Minimap will premiere the Minimap Indie Game Showcase: Mystery Edition on November 4, 2026, featuring 24 independent games centered on mystery and investigation. The livestream starts at 5:00 PM PST (8:00 PM EST) on Minimap’s YouTube channel.
This is the platform’s second indie showcase. The first, held in February 2026, featured 30 games, and its lineup remains available on the Minimap website.
How voting works and what the top games get
Viewers can vote for up to three games they most want to see succeed through a dedicated voting page. The voting page opens when the livestream begins and stays open for two weeks, through November 18.
The three titles with the most votes will each receive a marketing support package from Minimap. Everyone who votes is also entered into a giveaway for a Steam key for one of the featured games when it releases.
Streamers and content creators are invited to co-stream the showcase on their own channels. A press kit is available to help creators prepare their broadcasts.
According to the publisher, the event is meant to expand the reach of participating games and help independent developers connect with more players. Minimap also runs a weekly podcast, Quest Unplayed, which features indie developers discussing their games and creative process.
