Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. Halloween has finally taken hold of the indie MMO universe this week, with several titles launching their spooky events. Speaking of spooky, more indie devs are jumping onto TikTok to share their game with potential players. There’s plenty of other less scary stuff going on as well, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
Aether Story
If you want to enjoy the Halloween event in Aether Story, you have until November 10th to do so. Treat yourself to new quests and two new pets this year.
BitCraft
Last week, BitCraft Twitter gazed at the moon. This week, they get down and dirty in the mud.
