First, the ones that got few ratings somehow:
- Lost, by ToyMakersCreation
I don't know how this one haven't popped off yet, it's really good. Simple and short, and full on the weirdo side. I really like weirdo games, the experimental front is kinda dominated by us indies and I really appreciate it. - Noise Shift, by arrowmaster1252
More weirdo experimental game. This one is extremely bold, and I love games that go against known wisdom and try to make different stuff work. I can't help but appreciate the work it takes to make the graphics and sound of this game, just give it a try! - Coral Rain, by Michael Grieshofer
This game is huge, like, hours long huge!! It's a full fledged metroidvania, with good art, music, atmosphere and gameplay. You could fool me this is a game being sold on Steam, if I didn't find it here I wouldn't believe you it's a game jam game. I haven't even finished it actually, but metroidvania fans or exploration fans would certainly appreciate this game.
Now, some games that have quite a few ratings already but I wanted to shout them out because I think they're awesome:
- Dream Door, by UselessWizard
I don't know why this one stuck with me to be real, maybe it's the combination of being weirdo + exploration + atmospheric that I like. It's a bit janky otherwise, but I think it hit the right notes it needed to hit, cause it got stuck in my mind. - Hungry Outcast, by LapoLinguini
Narrative heavy game. Short and extremely well polished, congratulations to the creator! The writing is especially good here, the creator achieved a pretty good atmosphere to fit the writing, it's really good, if you haven't played it yet, give it a go! - What My Soul Still Renders, by G. Carbonell
Another writing masterpiece. Play it and behold the cyberpunk dystopia we are getting into in just a couple of years. Simple gameplay loop with trippy graphics and sad vibes, very well polished. Give it a go if you vibe with this kind of story!
Last comment about my overall experience with the games so far: How are you guys so good at writing?
