What are your hidden gem indie games that deserve more attention?

[Mia18]

I feel like I've played all the major indie hits from the last few years and I'm craving something truly unique and off the beaten path, a hidden gem indie game with compelling mechanics or an unforgettable narrative that might have flown under the radar due to minimal marketing. I'm open to any genre, but I have a soft spot for immersive sims, thoughtful puzzle games, and anything with a strong atmospheric or artistic identity that isn't just another pixel-art platformer. For fellow indie game enthusiasts, what are your personal hidden gem indie games that you wish more people knew about? I'm looking for those special titles that might not have perfect polish but offer a genuinely novel experience or emotional impact that stuck with you long after the credits rolled.
