Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

Story time:
I had just beat Hollow Knight and was messing with Elden Ring, and the oppressive souls-like atmosphere was getting a little stale, so I went browsing the steam store looking for something more upbeat. Oh what's this? A cute little Zelda clone? Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
No. No it wasn't.
Not only was it another souls-like, deciphering that writing system absolutely consumed me, to the point I had to uninstall the game for a while because I was losing sleep over it.

I'm 99% sure Trunic is based on the Shavian alphabet. Both scripts are phonemic writing systems for English. Both use rotated letters to contrast voiced and unvoiced consonants, but the real clue for me is that both Trunic and Shavian use single letters for rhotic vowels.Oh, but the music is great. And I really one other devs to go further with the "manual as gameplay" concept.
To me, the soulsy-ness of it is mostly skin deep. Yes, the combat can be challenging (mainly the bosses), but there are accessibility options to make it a lot easier.
