Locally Sourced Anthology I: A Space Atlas is an intriguing collection of eight experimental indie games, each offering a unique take on the theme of space. While the anthology may not explore the infinite possibilities that space allows for, it certainly provides a good starting point for a varied gaming experience.
Hailing from Michigan, the Locally Sourced collective has curated this anthology to showcase the creativity and diversity of indie developers. Despite Michigan being a considerable distance from outer space, the collective’s exploration of space-themed games is commendable.
Among the games featured in the anthology, Neputalania stands out for its innovative gameplay mechanics, involving a Dredge-esque inventory tetris with caught fish. Another noteworthy title is Don’t Sing Me The Blues, Please, Sing Me A BRIGHT RED SONG OF LOVE!, which promises a unique RPG experience. The exclamation mark in the title adds a touch of flair to the game’s identity.
Locally Sourced Anthology I: A Space Atlas can be found on the Itch platform, with a Steam release scheduled for July 23rd. The accessibility of the anthology on these platforms allows for a wider audience to experience the creative vision of the indie developers involved.
As I delve into the world of Locally Sourced Anthology I: A Space Atlas, I can’t help but be reminded of my past experiences with gaming. A seemingly unrelated encounter with a peculiar Steam autofill link to a Big Butt Skinner balloon mod raises questions about the mysteries of space and the messages it may hold. Perhaps there is more to explore beyond the confines of our known universe.
