The spring 2025 edition of Indie Live Expo happens this weekend, and its organizers had a cute reveal to share ahead of the broadcast.
The expo has a new mascot duo in the form of VTubers Wishlist Addmi-Chan (representing Wishlisting on Steam) and her counterpart advocating good reviews.
Both represent concepts that are critical to the visibility of indie games on Steam, so the choice certainly isn’t random.
You can see their cute illustrations below and hear Wishlist Addmi-Chan narrating the teaser trailer for the event under the gallery.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Indie Live Expo, it’s a biannual celebration of Indie games and developers that has been going on since 2020. It has accrued a cumulative total of 100 million views since.
The previous edition was hosted in December 2024, and you can check out its many reveals and awards.
Among the 100+ games featured in this edition, you’ll see Drecom’s narrative settlement builder Hungry Meem, Mutan’s text-based visual novel mystery Sofia in Exchange for Lies, CampFire Studio and Qooland Games’ primitive-era survival game Soulmask, and many more.
The show will be hosted on Sunday, April 13, starting at 6:00 p.m. JST, 11:00 a.m. CEST, 5:00 a.m. EDT, or 2:00 a.m. PDT, depending on where you live, on YouTube and Twitch.
Of course, you can expect to find coverage of the event here on Simulation Daily when it airs on Sunday morning.
