ABOUT THE VAULT

We archive the games the big feeds leave behind.

Pixel Vault India is an independent English-language games desk in Bengaluru, Karnataka. We cover inventive pixel games and overlooked indies with a practical Indian lens: regional pricing, download size, everyday PC performance and whether a game earns your limited free time.

No publisher controls our list. Review access never buys a verdict. If a game is in the vault, someone here played it.

FIELD NOTES / FAQ

Before you ask the archivist.

We look for a distinct idea, a fair value proposition in India and enough craft to make the game worth recommending after the launch-week noise fades.

Prices reflect Steam India when a file is published. Storefront prices and discounts can change, so confirm the final rupee amount before buying.

Yes, but a key never guarantees coverage or influences a score. Please include release timing, platforms, India pricing and a short press kit.

Absolutely. We especially welcome playable builds and stories from small teams across India. Use the contact form and choose “Game submission”.
