French indie game studio Guard Crush Games joins us to talk about their 2025 rogue 'em up Absolum which is nominated for Best Indie Game at the Game Awards this week.

We speak to Montréal-based devs Cyrille, Léo and Bo about the studio's history and process, working on beat 'em ups using your own engine, getting nominated for Best Indie along with games like Hades II and Silksong as well as more questions about their work (some from our Discord).

Follow Guard Crush on Twitter (or "X"), Facebook and Steam and get Absolum on PC and Consoles! Play it in co-op to make Cyrille and the team happy :)
