Stretchmancer A comedic first-person puzzle adventure built around stretching and squashing the environment. Not labeled a world premiere
The Dungeon Experience A comedy first-person adventure about a mudcrab pursuing “Financial Freedom.” Not labeled a world premiere
Unshine Arcade An action-roguelite stealth shooter and psychological-horror mystery set around an abandoned arcade. Not labeled a world premiere

How the showcase’s games differ

The lineup covered distinct play styles rather than a single kind of indie game. For multiplayer and physics-driven action, it included the cooperative sewer missions of Frog Sqwad, the island battle royale Scramble Knights Royale, the co-op survival of Astromine, and the momentum-focused dungeon combat of Awaysis. Big Hops also foregrounded movement, using a frog’s tongue and climbing to navigate.

What Day of the Devs is

Day of the Devs was founded in 2012 by Double Fine and iam8bit as a nonprofit intended to raise awareness of indie developers and their games, according to Double Fine. The December 2025 edition brought that focus to The Game Awards programming through a digital showcase combining premieres with appearances by other games.
