The annual Independent Games Festival has been responsible for highlighting a bunch of each year's best indie games, from critical darlings to student projects. Right now, Steam is partnering with the IGF and indie publisher Crunching Koalas for the IGF Celebration Days, a sale that runs until July 20 and offers discounts on IGF award winners from both this and previous years.

That means you can get Sam Barlow and Half Mermaid's brain-bending cinemaphile puzzler Immortality for 50% off, its lowest price yet. Or you could fill a gap in your library with Barlow's previous award-winner, Her Story, which is currently 90% off. This year's well-liked sci-fi clone saga 1000xResist is 10% off, while a bundle containing all three of Night School's talky adventures—Oxenfree, Oxenfree 2, and Afterparty—is on sale for 60% off. Here are some more highlights of the sale. 

As well as the discounts, the IGF Celebration Days includes a video feed, with developer talks, trailers, and livestreams. Upcoming games from IGF-awarded developers and pubs are being highlighted as well, with demos of games like Sorry We're Closed, Sumerian Six, and Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island available to download.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
