PAX East Picks Boston Indie Showcase Winners

At PAX East, three indie devs are setting up shop for all to see their work and to try out. You've got the following:

Blinding Silence (PC) – Team Uncertainty – A sound-based puzzle game as viewed through the ears of a blind man.  As a wave of darkness has fallen over the land, and as the light wanes, so too does free will.  Using the power of sound, the player must influence mindless drones in order to progress through obstacles, complete levels and return light to a land of darkness.

Smuggle Truck (PC, Mac, Web, iPhone, iPad) – Owlchemy Labs – Smuggle Truck is an over-the-top physics-based driving game where you smuggle your passengers across the border in the least amount of time. Tilt your truck, catch newborn babies, drive over armadillos, and rocket your way over hills, through caverns and over quicksand to save the people!

Snapshot (PC) – Retro Affect – What if a camera captured more than just an image?  In Snapshot, that’s exactly what Pic's camera does.  It actually absorbs objects into photographs, removing them from existence!  Paste one of your pictures back into the world and see all of your captured objects come tumbling out.  Capture even the most unusual objects: doors, light, even copies of yourself! Travel through five unique worlds, collect beautiful and elusive objects, and overcome the most challenging puzzles.

I'm personally going to keep an eye out for these three and get my hands on the demo if I can! All of you should too and see why these three were chosen to show at PAX East! A big win for the Indie world!
