MODERATORS
 

This might be a slightly unusual attempt at a prompt, but might draw some appealing unusual options.

The way it goes: Suggest games, ideally the kind that you believe would have relatively broad appeal. Don't feel bad about downvotes, but do downvote any game that's suggested if you have heard of it before (Perhaps, give some special treatment if it was literally your game of the year). This rule is meant to encourage people to post the indie darlings that took some unusual attention and discovery to be aware of and appreciate.

If possible, link to the Steam pages for the games in question, so that anyone interested can quickly take a look at screenshots and reviews. And, as a general tip, anything with over 1000 steam reviews probably doesn't belong here. While I'd recommend that you only suggest one game per post, at the very most limit it to three.

If I am incorrect about downvotes being inconsequential account-wide, say so and it might be possible to work out a different system.

Clanfolk, a (very alpha and also very playable) game that draws clear inspiration from Rimworld, but has a kind of tech progression that feels spiritually similar to bootstrapping a factory in Factorio, while being set in the Scottish Highlands.

Taipan!

A naval trade game about 1800's China from the Apple II. You won't believe it till it happens but I'll become addicted.

Hidden and Dangerous

Only H&D2 is on steam

The original was fantastic and v2 built on that. Fantastic 3rd person WW2 tactical shooter. Haven't seen anything like it in over 20 years since.

I genuinely have NO clue if this game is known, but i suspect it mostly isn't.

It's Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf! It's kinda like a music video, but it's a music video game 👉😏

It's a collaboration between 2000s indie weirdo darling gamedev cactus and Swedish synthpunk band Fucking Werewolf ASSO.

it's aggressively strange and moderately challenging, but I think it's just a goddamn delight and maybe you will too.
