>>722071723This made me think about how safe this town would be from a flash flood.I mean, sure, that massive crater is dangerous, but if they built flood funnels on the hills around the town, any rising water would be funneled straight into that catacomb.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1138210/Esperia__Uprising_of_the_Scarlet_Witch/Came across this randomly, and even tho I won't buy it since it looks a bit too low effort for my tastes, it got me wonderingSurely there's some really good indie FE-clones out there, possibly very autism-fueled, that are just hidden away on Steam (outside of Banner of the Maid)
>>722071909I can't say I recommend it. Pulling out won't be a fun experience.
>>722073520Just look under the Strategy RPG tag, use highest price, discount and $5-10 price point. That's how you navigate steam effectively to find stuff just by changing the genre tag.
UnderspaceIt's Freelancer with space monsters.If you know Trainwiz from TES community, the game is made by him.
>>722072385>he didn't knowAnon, besides the random curse that can kill you if you reach your 10th birthday. In the future the town will sink into the hole and become a next layer of the abyss.

>>722074013Does it have a giant rhinobeetle unit?
>>722073774Still can't believe tranwiz is making a space game instead of a train game, fucker got famous for modding trains into games all the way back to morrowind.
>>722074226Campaign is complete and IIRC the multiplayer is coming soon (TM).The game just needs slightly better graphic (not necessarily polygon counts, just more ship variety).Trainwiz just pushed a new version for the game updating the engine and fixes a bunch of bugs.
Wrongworld, got it years ago after getting it in a $1 Fanatical bundle and it was kinda fun, very silly and janky little game
Age of Fear series. It's like vidya equivalent of Mordheim with multiple campaigns and sandbox version is free.
>>722074805The game has space trains. You can ride as fast travel, there's a quest that happens inside it, some mission that involves stopping runaway trains, robbing a train etc.Also: https://underspace.fandom.com/wiki/Loco_Star

Mecha AceCheap little not!Gundam CYOAI just think it's neat. Wish the save system were more flexible so check the branching paths would be easier/faster.
>>722075268Bruh, you should tell people straight away that it's a CYOA text adventure before they get their hopes up. I played the shit out of it tho
>>722071723Coal LLC, i liked the game, its fun if you like those types of mining game, i enjoy the gameplay loop
I like autistic historical progression/upgrade strategy games from these guys, my favorite is the one about Egypt (I even managed to unite it once).
>>722075398Sorry, I thought CYOA would suffice.Those with pictures are usually referred as visual novels and full games are either RPG or just Adventure.

>>722076070It's before the pakis.
>>722073880If I described this game : it's State of Decay done rightalso, the game doesn't try to be StateOfDecay-like, it took some ideas, but implementation is differentif you took my bait, pick trapper, use shovel to make pittraps, it's not Project Zomboid, 2+ zombies will easily overcome you in melee, at least if you alone
>>722075831>Curse of Oak Island is 12 seasons long

>>722075831Sea levels typically don't experience a sudden two hundred meter rise.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/944180/Titan_Outpost/CRPG with a management/exploration thing going on. If you like hard sci-fi like Asmiov or Clarke then you'll probably like this game. It is super fucking jank but I found it to be mostly charming/soulful rather than infuriating. Has really funny dogshit Indian and Chinese accents for their particular factions. Plot is kinda ambitious with multiple competing faction narratives and objectives that all converge at the end of the game.>>722075146Glad to see this game posted in every hidden gems thread. It deserves more attention. Dyeus is bretty good too.
>>722071723Made in Abyss sucks ass but I want the basic idea to be used in video games. The setting would be great. Maybe some MMO where you descent the abyss but with different rules from that shitty tranime.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2676540/Brush_Burial/Small immersive sim type game, I think you are playing as a spider girl, generally good. To be getting a sequel which presumably wont have an as annoying second part and be more of a fully fleshed out thing.
>>722075831They'll simply have to adapt. The elevator will have to become a bathysphere or something etc.
>>722077292
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1271750/Unferat/A small kind of janky, but very atmospheric game. About being the evil sorcerer in the woods. It feels great to poison the villagers, summon your demons and raising the dead. Launching attacks on bosses. Before inevitably becoming overwhelmed and turning into a crow before escaping. Giving them the good old "I'll get you next time."Also has a really neat magic system about finding the right words in spinny circles. Almost mouse gesture but not quite. You'll know the words by heart after a while.

>>722080204it's a simple sandbox shooter, each level has unique enemies, in one you are killing UN death squads terrorizing a suburb. It's around 4 hours but costs just 2$
>>722081792why do you swear so much? what's the point?
I shill this decade old game.It's a comfy turn of the century pulp adventure, so a rather small genre, but it's still great fun.
>>722080141So cheap, looks like some arcade fun, hell yeah.
>>722072408Reminds me that the Amazon Prime listing for Made in Abyss uses the logo for that Minecraft server and they've never fixed it.

Ive been enjoying Death Metal Derby a lot. Fumes is a much better game, but this is a pure Twisted Metal clone in both gameplay and story, twist endings and devilish host and dumb characters and all that. The recent update made it better, and I think there will be more. Two things though, they used AI for textures and music, that might matter to you. They're working on replacing AI made stuff with human made stuff though. And it's not on sale (15 bucks), so if it interests you but you don't want to pay that much, at least keep an eye on it because the game itself is very funhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3515460/Death_Metal_Derby/

>>722085253there were generals when it came out, Ive been here since 2008 and those threads are the best time I've ever had on /v/. Not really a hidden gem but I also use every opportunity to shill it so you aight
>>722085253It's great but it's also still in development. I'd recommend waiting for the 2.0 release to avoid half an experience.

>>722086049Seconding these. They're great games (except for maybe the latest one).
>>722086049Damn, I need to redo my playthrough. I started SH1 and basically had bad end run for 50% of the spirits. I just can't stop throwing burning things at ghosts.
>>722085894It's not like Resident Evil is still making fixed camera horror games. Nobody really is outside of some autistic indies. You gotta take what you can get if you like that sort of thing.
>>722086091I liked the 3rd one a lot.
>>722085253Their have been regular threads with each update and I imagine it will be pretty active once the 2.0 patch comes out around halloween times
>>722086049Good story. I still remember all the clue for true ending.

>>722084049Oh I forgot about this game. I really liked the demo
>>722086132Indies are supposed to innovate, that's their only reason to exist imo, that's why it offends me. I hope they have surprises in the full release, I'll just stick to RE.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1210660/Daemonic_Runner/Jousting FPS, there is also a gun but it's mostly jousting.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1859770/Cubes_and_Knights/Also by the same guy and less janky and is sword based but it doesn't have the same cool hook.
>>722086223I love the game, that's why I shill it, but it's far from perfect. To get to the Twin Peaks part of it you have to get to know the villagers and some events are never telegraphed or anything. It's also harder than most modern farming games. Still worth 5 bucks in my opinion.
Why are all these games so dark? Not dark in "demonic shit" but lighting and color palette.Does hue saturation cost extra money?
>>722086138I dunno, it felt very formulaic.>thing happens in the distance>crew moves to thing>horror scene plays out>thing happens in the distance>crew moves to thing>...
Full Quiet. Modern NES game that plays like a sidescrolling Metroidvania. Very good, definitely worth the 3 bucks it's on sale for right now.Alternatively you can pirate the rom and play it in an emulator

>>722086091The third one is great for the most part. The main issue is that the ghost designs are just too goofy compared to the first two games. The case around Mr. Kokkuri felt really out of place too. The game has a generally consistant theme around romantic tragedies but the Kokkuri case feels more like an anti-drug PSA than anything else.

Ground ControlYou can get the main game + expansion for next to nothing right now.It's a real time tactics game. It looks a bit dated but the mechanics are solid. You permanently lose your units if they get destroyed and there's no saving during a mission. You do need to think about scouting ahead, especially if you want to use bomber-planes (anti air units shred them in seconds) or artillery (which can shoot a lot further than they can see).I enjoyed it a lot back when it was new. Even got the gameguide. It's a bit surprising to see it only having 180 reviews.

Not a Hidden Gem, /vg/ resurrected it from it's lost media grave after all. Yet surprisingly, despite 4chan's involvement most of /v/ seems to have never played it, let alone heard of it.Garage Bad Dream Adventure is a japanese 90's surreal point & click game + fishing simulator with mild rpg mechanics and robo dating sim. It came out at the height of point & clicks and would have probably influenced the genre as much as Myst, but a publisher fuck up caused a very limited release(like only 1000 copies) and the artist behind it basically gave up so hard he outright refused a re-release.It wasn't until /vg/ pooled together funds to buy a copy and rip it for the internet that he realized people really wanted it, so he got a new dev team and created the remaster, adding cut content to further flesh out the story, including adding three additional endings and expanding on the original one.Garage is about a troubled man agreeing to upload his mind into a machine called Garage, which contains a reality that may or may not be a collective unconsciousness realm.The player wakes up as a nameless machine fished out into this realm, a strange reality resembling a cave flooded with red sewage, of which junk is spontaneously generated; where a shanty town composed of the trash emerged through a community of other machines. The machines have a strange "biology" where males are strong and mobile but require milk fuel created in the breasts of female machines, who are weaker, less mobile and need to consume frogs fished by males to produce milk. They also need the males shaft(robo dick) to have sex with them to ferment the frogs.Despite this delicate ecological relationship, you find out that the human man who came to this place in the intro is a real sick fuck that got his kicks by murdering many female machines severely offsetting the balance.It's up to (you) to find the fucker while also being given the mission by a mysterious machine to escape from Garage.

It felt like the equivalent to watching Twin Peaks the return completely alone with no one to discuss what was going on.The unique thing about the game is despite its unusual setting, it's actually the "outside world" that is the most cryptic and compels you to speculate on it. It's like earth is the dream for the machine race, so there is a lot delve into.
If you like giant holes so much why don't you give your mother a call?
>>722093614good game but the levels are a mixed bag. some are excellent and some are complete dogshit. also no quicksave or checkpoints lol>>722094825cool but i was expecting more climbing and less jumping puzzle

barely misses the mark, but this is a personal pick of mine. expected a metroidvania, but it's more like a 2.5 DMC. takes some time getting used to because the mechanics are pretty unique, but i genuinely fucking love this game. great combat and boss fights. fantastic story, atmosphere. great sprite workit deserved better

>>722099318They are right.
>>722109130Simutrans Extended. I like the extra details such as track axle weight limits. Signalling being mandatory or your trains drive by sight. IE slow as hell to not crash into things. Even though crashes aren't implemented.Passenger classes, comfort, catering for acceptable trip times or pay. The time it takes to walk to the station or transfer. All mattering.Even the simple fact that tiles, though abstracted visually. Are actually representing a real distance. Pic related. Just about 420km of rail so far.Also the extra graphs which I believe are not in the base game.It's been a long time since I played Transport Tycoon. But as far as I can remember the cargodest/dist stuff going on is just much more interesting in Simutrans. Even more so in Extended.Just had an urge to play it again recently. So the network is still very small.From what I've heard A-Train has plenty of autism. So I'm sure some of this is in there as well.
>>722078828thanks, anonnettespooky month is upon us and as such I will be checking this out
>>722110216>So I'm sure some of this is in there as well.well there's no signalling for starters, you avoid deadlocks by scheduling your trains with the worst ui imaginable
>>722110457I've been recommending it as often as I see these kinds of threads. Someone here recommended it years ago and I loved it.
>>722110561It can't be worse than Simutrans Extended. It's one of the most confusing parts to be honest. You set an amount of departures per month. Which is 6:24 hours for whatever reason. With an offset to make lines align if necessary. I don't quite get it still. So you can get it pretty damn close. But not exactly. It has to be a division of those 6:24 hours. I guess it somehow allows for precise timing, just not in "real" days. Which is part of why the round trip chart is so important. So you have an idea of what you need to set it for proper spacing.
>>722110561Also, aren't signals kind of core to trains in general? And damn near all other train games?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2416190/Ichimasan/Thanks to the anon that suggested this in one of the previous hidden gem threads. This game was so comfy. Basically, you play as person that got their body hijacked and their soul stuck in a doll, and they're trying to get back to normal. It's a stealth action adventure game where you try to avoid being seen by humans, as that drains your spiritual power. You talk to other possessed objects, collect items, and play various mini games. It took me about 9 hours to finish 100%. A very charming game.

>>722117671That's just a ripoff of one of the games in Last Call BBS...
>>722084639I played the first one about a month ago and liked it well enough until I got about halfway into the DLC stuff and they just made the enemies bullshit to deal with. Too many enemies running down your base with not enough time to build up your forces.I had heard that apparently people complained that the main game was too easy so the Dev made the DLC fucknuts hard in response. It filtered me so I guess someone had to be happy about that I suppose.
>>722138154Decided to look a little deeper and overall, it seems the creator plans to replace all the AI with real art during Early Access and just doesn't have a good idea of when and more specifically how to do it yet.Should probably disclose that in the opening Early Access blurb, but I respect the hustle.
>>722138154>>722138706It's honestly way better than I was expecting. I tried Dark Hunting Ground expecting to really like it but I really don't like the progression in that game and ended up going back to Astroloot. For $5 it's a steal.I didn't know he plans to replace the AI art, that's great. If he does that and just adds more weapons to play around with I'd get many more hours out of it but I'm at the point on 2 ships where the only thing I can do is get stronger for the sake of number going up, but both builds are capable of doing all content unless I theoretically grind for x amount of hours until the repeatable map gets scaled enough
>>722139173>Dark Hunting GroundLmao, I was just looking at that one in the recommended box a little further down.
>>722139173>I didn't know he plans to replace the AI artTo be precise, it was a dev reply to a negative review all the way back in March.>Some other stuff...>You're absolutely right: I should provide a clear plan for when and how AI-generated assets will be replaced on the store page>That said, it's something that takes time, and I’d rather not make any promises until I have a solid timeline in place>The game currently uses AI-generated assets>I fully understand and respect anyone who chooses not to purchase the game in its current state because of thatI'll keep an eye on it as it develops, but I'll hold for now.I've found a number of titles in this load that interest me.
