Let me reiterate: if CDP is indie, so is VALVE. Technically, you are correct that they are independent studios, however you'll notice that nobody calls them indies.
I don't know where you got that definition from, but it's incorrect (and stupid). Initially at least, indie was a term attributed to any independent (sic!) studio, without any publisher behind it. Thus both CDP and VALVE are technically indies.
Today it is attributed to smal teams that make games with low budgets. The Witcher 2 had $10 million budget. I wouldn't call that indie, even though the team that mad it is independent.

CDP and Valve are arguably publishers now. Valve is effectively a publisher for Steamworks games and CDP was the publisher of tW2 in Poland.

I do believe both Companies can be called indie, and have some similarities:
-both cos are making games they fucking want
-both don't have a huge number of employees
-both runs a vg digital distribution store (Valve -> Steam, CDP Red -> GOG.com)
-free updates for their games
-listening to players suggestions

I wish every company would work like this.
Imagine a world without in-your-face-customer-DRM!

So many good ones to choose between. Possibly Aquaria.

"They claim that it's not a sequel, but it has a lot of similar qualities." I already pointed out that it wasn't a continuation of Terraria, if you'll re-read my comment. If you read their description of the game, it sounds like a description for Terraria with a few different features plus a stronger story focus. It also seems a bit more like a roguelike than Terraria does.

Dungeons of dredmor probably. Have 98 hours played on that one :o
If you're into roguelikes I can't recommend it enough.

Terraria, Bastion, Psychonauts, and maybe VVVVVV. Also Dredmor and The Binding are really fun.

you're in the STEAMgifts forum, so it's kind of natural that most mentioned games are available on Steam.
