Hey everyone,

The fine folks at Failbetter Games (creators of a TLG favorite, the richly textured seafaring survival exploration game Sunless Sea) have kicked off “#LoveIndies Week”, an event with the goal of celebrating indie games and their communities, while also highlighting how reviews can be a massive help to developers! Such a lovely initiative on their part!

In the spirit of the celebration, we’d like to officially re-iterate what we don’t mention nearly enough: the Thunder Lotus community is our family. Your trust and support is at the root of our work, and we never take it for granted. Thank you for supporting Thunder Lotus Games – we wouldn’t be able to do what we love without you!


Here are some games we love – How about you?

You might not know how much a simple review or rating can mean to an indie development team. They absolutely do make a huge difference to us: to our morale, visibility and sales.

All this week we’re going to recommend games from other studios that we love, and we hope you’ll take the time to rate, review and recommend indie games that you’ve loved as well. Spread the love on social with the #LoveIndies hashtag too!
