Welcome to the second in a new series of updates designed to help RPGamer cater to the ever-increasing number of indie titles that our staff regrettably does not have the resources to provide full coverage to. The idea of this column is to quickly pass on the word about certain games to our readers that they might otherwise not be made aware of, and we hope both readers and developers find this useful.

This second edition of our indie update column features the following titles: Shadows of Adam, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Cavern of Time, and Rotation Phonology: Break.

Shadows of Adam

Indie studio Something Classic Games revealed that its tribute to classic JRPGs, Shadows of Adam will be released on February 23, 2017. The game will be available on Steam, the Humble Store, and  Green Man Gaming for $14.99 for PC, Mac, and Linux. The game is set in the eponymous village of Adam, whose legendary hero Orazio disppeared ten years prior to the game's events, leaving behind his son and adopted daughter. Shadows of Adam features a turn-based combat system which utilises action point managment.
