Steam gatekeeps. Itch.io welcomes. The platform hosts 900,000+ creative projects—games, comics, tabletop RPGs, interactive fiction—with zero curation barriers. If you made something, you can sell (or give away) it here.
Name-your-price lets players pay what they can. Game jams produce thousands of experimental entries annually. Charity bundles have raised millions: the Bundle for Ukraine alone generated $6.3 million. This is where indie games live before they're famous.
Horror thrives here—FNAF fangames, psychological experiments, things too weird for mainstream platforms. Visual novels, narrative games, physical TTRPG supplements—if it's creative, Itch.io hosts it.
Free to browse and play at itch.io. Creators set their own terms.
