Indie games are still thriving in 2025, and it’s not just because we love pixel art and existential storylines. It’s because the most creative, emotional, and wildly original titles this year aren’t coming from mega studios with motion capture budgets. They’re coming from small teams and solo devs iin hoodies, quietly building magic in between cups of instant noodles.

Welcome to Episode 2 of Geek Atlas, where the destinations are powered by curiosity, big brains, and occasionally, rocket engines (not so subtle hint towards something else that has a rocket. A purple one, to be exact.)

For fans who want to walk in the footsteps of their favourite characters.

A geek isn’t just someone who wears glasses and quotes Star Trek (though it’s very possible they do both). At its core, being a geek is about knowing things. Not just casually, but obsessively.

Mario Kart is pure adrenaline, absurd chaos, and the kind of friendship-ruining fun we all secretly live for. But when the race gets tight and the finish line’s in sight, it’s the power-ups that separate the casuals from the champions.

Geek culture has long progressed past the stage of fringe. What used to be niche interests, like anime, gaming, collectibles, or cosplay, have become a huge part of mainstream entertainment and internet culture. With comic conventions and massive fan communities online, it’s clear that being a geek is something to be proud of.

Anime and gaming have always been two sides of the same coin, but in Singapore, they blend in a way that shapes pop culture, events, and fan communities. Whether it’s anime-inspired video games, gaming-themed anime, or fans who are equally obsessed with both, the crossover is undeniable. If you’ve ever found yourself binging an anime and then immediately jumping into a game based on it—or vice versa—you’re not alone. Let’s dive into how these two worlds collide in Singapore’s vibrant pop culture scene.

Collecting is a pastime for many, as well as a way to express passion, and even make long-term investments. Collectibles can come in many forms, including rare trading cards, vintage toys, or autographed memorabilia. These items can carry a unique story and even emotional connection. Some collectibles appreciate significantly over time, making them not just sentimental treasures but also valuable assets.
