I feel like I've played all the major indie darlings and am now craving truly obscure hidden gem indie games, the kind with maybe a few hundred reviews on Steam that offer a unique mechanic or an unforgettable narrative you just don't find in bigger productions. I'm particularly drawn to atmospheric exploration, clever puzzle design, or innovative gameplay loops, and I'm not afraid of rough edges if the core idea is compelling. What are your personal favorites that flew under the radar in the last few years? I'm looking for those experiences where you finish the game and immediately want to tell someone about it, but there's hardly anyone to discuss it with because it's so wonderfully niche.
