Indie developer Alexander Reshetnikov, otherwise known as Emika Games, is famous for his August 2021 Twitter post lamenting how his games were getting refunded on Steam because people were beating them in under two hours. Fortunately, he's back at the grind with Father's Day and From Day to Day, so the setback was momentary.
So I decided to check out his catalog and having played his first three Steam released games Locked Up, Find Yourself, and Summer of '58 on sale, I can give you the inside scoop as to what we are missing out on if he and other indie devs have to abandon their passion because of bad business practices and customers taking advantage of the situation to essentially steal from creators. So check it out and see if these games are just streamer bait or scary good!
