We asked Toby Fox for some indie game recommendations—and he did not disappoint

It’s not every day you get to talk to someone as well-known and liked in the indie scene like Toby Fox, but thanks to some wizardry and a sprinkle of luck, we asked Toby a couple of questions recently ahead of the release of Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 on June 5.

Toby was to the point with his answers, especially in one area where we were keen to find out more information on, with that, of course, being indie games. More importantly, some indie games that were recently released or are coming out soon, that he is playing or looking forward to, and he did not disappoint.

But instead of keeping some of those suggestions to ourselves, we thought we would share with you his shout-outs and decisions, so you can go out there and try them for yourselves to see if they match your tastes!

So, without further ado, let us begin.

ENA: Dream BBQ

ENA: Dream BBQ was the first game Toby bought up, and it was one I hadn’t heard of until then. It’s an episodic adventure game that follows a humanoid exploring various environments while interacting with other characters to complete tasks and solve mazes, all to reach this mysterious Boss character that centers around the narrative.

Balatro

Balatro was the next one, which was no surprise considering how popular the roguelike card game has become over the past year. It’s a game that needs to be played to be understood, so give it a go if you haven’t already. It’s also on Xbox Game Pass!

UFO50

The third big shoutout surprised us when Toby mentioned UFO50, a collection of 50 single and multiplayer games that span a variety of genres. There’s something for everyone on it, for sure, and is great for on-the-go micro games when you want to pick up and play something for a small amount of time.

Soul of Soverignity

And lastly, Toby felt like he had to mention the visual novel Soul of Sovereignity, made by one of his friends. He was a bit coy, though, only mentioning that he “can’t wait to see how the story will continue…” before ominously slipping back into the shadows. What aren’t you telling us, Toby!?

The game is currently in development and is a linear (no choices) adventure that is intended for a mature audience with stunning visuals. One to check out!

Thanks, Toby, for your time and recommendations! And we look forward to seeing the next Deltarune chapters in June!
