Frequently Asked Questions – Indie (Latest v2026 Build)

Is the Indie catalog completely free?

Yes. The Indie catalog index on AnkerGames is free to browse, and the license field for this listing is Free. Individual game pages may have their own download options, so check each title's page before you commit.

How do I get Indie on Windows?

There's no separate installer for the catalog itself. Open the Indie page in your Windows browser, browse the 1,046 titles, and then follow the download path on the individual game page you want. Each game page carries its own file size and version details.

Why does the listing show a 0 MB file size?

Because Indie is a catalog index rather than a single downloadable package, there's no one installer weight to report. The 0 MB reading is a structural quirk of the listing; real file sizes live on each individual game page.

Does the Indie catalog work on Windows 10 and 11?

Yes. We tested it in a standard Windows browser on mid-range hardware. The initial page render is quick, the filter panel has a slight delay when opening, and the layout holds up at desktop viewport widths without horizontal overflow.

Can I filter indie games by genre?

Yes. The catalog covers simulation, strategy, RPG, puzzle, action, and adventure, and crossover tagging means a strategy game with puzzle mechanics can show up in both places. The sort menu also lets you reorder results, though feedback on some transitions is thin.
