What Indie hidden gems do you recommend? (lemmy.one)

Ive been trying some indie developed games this past year, more than ever and I'm in awe what lone devs or small teams can accomplish.

So, what are some games that you think don't have the recognition they deserve, need a bigger audience or you would like the community to try.

I myself for example have played Monster Sanctuary, which at this point I think is not that hidden anymore and played a rougelike game called Elona, haven't played RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress but I might in the future.

Sorry if a similar post already exists haven't checked.

eastward: topdown-zelda like. gameplay wise, though it's quite easy. the story is charming, with all the quirkiness from earthbound, although the main plot is actually more akin to the last of us 1, for some reason, or at least it kinda felt like that to me. the visuals are absolutely gorgeous, as is the soundtrack.

phoenotopia awakening: an action rpg-metroidvania mishmash, and a surprisingly large one at that. if you're into challenging and backtrack heavy games, this one does the job very well.

crosscode: this one's been mentioned a bunch on this thread, and there's also been a post here about it a day or two ago, but i'll still mention it because it's just that good. another topdown-zelda like, but keep in mind that i've seen it described as a puzzle game masquerading as an rpg, which may be a more apt description.
