"Indie games have become a great space for designers to try different things within a game space. Increasingly in recent years video games are challenging what exactly it is that constitutes a game.

Indie Developer Locked Door Puzzle are planning to bring two of their titles to PlayStation Vita. The three-person studio is currently in talks with Sony to create Vita versions of the atmospheric Kairo, and the upcoming Journal.

One such game is recent first-person indie adventure Kairo.
