About IndieGala
IndieGala is an Italian digital game storefront, publisher and independent development studio based in Rome. Its business combines the sale of PC games and digital bundles with publishing partnerships and an internal game production team. Founded in 2011, the company made its public debut on December 5 with The Indie Gala, a curated pay-what-you-want bundle.
The platform grew from a promotional bundling service into a broader digital storefront offering Steam activation keys, DRM-free software, soundtracks and digital graphic novels. Its bundles bring together games and other digital products, including software and comics. Developer support and charitable fundraising have remained part of this model, alongside community activities such as giveaways, auctions and trades.
Publishing and development
IndieGala expanded into third-party game publishing in 2015 with Blockstorm, developed by GhostShark. Subsequent publishing partnerships included Tyler, Red Rope: Don't Fall Behind, Downward, Gates Of Nowhere and Exit Limbo: Opening. These projects span multiplayer shooters, cooperative puzzle adventures, parkour, virtual reality and side-scrolling action. Its publishing activities support independent developers through distribution, monetization and promotion.
Alongside these external partnerships, IndieGala established an internal production studio focused on 3D action and survival gameplay using Unreal Engine. Its first internally developed title, Stayin' Alive, entered Steam Early Access in late 2017. The team followed it with the first-person survival adventure Die Young in 2019 and the standalone prelude Die Young: Prologue. The company's development work has reached PC and PlayStation platforms.
Its subsequent development slate includes VORAX, an open-world survival horror game set on a Mediterranean island under quarantine. Across its storefront, publishing and development activities, IndieGala combines consumer-facing game distribution with the creation of its own titles. Software engineering, customer operations and creative production are maintained in Rome.
