For players
Discover indie games while they are still being built
Checkpoint Zero helps players find interesting indie games, follow the developers behind them, read dev logs, and leave reviews that help small teams grow.
Find playable projects
Explore released games, early access builds, prototypes, and in-development titles from independent developers.
Follow the build
Read dev logs and updates directly from the people making the game, not only launch announcements.
Leave useful reviews
Ratings and written reviews live together, so developers and players can understand the full recommendation.
Checkpoint Zero
Games are easier to care about when you can see them changing.
Follow the interesting middle
Find a game before everyone else does
Discovery should not begin and end on release day. Follow rough prototypes, promising demos, and growing worlds while the people making them are still sharing the decisions behind the build.
