Wow.

I played this game when it released over a decade ago and completely forgot about it.
Not a good sign, to be honest. Just 0 memory of it. I think it had voice acting and somewhat good atmosphere? Certainly not memorable.

Reposting from another hidden gem thread, but whatever.
Almost normal mode (527 reviews)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1958340/Cube_Chaos/

Or, more like CUBE CHADS.
It does not look like it, but this game is a revolution in deck building games, or card games in general.
You don't need to shuffle deck, all your cubes is on your hands. Instead of abstracted game field you have some kind of physical simulation running. Imagine most insane card game synergy and multiply it ten-, hungredfold. More complexity, but more clarity at the same time.
And dev is based, he doesn't nerf shit, he throws even more powerful curses at you to keep it in a state of relative balance. CHAOS is in the name.
So it's constant struggle, you think that certain tactic will carry you to the end, but it will be probably countered at the next encounter, and you will be forced to adapt.
Sometimes you win under a minute by placing one laser at the right spot, and sometimes you have to gnaw growing basalt towers for in-game hours (fast-forward is here). You can put steam generator merely to increase mana generation, and suddenly the game transforms to "how to survive at the bottom of ocean". You can combine machineguns with machineguns, you can make multi-tile robots, or just bunk enemy to death, and it's not like you could make it on a whim, you'll probably be forced to do all of this tactics.
It's THE BEST wizard simulator. Noita is great, sure, but Noita's magic is usually just shooting. Here effects are much more diverse.

>>714041370 (OP)
And for the NIGHTMARE MODE
DROD series.
It's probably better known outside of steam, but steam version have 28 reviews.
And it's the BEST puzzle franchise. Best music, solid worlbuilding, and incredible amount of puzzle elements every one of them deserving to have a game dedicated to, but here you have them combined.
And there's A TON of user dungeons.

>but ugly
Ugly indeed. Itemization is pretty straight forward for the most part, magic rarity item being ATK+2 then blue being ATK+4 and some variants with +ACC, another with a 20% to root enemy, another with Amor Pen, stuff like that. Similar to XCOM itemization, no crazy stuff like Path of Exile or similar games.
"Decent classes" is pretty subjective, but all the basic bitch classes that are in every medieval fantasy RPG have 2 to 4 key skills that I found pretty interesting. The Bard is pretty cool IMO, even though he is just a buffer, but he has 3 cool buffs IMO. From what I read, the "ultimate" classes with the coolest sounding names are kinda underwhelmed, so I ended up skipping them on my playthrough.
One interesting point is the point resource that you can use to negate RNG, guaranteeing hit or evade or even an extra turn. It can also be used on story choices to prevent negative outcomes, and to guarantee positive outcomes too IIRC.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229900/ARIA_CHRONICLE/
Casual anime Darkest Dungeon. Apparently the 3 paid DLC classes were released alongside the game, rather than later, so some people hate the game over that, but otherwise it's a pretty solid game. Personally I only found the Amazon useful, the Necroknight is focused on retaliation damage, which is more suited for meme parties/runs and the Invoker is focused on charging mechanics, meaning you waste the 1st turn and also every other turn to charge resources to cast spells, which is garbage for regular enemies and not strong enough on boss fights.

It's sitting at 511 review, but it still deserves attention. An adventure title with point and click mechanics, you play as a street magician who becomes the main assistant to a reclusive, neurobiologist. He puts together a team for new experiments and strange things start to occur. It dances the line between supernatural, and science. Written by Jane Jenson, same writer of the Gabriel Knight Series.

A tactics game with a pretty unique RTWP combat system centered around time manipulation. Maybe a bit too easy because if you want you can just rewind time and do everything perfectly, but other than that it's pretty fun. Once you get the timing down on things like blocking and dodging (it's not super intuitive at first and if you're like me you'll often block too early, since the block duration is really short) it becomes a lot of fun. The story and characters are bland af though so don't go into it expecting a great narrative.

Holy based, but also a little misleading. Worlds is a mishmash of multiple gameplay styles. You have whole Worlds™ where you don't even fight anything, just explore and platform using special abilities or solve puzzles.

If I were to give this one a TL;DR it would be: Metal Gear Solid without all of the exposition + more gameplay variety.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1304400/The_End_of_Dyeus/
This one is from the same dev. It reminded me a lot of BOTW, but in a much more compact experience, which was fucking great. The combat can get extremely difficult because of the "endgame" enemies, but the A.I can be easily exploited. I've never played the old Zelda games, but some reviewers said the combat is mechanically similar to those

there's also a great twist after you open the area where you took all of the apples/keys

>>714100648
Void Stranger was too cruel of a game for me but before it came out i really thoroughly enjoyed Zero Ranger from the same dev. Although by now its over 1000 reviews it still has under 2000 and its been out for 7 years now, its one of my all-time favorite games and definitely my favorite shmup of all time, its too unknown for how quality it is.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/809020/ZeroRanger/

It's a of a misnomer IMO. There are some puzzle-like elements here and there but it mostly just comes down to pattern recognition.

I was utterly infatuated with Burggeist. The lore, the atmosphere, even the minimalist artstyle was extremely cohesive and appealing. Although objectively, the game felt more like a vertical slice than a full fledged game. The world has a lot of history and quirks and you only get to scratch the surface before the game is over, and the gameplay is novel but jank as expected. I don't regret the $10 I dropped on this, even though that's a steep asking price for what you get, but I really want the devs to make a fully realized sequel.

I played the demo for this because it looked interesting, but it's so fucking ass. You basically just have to guess what she wants you to say and when to say it or it's instant death and you're thrown back to the start of the scene. Give the wrong answer, you die. Answer too fast, you die. Answer too slow, you die. It's tedious as fuck. Also, vore is a subhuman-tier fetish.

If this is the game I'm thinking of, it's not horror. It's a milky-thin 2deep4u brainlet game where you're just doing the found footage thing as a floating robot orb on a contemporary space station. Nothing special, but the visuals were pretty nice.

I don't remember where I found out about this game, maybe in an older hidden gem thread. Regardless this was originally a FE Sacred Stones romhack that went nowhere (Fire Emblem Midnight Sun) because one day the dev decided to make it a real game
Don't go in expecting it to be a FE clone however, it's a mixture of many genres: battles are like Etrian Odyssey, exploration parts are point and click, and dungeons/chapters work on a weird time management system where player and enemy turn alternate every "15 minutes" in game (each action or battle cost time, and you usually have to do something or reach somewhere before a specific in game hour arrives)
The game is still "looks" like a FE game however, one look at a character and you can instantly figure out his or her class, same for the story beats

Depends on the chapters. The game is like older FE games with each chapter having a story/VN part and a "battle" part, except in this case the battle is more like a "dungeon". You can't go back to previous chapters so you always move to the next phase as the story progresses
VN parts are usually longer because of the dialogues, shops and quests you can do with them, for most of the early chapters the battles will be over quickly, but there are some chapters which are more "free" meaning you can freely move to a battle area to grind or do quests as long as you have "hours" remaining. Later chapters have bigger battle maps so they take longer
As for the waifufaggotry, that's basically how it is The game even tells you if one of your choices increases or lowers a romance partner affection and it even has a few fanservice CGs (like a hot spring scene with the ladies). As for the story well it's literally Fire Emblem Sacred Stones except the demon lord is sealed inside a person. And obviously you have your evil empire with wyvern knights, past heroes and their legendary weapons that sealed the demon lord in the past and all of thos FE tropes you can think
As the one that posted about it it may be weird for me to say it but I wouldn't play this game just for the gameplay because it's really not that deep (and it gets very easy as your party becomes more and more powerful), and you don't even get that many playable characters (the rest are passives or summons) but I did enjoy the whole package in the end
I suggest a pirate if you want to try it

"During the first intergalactic war, hope rested on the next generation of soldiers. Utilizing dinosaur DNA, science created strong and impressive warriors. Once the war ended, there was no longer a need for the dinosaur soldiers and so they were forced to the margins of society. The only thing left for them to do was to sell their bodies. Always threatened to be discovered and exposed. What was happening there in secret had been strictly forbidden for a good reason.

Mutant Alley is a gay first-person sex simulation. You are going to interact with one of their most talented soldier's: The anthropomorphic T-Rex. "

wrong. the studio is ubisoft montpellier, which still exists. the staff team that worked on lost crown disbanded. the staff was just moved on to other projects within ubisoft. what the team disbanding meant is that any further DLC and potential for a sequel died. it was always a ubisoft studio, though. the staff were already paid for their work and any profit from that game served ubisoft as a publisher.

This game is dogshit. Artstyle gives you the impression of being soulful, but the combat boils down to unga bunga spam with rhythmic dodging away from the enemy (because visual clarity is bad). Bosses are too easy. Branching paths exist mainly to make you waste time rather than making exploration fun. Also it plays nothing like HLD, that game has weight torward its actions, while DoaW has an arcade feeling to it, you don't really commit to your actions.

>>714132194
I was just the sound designer, and the dev and UX/designer did a lot of the work on it.

I mean it took us maybe two years as a 3-person dev team to turn out something. I'd say it was still worth the experience and the stuff we learned along the way. I don't expect like some overnight breakout hit for our first game. It would have been very nice, but the important thing is we got it done (it's actually still not done because I'm still missing some sound effect revisions).

Mainly I want a good story and am willing to forego gameplay convenience if the story is really good. I just got diagnosed with cancer and I’m in the hospital, so I’m spending hours upon hours alone in between my brothers or my gf coming to visit and I just wanna immerse myself in a story and not think about real life for a bit.

It's a wave based space shooter where you play as a transforming mech/fighter ship, you can stack reinforcements and build up your own fleet as you progress

jeez anon
sounds like you'd enjoy more visual novels but maybe i say that as a bookfag and someone who reads more than plays point and clicks
try the blackwell games? it's a series of 5 point-and-click adventures that culminate within an overall story. unavowed is a standalone point-and-click that i had a good time with.

I've been meaning to play this since I discovered it in one of these threads years ago. Thankfully these threads keep reminding me that I bought it.

Thanks bros. These are exactly what I was looking for. And yeah, I’m not opposed to visual novels either, just don’t know the genre too well.

>>714132992
this looks neat if it weren't sp00ky
>>714133232
in my opinion VNs largely exist within two categories: mystery and dating sim. sometimes not even mutually exclusive. and some of these mystery stories get real mind fucky. anyhow which do you think you would prefer?

Japanese devs are retarded when it comes to pricing.

>Visual novel where you help a woman with amnesia who forgets everything whenever she falls asleep.

just finished it, thanks for the recommendation. This game went in a direction that I really wasn't expecting, both in the story department and in how you have to go out of your way in order to get some of the answers that contextualize the events of the story.

in case you aren't interested in VNs or games with ARG elements, I'll summarize the story below:

heavy spoilers, obviously:
There's a family composed of 5 members: Dad, Mom(Sophie), Daughter 1 (Nina), Daughter 2 (Amana) and Son (Ray). Ray isn't relevant. To cut the story short, Dad is an abusive asshole that has a dirty record for domestic abuse. He used to pimp out his own wife. It's implied he used to hit his daughters. One day he began pressuring Amana to sell her body, claiming that her mom used to do it, so she also could. There was a rift in the family from there. Amana eventually grew tired of it all and committed suicide, leaving a voice recording exposing her dad. For some reason, probably due to the violence, Nina went into a coma. Dad left them all by themselves. An old lover of Sophie (Mom) was a renowned neuroscientist developing a machine to help people like Nina by tapping into the subconscious. Because he still had feelings for Sophie, he offered to put Nina in the project free of charge. But then he died. Now the new head, Doctor Miller, is taking full advantage of the situation and backtracking on actual progress that could help Nina just because her mom won't quit paying them. Also, she had to begin whoring herself out again to sustain Nina there. The game itself is basically you playing as people that are participating in this project as test subjects that try to help Nina in her dreams. But the ending makes it very clear that Doctor Miller has no intention of helping Nina get better.

Someone please recomend me some good walking sinulator with no story just walking/exploring

>>714132992
This is the epitome of horror where all the characters are stupid and obnoxious and you'd rather see them die than survive.

>>714133358
Definitely more mystery if possible, anon. I don’t mind if they intermingle but probably more focused on mystery than dating sim

>>714134245
True, but also whatever honestly.
Which reminds me of another weird-ass-priced low Review game.

An autistic as hell number optimization game with the weirdest-ass pricing system I've encountered.
The core idea is that you are in a tower and kill monsters to gain resources, it starts out simple enough with just Attack, Defense, HP, and keys for doors. Later on, it can get a LOT more complicated with abilities and items and such, but it is at its core just a resource management game about trying to get the highest Score, which is measured according to your stats.
Originally, the game had a demo consisting of I believe 3 levels and the full main game cost $20.
Sometime last year, they retired the demo and made the base game the "demo" by just making it free. Anyone who owned the base game got Chapter 8 for free as a thank you.
Their English is pretty rough, but if i read it right back then, Chapters 9 and 10 are also going to be dirt cheap (like $2) because "we made enough money."
