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.

    The Return of the Obra Dinn is one of my favourite games. It’s an indie game but quite well known so I’m not sure if it counts as a hidden gem.

    I really liked The Case of the Golden Idol too, and its DLC.

    You can see I like detective games haha…

      Return of the Obra Dinn was such a crazy experience. I remember my first playthrough I got super stumped and resorted to walkthrough’ing my way through. But when I replayed it I promised myself not to use the walkthrough and ended up getting it almost completely perfect, although it did take ages to do.

      Case of the Golden Idol is so good! DLC coming soon, too, I think! Can’t wait to revisit that game.

      Obra Dinn is one that I full on wish I could invoke selective amnesia so I could experience it again with fresh eyes.

      If you haven’t tried it already, some other good detective games are Pentiment and Disco Elysium. My fiancee and I love playing detective games cooperatively, always on the hunt for a new one.
