44 games in the released part, 36 games in the future part. Last months participation wasnt the hottest, probably due to the all-overshadowing Next Gen console launch. Hopefully we are back to form in december with more impressions and more voters!
We will also have a vote on the best games of the month in the last week of the thread. The results for june can be seen below. For some first time readers that wonder about my definition of "recent": We didnt have any major Indie thread in 2012 on GAF, so we are also catching all the titles that slipped through our net last year.
Addtionally, there will be an end of the year voting starting mid-december. Check back in the thread if you are interested.
Anyway, have fun with the games from this month!

Hey! I assume you are new in this thread series and want to see what we were up to? Or you didnt have enough time to play through all of the games from the last month but still want to catch up with the best ones? Then this list is for YOU! These were the games we enjoyed the most in the previous thread, voted on by the community (More thorough descriptions and impressions in the previous thread, especially the last few pages with the voting):

I noticed there are a few noteworthy, and relatively unknown, projects that deserve a shoutout here because I feel that they share a common interest with the people in this thread. I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.
This is a monthly podcast series that presents notable Indie Game soundtracks. A likeable host and guests, a fantastic track selection, interesting discussions and a focus for Indies will make this one a mainstay in my monthly threads.

The Stanley Parable (7 votes) - Free Demo/ $14,99 (PC)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/221910/
It's officially a "first person exploration" game developed by Galactic Cafe with brilliant narration by Kevin Brighting. I would describe it as a narrative experiment. Not everyone will enjoy this game -- in particular, logical and emotional types. It's a suitably meta experience that parodies many video game tropes and for the sheer quality definitely deserves this spot.

Beyond Perception (4 votes) - Free Prototype Demo (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://www.indiedb.com/games/beyond-perception
First Person Puzzle where you're in an art gallery and can explore inside the paints and solve mainly based perspective puzzles. Paying attention to the pictures before going inside them is useful because they have some tips in how to solve the puzzles.

Cave! Cave! Deus Videt (4 votes) - Free Prototype (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://cargocollective.com/wearemuesli/CAVE-CAVE-DEUS-VIDET
It's a visual novel and a very unique one. It deals with Bosch's Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony and .. that's all I can say about it.

Fakteur (3 votes) - Free (PC)
http://fakteur.com/wordpress/en/
Charming artstyle, interesting NPC's with good backstories and the ability to change the fate of their lives. Game of The Month and likely to be in my list of best of the year.

Paradis Perdus (3 Votes) - Free Alpha (PC, Mac, Linux)
http://sergeymohov.com/paradis-perdus/
Exploration game à la Dear Esther with a frightening twist and a trippy Darwinia-like aesthetic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paradise (3 Votes) - Free (PC, Browser)
http://wiki.xxiivv.com/Paradise
Create Cat. Enter Cat. Create Pizza. Exit Cat.
