Game Spark's Weekly Indie Picks Lead with Co-op Zombie Survival Game Never Be Alone
Game Spark's pick reflects an indie scene where a zombie survival game's headline feature is that co-op scale is bounded by the host machine rather than a fixed player cap.

Game Spark's editorial team selected three indie games for the second week of September. The lead pick is Never Be Alone, a co-op open-world zombie survival game set 10 years after an outbreak, with seamless online co-op for as many players as the host PC can handle. The others are Izakaya Izakoza, a deck-building roguelike, and a dining escape puzzle adventure.
Game Spark's editorial team picked three indie games for the second week of September, and the lead slot went to Never Be Alone. The zombie survival game is set 10 years after an outbreak, and its co-op mode scales to as many players as the host PC can handle. A demo is scheduled for October 19, and the developer says wishlist registrations have passed 185,000.
The other two picks cover different ground: a deck-building roguelike built around izakaya customers and grid-based card battles, and a puzzle adventure about eating your way out of prison. Release dates are set for the first and not yet announced for the others.
