Maki Picks

Indie games worth a look.

Small games on Steam, turned into short videos. Hand-picked, credited to the devs, always.

Latest picks

Every game Maki picked, newest first. Tap through to the Steam page and wishlist the ones you like. It really helps small devs.

For developers

If Maki picks your game, it gets custom-made shorts, edited from your Steam trailer and screenshots. Free.

Not a reposted trailer: every short is cut and paced for vertical video, with its own hook, on-screen text and original music.

  1. 1

    Three custom shorts

    Three new shorts edited from your trailer and screenshots, each in a different style. One a week on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

  2. 2

    Share them anywhere

    Share the shorts on your own pages. Want the video files too, with and without music? Just ask.

  3. 3

    A short report

    After the third week you get the numbers for each video: views and how many people stayed to watch.

What is Maki Picks?

Maki Picks shares small indie games from Steam in short videos: hidden gems, upcoming releases and the strange little experiments in between.

Every short credits the developer and points to the game's Steam page. Connected games and sponsored videos are always clearly labeled.

Named after Maki the cat.
