Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I’ll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it’s a hidden gem tbh, but it’s such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.
There’s even a recent one that’s two player, I guess inspired by the We Were Here games. Which now that I think it it, also recommend.
My friend and I still say “My blood sugar is low” and “Owls” now as again as an inside Rusty Lake joke.
