    First one that comes to mind is Your Spider. It feels like an injustice that it only has 13 reviews on Steam.

    A couple others:

    • 10 Dead Doves - One of the few games I that made me want to play through a second time. Interesting story, some funny moments, emotional moments, good voice acting. I highly recommend this one.
    • The Eternal Castle (remastered) - It’s a remake of a game from 1987, but the animation is great and the visual style is really cool.
    • The Upturned - A cartoony horror-comedy game with a great sense of humor.
    • Withering Rooms - The story is interesting and the atmosphere is great.
    • Exanima - Read about the features. This one is more impressive than the screenshots make it look (at least for me).
    • Praey for the Gods - This one is for anyone who’s looking for more games like Shadow of the Collossus.

      Withering Rooms looks absolutely incredible and is on my wishlist, I’m just waiting for a sale. I’m super pumped to try it.

      Your suggestions are great! I had never heard of any of those before. How do you manage to discover so many obscure games?

      Withering Rooms looks great. I’ve added it to my wishlist now.

      The Eternal Castle’s CGA graphics is so nostalgic to me.

      Praey for the Gods - how does it compare to Shadow of the Colossus?

        A lot of these I found just by going through the queues on Steam. I also sometimes just like browsing games sorted by newest first to see what new indie stuff there is. Most of them don’t appeal to me, some look absolutely terrible, but sometimes I find a new favorite that nobody else seems to care about.

        Praey for the Gods has some different mechanics such as having minor enemies to fight, effects from cold weather, and crafting weapons to fight the minor enemies. But the boss fights work basically the same way as in SotC. There’s not as many of them though. Maybe like 7 or 8.
