For those not in the know, the Indie Showcase is an annual part of Develop: Brighton, where experienced judges select the titles they feel highlight the most exciting indie games currently in development. If these titles weren't on your radar before, they should be. Last year's list contained titles like Ether One and Among the Sleep, while many of those that launched shortly after the showcase went on to receive favourable reviews. With that in mind, here are this year's finalists.GRIP DigitalPC, Xbox OneStranded on a hostile alien planet, the player has to survive in the harsh environment and find a way to send a distress signal back to Earth. Confronted with merciless weather, constant danger and alien technologies, the player must become a true survivor. Find shelter, build tools, map surrounding area, gather resources and most importantly – stay alive.Described as "Robinson Crusoe on Pandora from Avatar", the player explores a strange alien world, with unique fauna and flora and also remains of a mysterious alien civilization that was wiped out from the surface of the planet.The game is supposed to evoke strong emotions of solitude, but also the excitement of discovery and mystery. Developed together by Teotl Studios and Grip Games, The Solus Project aims to be one of the best looking independent games ever made, while offering the depth usually only seen in AAA games.FiddlesticksPCHue is a stark puzzle platformer where you shift the hue of the world, creating rifts when colours collide.In this world, everyone sees in grayscale. Anne, a researcher specialising in colour theory, has created a mysterious ring which grants the ability to perceive and alter colour. After a fracas with her research assistant, she disappears into a coloured void. You play as Hue, Anne’s son, as he discovers fragments of his missing mother’s research and learns to perceive and alter colour for the first time.SassyBot StudioPCFragments of Him is a narrative game played in the first person. The story revolves around a tragic accident, and the life of the victim and his loved ones before and after the incident. The player plays through the events and the locations as if they were the spirit or intellect of the characters, making decisions and starting actions that progress the story. Through this snapshot of their lives we see that when a young man suddenly dies, left behind there will always be Fragments of Him.Tammeka GamesOculus Rift, Xbox One, PS4This high-octane VR arcade sci-fi racer is designed for VR from the ground up, ensuring it turns heads, not stomachs. It's the winner of the Virtual Reality Awards 2014 - "People's Choice - Best VR Game", and is releasing on Steam for Windows in 2015. Non-VR version of the game is releasing on PS4 & Xbox One in late 2015 and for the Sony Morpheus PS4 VR headset in 2016. Having gone hands-on with this myself, I can strongly advice you keep tabs on it.Toxic GamesPC, Oculus Rift, PS4QUBE 2 is the sequel to indie puzzle game Q.U.B.E. You find yourself in a desolate environment with the ability to control different cubes. Different cubes have different properties and you have to learn how to use this to your advantage. The sequel aims to refine the core mechanics of the original and introduce new puzzles as well as a narrative to further expand the Q.U.B.E. Universe. Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus support are also planned.ThisWayUp GamesAndroid or iOSPaperLander is a fragile rocket made out of paper. He lives in PaperGalaxy, a low gravitational world far, far away.But now his Galaxy is in danger. A Space Storm is approaching and threatens to tear it apart. Only one thing can stop the Storm: The Great Anti-Storm Ion Cannon. But it works only with Proto-Stars. And Proto-Stars are scattered in the Galaxy, across its many Sectors. These Sectors are connected by a network of teleporters that activate upon landing.PaperLander's mission is to find and collect those Stars, pass through the Sectors using the teleporters and bring them to the Anti-Storm Ion Cannon in time to save the Galaxy.State of Play GamesPCLumino City is a point-and-click puzzle adventure game set in a world created entirely out of hand-crafted materials. Everything you see on screen was made using paper, cardboard and glue. The process culminated in the building of a 10 foot high model city, using laser cutting plus miniature lights and motors to bring it to life. In the process of making the game State of Play Games worked with architects, artists, model makers and props designers to bring their vision to reality over a three year period.The main character Lumi is catapulted into a epic journey and a hunt for Grandad after his dramatic kidnap at the start of the game. Exploring the unusual dwellings beyond the city gates and finding out more about her intriguing Grandad's life along the way. Is he all he seems?Kalopsia GamesPCPoku is a 3D painted adventure game developed together by Kalopsia Games and Renopy Games and characterized by a 3D painted art style. Though images of the game might present it as a 2D title, Poku is fully 3D, and it's on this 2D-3D contrast that the most interesting puzzles of the game will apparently be based.tinyBuild GamesPC, Xbox OneCo-developed between DoubleDutch Games and tinyBuild Games, SpeedRunners is a multiplayer running game that pits four players against each other - locally and/or online. Run, jump, swing, and use devious pick-ups to knock your opponents off-screen.Failbetter GamesPCLose your mind. Eat your crew. Die. Take the helm of your steamship and set sail for the unknown! Sunless Sea is a game of discovery, loneliness and frequent death, set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London. Our review of the game found it gives you a wonderful world to explore and packs it with memorable written vignettes. Its permadeath flirts with repetitiveness, and combat is disappointing, but it’s far from running out of ways to inspire one more trip back across the Unterzee.

So there you have it. The Develop Conference takes place next month, at which stage the winners will be revealed. As soon as we know who's walked away with it all, we'll let you know.
