!
Build Your Own Birthday Favorites Bundle (Fanatical)
Our first bundle for the day is a choose your own bundle of Birthday favorites. The price begins at $3 a game if you buy two at once. However, it goes down to $2.75 each if you buy five or more at a time.
The bundle includes,
- Aquarium Land: Complete Edition
- Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles
- Broken Sword: Episodes 2-5 Quad Pack
- Circle Empires & Circle Empires Rivals Double Pack

- Falconeer, the: Warrior Edition

- indie.io Variety Quintuple Pack
- Journey To The Savage Planet (Sold out)
- Last Soldier of the Ming Dynasty, The
- Madshot
- Mars Survivor: Complete Edition
- NEDRA
- Serial Cleaners
- Shui’s Odyssey
Although there are a lot of games here that are not the highest rated, this bundle offering still has a number of interesting deals!
The most interesting is the quintuple pack that is from Indie.io. When I did research on it, I looked at just one of the included titles, and the historical low of that one game was higher than what we find here. I was pretty excited about that! And even though there are some games that are only about 75% positive, the historical low on some were $10+. So, you can get some really good deals even if you don’t buy a bolded item listed above.
Some of the notable games are,
Best Value: Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, Indie.io Variety Quintuple Pack, Broken Sword: Episodes 2-5 Quad Pack.
Best Rated: Human: Fall Flat, Fight of Steel: Infinity Warrior, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles.

Return of the Immersive Sim (Digiphile)
This immersive sim bundle is a bit unusual to me in that it is from Digiphile, which is a company I am not familiar with. Still, this might be the best bundle of the week! It’s made up of five different tiers containing a variety of games and other items like DLC and soundtracks. With the full price being $20 dollars for everything, it comes out to $2 per item.
The bundle includes,
- Blood West
- Blood West: Dead Man’s Promise
- Ctrl Alt Ego
- Fallen Aces
- Peripeteia
- Shadows of Doubt
- Shadows of Doubt – Digital Artbook
- System Shock
- System Shock Soundtrack
- System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster
I’ll start by saying that this is a great bundle! The number of bolded items is high, so it is a great deal and contains highly-rated items. The only area of concern I have about it is that I expect many people have already bought the System Shock games, so the deal isn’t as great for those who already have those.
Some of the notable games are,
Best Value: Peripeteia, System Shock, and System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster.
Best Rated: Fallen Aces, Ctrl Alt Ego, and System Shock.

Indie.io Indie Game Favorites Bundle Bundle (Humble Bundle)
Here’s another bundle that is great for fans of indie games! It is from Humble Bundle and is made up of three tiers with the highest including 16 items for $16. Unfortunately, a few of these are coupons, so the price per title comes out to $1.23 each.
The games in the full bundle are,
- Airborne Kingdom
- Broken Pieces
- Cat Cafe Manager
- Echoes of the Plum Grove
- Everwarder
- Forgotten Seas
- GI Joe: Wrath of Cobra
- Hauntsville
- Immortal Hunters
- One More Island
- Retreat To Enen
- To The Rescue!
- Troublemaker
Although I am intrigued by this deal, I will admit that it is likely not the best deal for most. The diversity of of titles is cool, but it also means that unless you like a wide variety of genres, few will play all the games they buy from this offer. Additionally, a bunch of these have very low historical lows or are not the most well liked (I’m looking at you, GI Joe). Speaking of which, the same game is available in the first bundle I shared above as well. Make sure not to buy it twice!
Some of the notable games are,
Best Value: Echoes of the Plum Grove, Airborne Kingdom, and Troublemaker.
Best Rated: Troublemaker, Everwarder, and Echoes of the Plum Grove.

Our last bundle for the day is another Build your own Bundle from Fanatical. It has a starting price of $5 per game if you buy three, while the price goes down modestly to $4.50 each if you five or more at once. This one has been a rather popular bundle, so three of the games are no longer available as of this posting.
The titles originally available include,
- Behind Glass: Aquarium Simulator
- Beneath Oresa
- Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age
- DRIFT CE

- New Cycle
- ROBOBEAT (Sold out)
- Supplice
- Until Then (Sold out)

Overall, I think this is a pretty good bundle. Many of the games listed have historical lows between $5 and $7, making them a good financial deal here. Yet, a few have a significantly higher historical lows of $9 or $10. Sadly, ROBOBEAT, Until Then, and Voidwrought are now sold out.
Some of the notable games are,
Best Value: Wildmender, Behind Glass: Aquarium Simulator, INCISION, and Supplice.
Best Rated: Behind Glass: Aquarium Simulator, Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age, and KLETKA.
