What are the best indie games?

Nope, reaccessing memories over the 4 decks is cumbersome and it does not punish trial and error, I have guessed a few fates. Lastly, the game can be ambiguous, for example a victim getting clawed when it looked like a strangulation to me, and also beast vs foreign enemy. How was I to know that a particular humanoid enemy was classified as a beast instead of a foreign enemy? Trial and error, that's how.

mandatory zachtronics game recommendation. This one is hacker-esque.

it relies a tad too much on esoteric information that you need to know outside of the game i.e. reliance on non-diegetic knowledge

Short but fun puzzle game

Yes it's an indie game

The game has some leeway on accepting fates exacly because it can be ambiguous

my favorite indie of all time is Hollow Knight. Close second is Furi

No one has ever heard of this game. It's a galactic conquest game, but it's make to look like flowers. So it's both super tense and super relaxing. The HD version has a better UI and more levels.

Not the best but pretty competent at what it does.

Best Sci-Fi game of the decade and it came from a team no one has heard of with no marketing or advertising.

play the first 15 minutes of the game. It gets trippier and trippier after that.

I don't get the appeal of this guy's games. On one you get to play as a paper pusher doing repetitive shit as quick as possible. On another you use magic to view the past, making the the mystery solving aspect of the game moot.

most of the outside information is stuff that should be obvious. like what asian people look like, or what country a man wearing a turban might be from.
the only one i could kind of maybe seeing trip people up is not knowing where morocco is.

It's the only way you can solve the mystery part user

Only thing I don't like is the devs but that's besides

I love detective/mystery games, mostly weeb ones like DR, zero escape or umineko, but Obra Dinn was the only time I played a game like that where it actually made me feel like I had to solve shit myself instead of getting railroaded into the right answer. I doubt the dev is ever gonna make more, so I hope to see its gameplay style copied in the future.

I like most of the games in here

If you like detectives/mystery games, I recommend Ace Attorney. If you want a more western/indie type go for Aviary Attorney. Hotel Dusk is also very nice, nip game but western setting

Seems like a stupid mechanic, I'd like a mistery that relies on you getting clues without fucking magic to piece it together. Also care either way about why a bunch of morons killed themselves, and less even about the specifics of which moron died in which spot. At least not enough to do it 50 times.

oh shit, also Spelunky

Sounds like you're retarded. Try actually playing the game.

downwell, terarria

All great games, even played stuff like the touhou clone of ace attorney. Haven't played Hotel Dusk 2 yet though, been meaning to one of these days.

I did for an hour and a half and it was hot garbage. Hence why I'm bashing your overrated dev, little fanboy.

Probably my favorite indie of all time, as an indiefag.
I fucking HATE how short this game is. Love the atmosphere, the mechanics, everything, except for the fact that it quickly falls into a samey loop with only a few enemies and drone upgrades.

antichamber is an FPS puzzle game. It plays lots of tricks on you, but its fair and fun.

It's always a good time to put in the word for Cloudbuilt.

I'm at the point where most of the puzzles seem literally impossible, but I know it's just going to get harder.

I've only played Opus Magnum, but it was super fun. These other games kind of scare me.

This was cool, but some of the logic was kind of bullshit.

Hard to think of a game that has made me angrier. Why do I love it so much?

This game is just flat out fantastic. Great puzzles, great mechanic, great atmosphere, great story.

Any good 2019 indies? Worried all the big releases this year will overshadow some good stuff. Already aware of Baba and Rain.

I should try replaying this, though I remember it being a bit easy.

You seem to care a lot lmao. Next time you get butthurt enough to reply more than a time dont play the who cares card, retard. You would have seen that one coming if you relied on logic instead of magic for your mystery solving :^)

Cave Story
Knytt Underground
La Mulana

I loved every minute of Obra Dinn, it was mysterious, comfy, and brutal at the same time.

If there is one indie game that I recommend everybody to play, it's Cave Story. It's freeware. There is a steam version, pirate it if you want, but I strongly recommend against supporting Nicalis.

Why would viewing the past make the mystery part of it moot if the gameplay goal is to figure out who's who rather than what happened.

If I cared I would try to argue with you, instead I'm just going to call you a retard again, retard.

I've been playing Cultist Simulator, it's a surprisingly rich game that uses decks of cards to play through forming and running a cultist dedicated to fictional deities. It's gorgeous in its art and very intriguing on both gameplay and fluff.

I'm sure you wouldn't have figured it out anyway user

Kero Blaster is one my all time faves
Made by the guy who made Cave Story but doesn't get talked about as much
Game progresses level by level instead of an open world to explore but the level design is tight and the music is great

the game also has a "hard" mode but is essentially a complete redesign of the first few levels and then a completely new final level and final few bosses

Cave Story
Spelunky
Kero
but you all know about these
a total underrated gem that everyone should play
Within a Deep Forest

What's so bad about Nicalis?

lot of heart and charm, but at it's core there's not much going for it in the story department.

Who?

lucas pope. dev of OP game and paper's please

Caves of Qud and One Way Heroics are both fun.
I also like Tower of Guns and Dead Cells, but those aren't really roguelikes.

>Within a Deep Forest
that was really good

Gets repetitive after a very long time, but still a fun game.

I played this game a long time ago when it was free and called something else. Was kind of cute but just felt like a super blobby and simple RTS. Maybe they improved it since then (probably like a decade ago)

SOMEONE

Based, these games are all great. Obra Dinn didn't really click with me personally. I could tell it had a ton of quality put into it but I found it too tedious and confusing to enjoy. Maybe it's because I'm a zoomer that never played the games it's inspired by.

that's a pretty fancy tome UI

The best, but by now everyone who was going to play it has already played it, beaten the boss on normal and hard, and unlocked every ship save for maybe Crystal since it's now impossible in AE.

Actually just reinstalled that the other day after playing Katana ZERO.

i got a free copy of this when i bought into the breach, and i realized i actually couldn't give it away since literally everyone on my friends list owns it.

What changed that made it impossible to get?

>confusing
It's because you're a brainlet. That's the only actual reason.

Has anyone tried Forager? On the fence about spending $20 on it
