itch.io is a web-based digital distribution platform for independent video games, created by Leaf Corcoran in March 2013. The platform allows developers to upload and sell their games directly to players without any restrictions on content, genre or platform. The site is also a popular hub for game jams and other game development events, and hosts a variety of experimental and unconventional games that might not be available on other storefronts.

Itch.io is known for its user-friendly interface, allowing players to easily browse and search for games by tags, categories, and keywords. The platform operates on a pay-what-you-want model, allowing players to set their own price for games, and offers a generous revenue share to developers, with a minimum of 75% of revenue going to the creators. It has gained a reputation as a supportive and inclusive community, and has been praised for its commitment to showcasing and promoting underrepresented developers and games.
