The Epic Games Store has confirmed eight new indie games as exclusives in its PAX West 2019 Showcase, with the already announced Ooblets heading up the list. Ooblets developer Glumberland made headlines earlier this month after announcing that the upcoming life sim would be an Epic exclusive, receiving a torrent of hate mail after revealing the move in an effort to secure the gameās future as development wrapped up.
Hereās the full Pax West indie exclusive list, which also includes William Chyrās long in development first-person puzzler, Manifold Garden:
