OUR FAVOURITES

Indie games we love

Small teams. Big dreams. Boundless creativity.

Gaming’s most innovative and memorable titles often come from indie developers – and the Mac App Store is home to many of them. Here are some of our favourites.

Intimate stories

Love, grief, joy, nostalgia – these games tell powerful, personal stories that resonate deeply.

Eating habits, chores and the tricky beast of self-esteem – can you handle them all?

Stunning art styles

Step inside hand-drawn environments, impressionist paintings and stop-motion worlds.

Something is trapped in the sunken spaceship’s enormous water filter – and Harold’s life is about to get a lot more interesting.

Hilarious hijinks

Work the night shift as a werewolf janitor. Help the residents of an absurd town. Steer a hole that swallows everything!

Our hero may be small, but he leaves a big impact.

Mind-bending puzzlers

These head-scratchers have you fixing broken gadgets, choosing which door to walk through (the wrong one is lethal!) and solving co-op conundrums.

Every puzzle solved in Big Walk is a lesson learned in communication and teamwork.

Mysterious journeys

Full of twists, turns and surprises, these adventures beg you to dive deeper.

If you see an arrow, follow it!

Apple Arcade standouts

From an eerie fishing odyssey to a vast city-building sim, Apple Arcade offers a fantastic array of indies – including these greats you can enjoy on Mac.
