IGDX 2025 Featured Indie Games: Mirth Island + Bento Story

October 19, 2025 | Kenzie

Following VirtualSEA’s coverage of Indonesia Game Developer Exchange (IGDX) 2025, we’re putting the spotlight on 5 games that stood out to represent the skill and diversity in Indonesia’s game development industry.


Clay Game Studio is an award-winning game development studio based in Malang, Indonesia. For IGDX 2025, the accomplished game studio brought a double feature to the exhibition floor.

First up is Mirth Island, an adventure rhythm game in the same universe as the demo-length delight, Mirth Melody. The game is stacked with adorable characters, charming musical numbers, and a story centered on the power of community and friendship.

Next up is their newest game, Bento Story, is a sandbox experience that puts you in the shoes of a bento content creator – you’ve probably gotten them on your reels algorithm! While you put together your delicious, delightful creations, the narrative features a wholesome story about meteoric online rise of your lunchbox portraits.

You can learn more about Mirth Island and Bento Story from their Steam pages, and Clay Game Studio from their website and X page.
