Try before you buy! All indie games with a demo on the Nintendo eshop.

If you didn’t know already, I’m extremely passionate about indie games. I love that indies usually fill the spots triple A developers and publishers aren’t willing to gamble on. And often, they evolve the genre they’re apart of because indie devs are willing to try something new and different, that triple A’s aren’t.

Therefore, I’m sadden when I hear people say they don’t like indies because they’re boring or the graphics aren’t that good. I feel like if people tried more indie games on the Switch they’d love them!

So I had a search through the Nintendo eshop for all of the indie games that have a free demo. If you’re interested in playing indie games, this is the best way to get your foot in the door!
