Heavy Rain was published by Sony and for that reason, I don't consider it indie.

So Journey, The Unfinished Swan, Rime, etc. are not indie games?

Not in my opinion. I don't consider any game backed by a large publisher to be indie. For me, indie games are games developed by independent studios without the backing of huge publishers.

 

Edit: When I say backed, I mean being financially supported by a publisher. Heavy Rain was backed by Sony.
