Screenshot Saturday Mondays: animals cute and deadly
Staring at interesting upcoming indie games
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter's #screenshotsaturday tag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by several cute and unexpectedly deadly animals, as well a place which is not a place of honor, a Bitcoin hellscape, and of course more grappling hook ultraviolence.
At first I thought Dan DeEntremont was simply showing off some pretty fur effects but oh, OH NO!

Polish cyberpunk immersive sim Peripeteia is here channelling the concrete thorn fields and "this place is not a place of honor" mood of long-term nuclear waste storage warnings:
Some Attack On Titan-y, superhero-ish, anime-as-heck airborne action in this yet-unnamed game from a solo dev:

A lovely glide through an origami world in Splanc:
A curious mix of styles in Algernon, a game about escaping a coma with the help of an AI implant:
The makers of Askaya: Remnants Of Ajuna document a vital part of the development process: downtime. And what downtime it is!
But is it really Screenshot Saturday without at least one high-speed grappling hook ultraviolence FPS? Here's Hell Glider, where the grappling hook is a noose:
Let's close out on a fun note by looping back to cute animals with an animation bug from racoon stealth game Snaccoon:
What else caught your eye this weekend, reader dear?
