I wonder why most games posted ITT so far are pixel platformers, I mean I get that it's an abundant genre but there were other cool pre-2010 indies out there.

Anyone else remembers The Forest from 2005?
It was a weird online game where you just explored the forest and you could meet other players but you couldn't chat with them except by using weird emotes and body language.
This has to be like one of my favorite weird experiences from that time, really felt like something out there and bizarrely unique.
