Ive been trying some indie developed games this past year, more than ever and I’m in awe what lone devs or small teams can accomplish.

So, what are some games that you think don’t have the recognition they deserve, need a bigger audience or you would like the community to try.

I myself for example have played Monster Sanctuary, which at this point I think is not that hidden anymore and played a rougelike game called Elona, haven’t played RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress but I might in the future.

Sorry if a similar post already exists haven’t checked.

    Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead isn’t really indie, it is straight up Open Source and a freaking good roguelike. The DDA variant focus heavily on the realism aspect of survival, but there are forks that try to gamefy it more.

    There is also Rain World, which I am addicted for 3+ months now. It is also on sale, but before you buy it, know that you are going to die A LOT, but it really isn’t a big issue; it’s actually funny most times lol. Great lore too.

    And one that I’ve rooted for a long time and I think flopped hard in its release is Below, but I very much still love it.

    Also, one that I played for a bit last week and the soundtrack slaps hard is APE OUT.

    How did I forget about Noita? This one is a masterpiece. Crafting a wand just to fucking obliterate yourself out of existence .3 seconds later is just chef’s kiss. Also hämis.
