Game Spark's Weekly Indie Picks: Anchor, Stalker Corpse, Steel Artery

Game Spark published its weekly indie game recommendations for the last week of May 2026, featuring three titles. The lead entry is "Anchor," an underwater survival game set in a 16-square-kilometer ocean world. It supports up to 150 players in multiplayer, who build bases, craft gear, and fight sharks, enemy AI, and other players. A sandbox mode for solo or cooperative play is also planned. The second title is "Stalker no Naka no Shitai tte Ikura?" (How Much Is a Corpse in a Stalker?), a short visual novel by Renka, released May 28. Its store page deliberately avoids suspenseful language, calling itself an "ordinary story." The third game is "Steel Artery: Train City Builder," a colony simulation set on a giant train. Players manage space, resources, and relationships among humans, elves, and orcs, whose fully autonomous AI makes independent decisions about work and living. "Anchor" is scheduled for a 2027 PC release via Steam, with Japanese support. "Steel Artery" launched May 16 on Steam for 1,499 yen, also with Japanese support.
