IDEA

The group concentrate on giving away games that are considered as hidden gems. Hidden gems are:

  • games that you think aren't well known to the wider audience that you played and enjoyed
  • games that you think aren't well known to the wider audience that you haven't played yet but they seems interesting to you
  • games which have mixed or bad reviews for some reasons but you were enjoying them

There are no restrictions how many giveaways members should create per month and what quality or value these giveaways should be. The whole idea is about sharing with other users great games that they might miss. You've found a game that seems intriguing to you? You've played awesome game that seems to be underated? You want to share your trove? Create your giveaway for the group! This is the only rule. A short adnotation why the game should be played would be nice too but it's not obligatory.


RECRUITMENT

Due to the fact that group is very specific we'll be recruiting only people who:

  • we know and trust
    OR
  • are respected users of SG
    OR
  • will be recommended by other group members
    OR
  • will be recommended by respected users of SG

Cheers,

Would love this group, I already gave away a game I consider a hidden gem, last half of darkness, but wouldn't mind doing it again.

I'm interested in this one. (This is the first time I've replied to a group recruitment thread; I'm not currently part of any giveaway groups.)

I'm not confident I meet the criteria, but I'm also not confident that I don't. :) At any rate, I do really like some games that not everyone seems to know about, and would be interested to find more.

I like the idea that you (and Senpai) came up with.
I was wondering if I could get in just so I can get to see the giveaways + description.
I have few reasons as to why I don't qualify.

  • I can't make giveaways
  • I don't think I know any gems
  • I can't write short reviews/descriptions about anything at all.
  • I am not someone that people know
  • I don't have meaningful things to say

I won't be entering the giveaways unless I start making some. Not like anyone can believe me though x3
I actually wanted to make giveaways for games I enjoy (or think I would enjoy) regardless of them being popular or hidden gems. But due to reasons number one above, I postponed it to infinity

Games that were being given away are already visible if you'll visit group's page PLUS it is very possible that we'll create special thread on SG where we're going to add our recommendations too :)

Well, I wouldn't mind being part of the group, and I would definitely like to see what games others enjoy, but I don't have enough disposable income right now to create any nonbundled giveaways. If you don't have a problem with me not contributing for a while, I'd love an invite.

I've never said that game has to be un-bundled :) It can be bundled game too as long as you think it should have more audience. There are no time frames or rules for creating giveaways too, everything is based on honor, kindness and generousity of members :)
Added you, so you could decide if you want to stay with us.

Great idea!
If I was giving away games that we would recommend are: Knytt Underground, Secrets of Rætikon, Nova-111, Tengami, Boid, Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten, EPOCH, The Floor is Jelly...
Will gladly join the group, which are distributed is interesting, but underrated game. And I'm sure I'll find something to surprise team members.

I would like to test out if I can use the group to promote my review and guide for Our Darker Purpose a bit. So I would like to make a giveaway for the group. As for this I need a (temporary) membership. Game has less than 500 reviews. So I think it should apply to "hidden". Atleast it isn't known as much as it should.

Well, There are some projects that weren't that noticeable but then they bloomed and now are super hyped, I remember watching the early stages of Firewatch and first announcements about No Man's Sky. Now they can be considered AAA projects. Good for them because I believe they will be good. Also I am glad that Stasis has met its release, I am impressed by this one man project.
As for the games that have not been released yet but I find really interesting:

Routine: an another project that could be considered big, I remember reading something about team being funded/bought by one of big fish. A sci fi exploration of a stranded spaceship that has alien-ish analog futuristic feel to it.

Spire: from the creators of Dustforce, an old-school shooter homage in which you climb the procedurally generated tower via rocket jumps, all in super cool low poly graphics.

Intruder: A spiritual succesor to all these Rainbow Sixes, a tactical shooter which sets out to include all sorts of gadgets and ruses.

Witchmarsh: a victorian/lovecraftian rpg with amazing pixel art. What can I say, it had me hooked the moment I saw the first screens.

Path to the Sky: a little project that I've noticed some time ago about climbing as far as it's possible all in a very nice pixel art.. I don't know how's the progress, but I keep fingers crossed for these guys.

You should check Californium - it is an exploration game based on some of Philip. K. Dick books, sounds interesting to me :)

I'm interested. Often the games that pique my interest are those away from the mainstream. Which perhaps sums me up nicely.
