Hello, i was wondering if there are any good indie games on steam to try out. Can be free or paid, i don't mind if there's no native linux build either (i play stuff with wine/proton anyways lol) and i don't mind the genre. I've been thinking of trying something new as of recent so i thought i might ask it here.

Thanks!

  • Your Spider - I gotta mention this one again because it deserves far more attention than it got.
  • 10 Dead Doves - One of the few games that made me want to play through a second time. Interesting story, some funny moments, emotional moments, good voice acting. I highly recommend this one.
  • The Eternal Castle (remastered) - It's a remake of a game from 1987, but the animation is great and the visual style is really cool.
  • The Upturned - A cartoony horror-comedy game with a great sense of humor.
  • Withering Rooms - The story is interesting and the atmosphere is great.
  • Exanima - Read about the features. This one is more impressive than the screenshots make it look (at least for me).
  • Praey for the Gods - This one is for anyone who's looking for more games like Shadow of the Collossus.

Something tells me you like horrors.

How do you feel about Darkwood. I'm probably about to give it a shot this week.

Oh I forgot about that one. Yeah that's worth playing too. It's been so long since I played that. I think I should play it again soon.

I finally bit the bullet on sale a while back for it as it was cheap and I saw there were a bunch of glowing video essays about it popping up last year when the sequel got announced. A bit trepidatious though as I heard it's both very hard and also the scariest game ever made.
