Indie Game (Video Game)

An indie game is a video game developed independently by individual developers or small teams without the backing of major publishers. These games often focus on creative innovation, unique storytelling, and experimental gameplay, offering diverse experiences outside mainstream titles. Without large budgets and corporate oversight, indie developers rely on passion, community support, and alternative funding methods to bring their ideas to life. Many indie games have gained recognition for their originality, quality, and artistic expression, demonstrating that compelling and engaging experiences can be created outside the traditional AAA game industry.
