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.

  • Ring of Pain is a great roguelike.
  • Paradise Killer - Not actually sure how to describe Paradise Killer, but it’s one of my favourite games.
  • The Red Strings Club - Interesting, short and sweet
  • Stephen’s Sausage Roll - If you love puzzle games and can’t find any that are hard enough for you, it might be the best game ever made. Or the most infuriating.

And then a few that maybe aren’t that obscure by now, but I can’t not mention them

  • A Short Hike - I think possibly the greatest small indie game of all time? Certainly one of my favourites.
  • Baba Is You - (slightly) less extreme puzzle game, but it’s also great.
  • Inscryption - Just a great game, can’t say much about it without spoiling the experience

did you finish Ring of Pain? Because I’ve come to believe it’s impossible… You have to be realistic abolt these things

Yeah, I did both endings on all the difficulties, at least with the default starting item.

Also it’s surprisingly rare that someone actually recognizes my username, this is the first time in a while (Assuming your choice of words was not just coincidence)

As far as I could tell, the only way to succeed was by getting a specific set of items, which gave you a chance at freezing enemies… A crown, a smoke something and I don’t remember the last one. Feel free to give me a hint if you care to, I liked that game a lot and I would love to complete it

And yes, I recognize your user name! The owl ate the lamb after all ;)
