  “Indie game” is not a genre…

    Oh come on are you really going to play this game?

    Do you think all “indie films” come from independent filmmakers/tiny studios with no big connections?

    Do you think all “indie rock” only comes from independent bands without studio deals?

      Having connections is not the same as having a major publisher. Something isn’t indie because it’s a genre or just a small group of people.

      It’s people like you who try to muddy that.

  I don’t know about that. I am saying, that I wouldn’t count It Takes Two as an indie title.

    “Indie” is a very nebulous term regardless of the medium. “Indie rock” is a sound now. “Indie movie” is a style/genre now. “Indie game” is definitely a style.

      Yeah, absolutely. Just for me, this feels like a typical AA game. Indie is more like Noita, Mouthwashing or Vampire Survivors. But you are right, there are no definitive borders or anything.
