Not sure if these are unique enough, but I thought they all looked neat :)
Hypnospace Outlaw is similar to Broken Reality in terms of aesthetics, but I can't think of anything else on Steam like them in that regard.

Thanks a lot, Omno and Halibut look very interesting.

Oh, my gosh, these all look fantastic! I'd only heard of Untitled Goose Game and Harold Halibut, one through RPS and one through its failed Kickstarter. May I ask where you normally get your gaming news?

Heya, in case you're interested, you can now play a demo for Children of Morta for free (until you defeat the first boss), even though the game's not released yet :) Just tried it and it was AMAZING!

I had no idea Lorelai was so close to release! The Cat Lady is one of my favourite horror games, so consider me hyped.

Ok so I'm just slowly taking my time checking out the games linked in the thread and then I come to this big list and see tons of games that caught my attention. I'm not sure whether to thank you for this awesome list or curse you for it lol. I'm trying to decrease my list not increase it and now I have a bunch of new games I'm following :)
Comment has been collapsed.
lol yeah I know the feeling. I use to do the exact same thing but I haven't done it the past few months. It really is a great list you've made. The second list is great as well, had most of those followed or wishlisted already.
Hope you have a safe trip to your parents and back :)

My absolute favorite lately is Baba Is You. It's the best to watch the trailer to see what it is about :)

Great thread. There's lots of interesting games here that I have never heard of.
Edit: I recently played Leaving Lyndow and realized that Eastshade is made by the same dev.

Also excited for Silence the Pedant! I finished Milestone Two Side:Above just recently and want more of these characters. (I'd prefer the second part of Milestone Two to a prequel, but it's not as though Ritona's backstory isn't worth exploring.

Just Us seems like a fresh take on the survival genre. As a big fan of This War of Mine, I'll be on the lookout for this one. Kudos!

Whoa, some great picks here! Disco Elysium, Sable, Overland, Sigma Theory, Synther, Orphan Age, Industries of Titan, Lost Ember, Night Call, and Mosaic all look fantastic.

Best list so far. I just got lost reading about Disco Elysium. It sounds amazing. I also had several on my wishlist already. You have my style in games where you seem to look for appealing design and aesthetics first and specifics second.
Comment has been collapsed.
For anyone not aware, the makers of The Stillness of the Wind have a free game called Where the Goats Are which seems to be a sort of trial run for the full game.

The only one on my wishlist that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet would be Neo Cab
Neo Cab is an emotional survival game with a strong narrative focus. Play as Lina, one of the last human rideshare drivers in a near-future, AI-driven world. Use the Neo Cab app to navigate the city, choose your passengers, and engage with them to learn their stories - and uncover the truth about your own.
Edit: Actually, maybe Sand is the Soul would fit as well.
An unusual adventure game with combat and RPG elements. Everything you do has a result and the so-called right choice does not always lead to good. Accept the consequences of your decisions and explore, fight, die or go mad in the gloomy post-punk Victorian lore of Crosshill.
Comment has been collapsed.
Super intrigued by Neo Cab and I really dig the art style of Sand is the Soul (and it's a solo dev!).
Comment has been collapsed.
If you're still interested in Neo Cab, you might want to give its demo a try. I just did and it's absolutely fantastic :) Definitely worth the time spent!
Comment has been collapsed.
Just in case you're interested too, the dev just released a demo for the game... err, or at least I've just realized that there's a demo. Basically, you can check the game out for free now :)

Thanks for the info, but I ended up removing this a while ago when I cleaned up my wishlist :p

A couple of these have been mentioned already;
My Friend Pedro - a bizarre side scrolling shooter
Ooblets - cute farming and creature collecting
Praey for the Gods - game play supposedly similar to Shadow of the Colossus. Not sure if it will ever be finished
Wattam - a game by the creator of Katamari Damacy

Been playing through Katamari Damacy Reroll on my Switch, pumped that I now have Wattam to look forward to as well! Also, Ooblets looks too adorable to not play.

And thank you for reminding me about knights and Bikes! I followed the Kickstarter way back when and then plum forgot.
