Given the big swathe of posts about bad behavior from big companies, I figure we could counterbalance that with some positivity about stuff the smaller guys made that often costs us less too.

That game is something else. Music by Pauline Oliveros is half of the game's magic.

Gunpoint. Charming, atmospheric, doesn't outstay its welcome.

Dota.

Ok, I know what you're saying, "But Valve makes Dota2" which, yes, this is true. But the OG game came about from gamers just loving games and making a custom game. I think it's peak "indie" in it's origin. Which went off to spawn several clones (League of Legends, Heroes Of Newerth, Heroes Of The Storm, Smite, Pokemon Unite, Paladins, etc.). Dota2 by far has the most hours played of any game.

I loved a tiny one called The Last Day of June.

It was on PlayStation Plus and it really had a great story.

The Cat Lady and the other games from Harvester Games 👀

Currently it’s Bellwright, among many other titles. what particularly tickles me about it is the shitty ai voices they used for the npcs. I am not pro ai by any means, but nothing makes me happier than hearing “all in a good days of work.” delivered constantly, in the most off-kilter reading imaginable.

Holocure is amazing! I don't even watch Vtubers I just looked at the highest rated games on steam and found it. Within the first 3 weeks I put in 100 hours
