What Is an Indie Game?

An indie game is a video game created by individuals or small teams without the financial support of a large publisher. Indie games often prioritize creative vision, experimental mechanics, and unique art styles over mass-market appeal. Platforms like Steam, itch.io, and the Nintendo eShop have made indie games more accessible than ever.
