Hello! I’m Amanda, a lover of stories - doesn’t matter if they’re on the page or my phone, or computer, or television. I want to share my love of independent games and the people who make them here.

I’d love to work at an indie studio, though I’m realizing with the industry climate, my location, and even my age that that goal is probably dwindling by the week. Doesn’t matter. As long as I’m able to play them, I’ll be here, telling the world about them.

Welcome to The Indie Game Cafe! Instead of drinks, I'll serve up cool indie game recommendations. If you're looking for games off the AAA-beaten path, you're in the right spot. (Also, I love coffee shops.)
