to be a gamer, you are required to own at least one totally obscure video game no one has ever played.

post your obscure game and proof of ownership

Then the games you play aren't obscure enough. I buy them because you cannot pirate them. You need more than five players for your games to show up on piracy websites.

Based. It's better to have a pirate copy for most of these as you can keep the best version when the dev has an episode and decides to censor or fuck up their game like Ready or Not or Superhot VR.

I've been meaning to give that one a try, I really like the aesthetic. Have you played the sequel too?

It is extremely good, huge amount of build variety to make your own playstyle. Tries to market itself as proc gen but the reality is that procgen is quite mininal with set areas and guaranteed items within those same areas, along with many means to keep items if you die.

Irrelevant. If a game cannot get more than 20 reviewers it also cannot keep seeders for the torrent files to live. either way a certain popularity threshold is required.

The game is hideous and the play dough character models are worse than Oblivion.

BUT It has so many elements that on paper I want to see in my dream game and so many cool ideas underneath the dogshit surface I just need to talk to someone about it.

Friend of mine got this for the group on sale for three bucks, never heard of it before then. Pretty jank but we had a lot of fun with it. The fact that there's a five dollar cosmetic dlc kinda rubs me the wrong way, seems like something you should wait to do after you've polished your game a little better.

the game isn't a 10/10 experience or anything, but it completely subverted my expectations when it came to the story. It also does that thing where you have to actually search an URL irl in order to get some clues. Also, I had to dig through the game files to get a password

Is there anything like The Consuming Shadow? I really like the general idea of the game, but the gameplay/combat looks clunky as fuck. So I have never actually played it myself. I did buy it just now though. Might try it on the weekends.
Yahtzee really should try working with other people to make a game. He seems to have some interesting ideas in his head, and a knack for game design, but never seems to pull it off. Every of his game look super amateurish and not fully realized.

Can you go lower with an actual fully realised game, and not some barely cobbled together pile of trash asset flip?
The game wasn't actually published on steam until 2024, but it is an old ass indie game. I was actually surprised to see it on Steam, just randomly stumbled upon it. I remember playing it in 2010 or 2011 and liking it very much back then. Can't tell if it holds up though, I am yet to replay it.

Learned of Consortium by viciously browsing TVTropes a few years back. I love games that play with the concept of how and why the player controls the player character.

I recently enjoyed pic rel, which in turn reminded me of No One Has to Die

nah, they're completely different, so you don't have to worry. While Dyeus is very much a "hardcore" experience, Worlds is much more laid-back, especially due to the fact that you have several levels where combat is secondary or tertiary to the experience

Dyeus is indeed hardcore, but not rewarding. That's the part I didn't enjoy. And for some reason it also skipped the cutscenes or the slides before you teleport to the final area so I didn't even get to enjoy that.

I'm shifting over from triple A to indie slowly over time. So everything i play is obscure. We happen to be living in a good time for independent developers, possibly being able to deliver the same kinds of games that i liked in the early to mid 2000s, we're not quite there just yet however.
