I'm going through this whole thread again, finally made it to page 3. Many interesting games.
I'm not sure if we just have similar tastes or something but some of these I've already wishlisted (Boyfriend Dungeon, Summer In Mara, The Last Campfire, Moving Out), and you've just introduced me to Little Misfortune, Re:Legend, and Omno.
Added those three, thanks!

Since no-one else has mentioned it yet:
Indivisible- It's being made by Lab Zero, the guys that made Skullgirls, so that guarantees a lot of care is being put into it. People seem to be comparing it to Valkyrie Profile (I haven't played Valkyrie Profile so I can't confirm or deny any similarities). Here's some demo gameplay. :)

Adding 2 more amazing games :)
1. Neo Cab
Stay human in a world overcome by automation. Play as Lina, one of the last human driver-for-hire on the streets of Los Ojos. Your friend and only lifeline has gone missing; with no money and nowhere to stay, the only thing you can do is keep driving. Choose what passengers to pick up and how you engage with them to learn their stories.
I've just played its demo and wow! Mind blowing stuff! :)
Really like how it delves into the feels (emotion) and explores the importance of being/staying human in a futuristic world almost completely taken over by technology. Really makes you think about what's going to happen to our world considering how much more reliant people are becoming to tech. It's a bit like a visual novel though so expect lots of dialogues and lots of reading! Hopefully, they will add in some quality voice acting before they release the game.
Give it a shot if you've got the time: https://store.steampowered.com/app/794540/Neo_Cab/ :)
If not, here's a gameplay vid for the demo.
2. In Other Waters - nice pun btw :)
In Other Waters casts you as an AI operator, guiding a stranded xenobiologist as they explore and study a beautiful and strange alien ocean.
Besides the unique concept, I absolutely love how this game is so easy-to-grasp and intuitive. Despite the lack of a tutorial, I've managed to figure out how most things work within minutes. There are also lots of stuff for you to discover on the alien planet as you play and it's story-driven too - you'll eventually learn more about the xenobiologist that you're guiding.
You can try demo as well if you got the time: https://store.steampowered.com/app/890720/In_Other_Waters/

Afterlight is a puzzle-adventure game with environmental narrative in 2.5D. You play as Xin, an astronaut trapped on a mission on Titan. After an accident, in which the rest of the crew does not survive, will be forced to solve the mission in solitary discovering in the process disturbing events that will question their perception of reality.
At first I thought that this is a new game by the developers, Playdead or Tarsier Studios. But nope! Though the devs do say it's inspired by Journey and Inside, and yeah, can definitely see those influences with the pretty colors Journey has and the 2.D linear, with a side-view point Inside possesses.
I'm already really interested in this. The graphics and the way the character moves is already a 👍🏻from me. I read their Kickstarter page too and it's really well presented with images & information. Here's some gifs they posted:
Anyone else looking forward to this? Or how do you feel/think about games like with this style, etc?

Gladiabots
I saw the announcement that Gladiabots has been released and is now out of early access.
It seems to be an AI-based arena combat that has single player modes, cross-platform asynchronous multiplayer, and tournaments.
As someone who likes doing a little programming but doesn't want to do it for a living, I'm hooked and downloaded the Android game! I assume it and the PC version are comparable since they're both made in Unity, presumably just with different controls/interfaces.

Adding a few more amazing ones - got all of these from the Epic Games Store but some of the games have Steam links :P
No demos this time around but you can check out The Cycle's Playtest on the Epic Store for free this weekend :)

Out of cash, out of luck, out on the fringe. Juno Markev has a killer to tail, a debt to pay, and more trouble headed her way. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw takes place in a greasy, blue-collar world of outlaws, truckers, cops and thieves.
Strap into a variety of spacecraft, settle a score in a filthy space-bar over a game of 8-ball, rock out to over 24 hours of music, and engage in white-knuckle dogfights. In the Dodge Sector it’s hard to get by – and even harder to get even.
Although the games aren't out yet, I can already feel a massive hole burning in my pocket right now >.<

I have a HUGE list because I have awfully unspecific tastes, get insecure in relying on my wishlist as a filter for giveaways, and spend way too much time browsing the steam store--but I'll try only list the most unique ones and the ones that haven't already been mentioned here (which is a lot!).
LUNA The Shadow Dust is a fully hand-animated Point & Click puzzle adventure, brought to life through wordless storytelling, beautiful cinematics and a breathtaking original soundtrack. Inspired by the adventure games of old, LUNA The Shadow Dust is a moving tale of two playable companions drawn together.
I think a lot of the SG forum people would really like this one. :) The aesthetic and warm color palette sorta reminds me of the beautiful La Maison en Petits Cubes short film.
Haven
From the developers of Furi (what else needs to be said?)
Play as two lovers who escaped to a lost planet. The only thing that matters is to stay together.
Use your sword, shurikens and cat-reflexes to face this action platform adventure! In the role of a ninja cat, you'll have to surpass the Master's Challenge and test your skills to the limit. Can you prove yourself as a true ninja?
2D art looks really nice, looks like it has great bosses and you play as a NINJA CAT.
The core theme draws on the premise that horrors and fear can be achieved through embracing white and the absence of information, rather than darkness and the obvious, though unseen, enemy.
Cats Fly Helicopters
From the developers of Race The Sun.
Cats Fly Helicopters is about creatively completing jobs with your homebuilt helicopters in a quirky simulated city of cats. Upgrade your gear while you meet the needs of residents - but try not to make a mess along the way.
Looks to be full of personality, and I mean, it's cats flying helicopters.
Build your epic dwarven kingdom under the mountain! Manage hundreds of workers, build great halls and defend your kin from disasters and attacks.
Dwarf Fortress
A better looking iteration of the game Rim World and Prison Architect were inspired by/based around (it largely created the genre as we know it). Unique in the sheer scope and depth of it, it's comparable to nothing else and I mean it. Think how Rimworld would be if it started as an Ascii game in 2003, and had continuously active development till present. It may not be overly pretty, but it so makes up for it in content.
Build a fortress and try to help your dwarves survive, OR adventure as a single hero against a deeply generated world in this complex construction/management/roguelike simulation. Every generated world brings a unique challenge, whether it’s dwarves with their own simulated personalities or aquifers. Observe what makes your civilization fall into eventual decline, and learn for next time… until something else inevitably goes wrong. The combat model includes skills, body parts, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, pain, nausea, various poison effects, and much more. It’s difficult to convey the depth of the generation. Hundreds of animals and monsters, many of which are randomly created for each world, as well as generated poetry, musical forms, instruments, and dances for your dwarves to practice and perform. A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity, and air masses to create fronts, clouds, storms, and blizzards. Over two hundred rock and mineral types can appear, in their proper geological environments.
If this one interests you I recommend this review, it does a good job of giving you some sense of scope.
A hypnotic video game about music, geometry and flow .Feel like solving three-dimensional riddles to a frenetic electronic soundtrack? Let Vectronom inject its colorful madness into your life! It’s easy to get into the groove but can you stick to the beat?
Great execution of concept, that I don't RECALL ever having been done like this.
Refoil is an inter-galactic, alternate reality, TV Metroidvania. Every run sets you for exploration in a new, uncharted alien world. With every death, you’ll gain experience only to maybe get a better fighting chance next time. Eternally? That depends on you, really.
Become the captain of a flying ship! Sell items, gather resources and build your own trade company in the clouds!
Circadian City
From the devs of Monochroma.
Circadian City is a life simulation game where you will play the whole 24 hours of a character, including the dreams. Take care of your needs, earn your life, try to make friends during the day and craft/build your personality in your dreams. The most accurate representation of life since the invention of dad jokes.
Dream Engines: Nomad Cities takes place in a wacky, whimsical world full of strange science and dreams. In order to survive in this strange, nightmare-infested, post-apocalyptic world, you must build and defend a flying city using old-world tech. Explore the world in search of scarce resources, fight off weird nightmare creatures, and find out about the old empires and their dream-tech.
Hot Lava
From the devs of Oxygen Not Included, Mark of the Ninja & Don't Starve
The Floor is Hot Lava! Run, jump, climb, and surf across nostalgia-packed environments flooded with hot molten lava. Explore alone, or join your friends. But whatever you do, don’t touch the floor.
Debrysis - an Awesome Badtrip
Hardcore Psychedelic Indie Action Racing Arena-Shooter
The presentation might not look so good, but from what I've read it's a game that makes up for it in quality of gameplay.
The Final Frontier is a game about star battles and meaning of freedom. It’s a fascinating journey through the endless, procedurally generated space in a universe where you struggle for freedom taking a rolhttps://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/jzBkm/unique-upcoming-games-that-you-havent-heard-aboute of the rebel leader.
Dash and dodge bullet clusters in nerve wrecking slow motion moments. Challenge up to 4 players to awesome and fast paced arena battles, locally and/or online. When a player is in danger, time slows down and a time bubble is created around the player. Now there is enough time to react and try to dodge the deadly projectiles. These time bubbles generate exciting alternations between fast-paced movement and tension-filled slowmotion moments.
This one looks like a blast. I mean I don't really have friends to play these co-op stuff with, but if I DID though!
Dive into the heat of this fast-paced battle arena! Customize the path of each magical projectile, cast powerful spells and gain a tactical advantage to prevail over your rivals in the Grand Tournament!
Might not sound unique at first glance, but I think it is. The devs even wrote a blog post on the matter.
The anti-golf game for people who hate golf. A silly physics-based anti-golf game where you get to golf anything. Every golf course is a new surprising type of golf, some brilliant or hilarious, others so absurd they will make you go: WHAT THE GOLF?
Devs are funny it seems.
Hunt down monsters to cook and eat them! You’ve been revived in a massive underground complex and you must leave this bizarre facility.
Hey I know that plot!
Road of Dust and Rust is a tactic car battle game, where you will gather a gang of post-apocalyptic cars and clash with other factions to find your place at the wasteland. You play as a convict, banished from a futuristic civilisation to the wasteland, where entire communities grew up during the years of this practice.

THAT ART! And the animations!! Not usually my sorta thing romance stories, but they seem to have put a lot of passionate work into this. Also the song in that trailer is so good.

Hunt down massive beasts and, upon destroying them, shapeshift into their forms in order to use their powers to save or destroy the world. Players with less violent intent can find secret paths to complete Mable without killing anything, including bosses. Unlike most Metroidvanias Mable does not allow you to run, jump and kill on your own. Instead, you must use non-human forms to attack creatures and traverse through difficult challenges. The strange cult that resurrected you speak of an ancient prophecy that says you will hunt down the great beasts, take their shape, and use their powers to save this dying world. But what if they're wrong? The prophecy is old, and words lose their meaning with time... When the world is falling apart around you, what will you do? In Mable & The Wood, it's up to you to make that choice. You don't have to kill anyone, but you might kill everyone. You can only maintain your non-human form for a limited time, but killing creatures extends your power.
A lot of very unique, interesting features and design choices with this one! Looks and sounds great in every way.
AFTERBURN
From the dev of Furious Angels
Your daily dose of air combat. Super easy to pick up, minimum requirements and vibrant visuals. Select your aircraft and jump into action! It is hard to find a flight sim where dogfights are as fun as watching a Su-35 doing a cobra or watching the movie Stealth. And that is what I'm trying to do with AFTERBURN: super quick arcade air combat. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Ashen is an action RPG about a wanderer in search of a place to call home. This is a world where nothing lasts, no matter how tightly you cling to it. At its core, Ashen is about forging relationships. Players can guide those they trust to their camp - together, you might just stand a chance.

Elden: Path of the Forgotten is a medieval RPG with roots in eldritch horror. Elden explores storytelling through non-traditional, indirect methods -- like reading an illustrated book in a language you don't understand. The combat is based on reaction, not action, you need to manage your stamina and position while waiting for the perfect time to strike or alternatively master the art of parries. Visually inspired by classic 16 and 8 bit games, Elden: Path of the Forgotten is a stunning, encapsulating, dark world waiting to be explored.
Really love the design of this one. And the concept. All in all super unique!
Battle through the longest night as Leila, the last member of The Vigil. Uncover the truth behind the eternal darkness, Leila's mysterious sister, and the eldritch horrors that stalk her in a world that has forgotten daylight. ...Vigil: The Longest Night is a 2D action platformer with precise, technical combat and a strong narrative. Inspired by Salt and Sanctuary and Castlevania, Vigil: The Longest Night aims to challenge players with its difficulty while compelling them with a tale of eldritch horror. Follow Leila on her quest to save her hometown from the creeping evil infesting the surrounding countryside. Navigate a world that wanders between dream and reality, sanity and madness, and uncover the secret of the longest night and the monstrous entities invading their world.
The designs of the enemies for this seem awesome. Looks just the right kinda dark.
Flynn: Son of Crimson is a 2D action adventure platformer. Explore a wondrous world filled with discovery, taking place in unique regions designed with non-linear exploration. Travel across the lands, discovering new ways to roam and opening new paths using the power of crimson. Dip in and out of an alternate dimension to make unique alterations to the real world.

More amazing animation and pixel art.

This one caught my eye because of the atmosphere the trailer gave off, the mystery, and the fact that it's being published by Adult Swim Games--who seem to love unique shit.

I've been following the development of a indie game that DeltaBladeX promoted back on a thread 3 years ago for the past 3 years. Tbh i'm pretty excited for the game to come out this summer! I've talked to the developers a few times in the past and they're pretty chill and they're really good about putting updates about what's going on and communicating with their followers.
Sneaky Ninja is the stealth game Nintendo would make; it's a 2D stealth platformer mix of Mario and Mark of the Ninja, combining lighthearted platforming with tactical stealth action and a wide range of difficulty modes for a game both casual and hardcore can enjoy!

Yes, I guess the game is not sutable for very religious people.
That boss in the last scene of the trailer looks fantastic :P

I'm not sure how 'unknown' it is, but Hell Let Loose looks very good. I was watching a closed beta stream this weekend.

Just found out yesterday that SteamWorld Dig has a story-driven adventure/card game spin-off that's poised to be released on the 31st (of May) called SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech.
Aside from looking and feeling good, the game retains its quirky humour (expect lame, facepalm-type jokes... which I absolutely adore :P) from before. However, personally, I find the game rather easy to play even in its "Normal" mode. Maybe it's because I'm currently at Chapter 2... and am still going through its earlier content. Anyway, here's a gameplay vid if you're interested :)
