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

Obscure you say?
Most obscure game I've played.
>proof of ownership
Kill yourself I pirated it and 100% it and my experiences were identical with a closed or open wallet.
Not super duper obscure, I guess. But I've never heard anyone talk about it.

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?

That's not true at all because
I bought downloaded, immediately refunded and then uploaded it onto csrinru myself but I didn't mention this because I still opened my wallet for a split moment
great game by the way, highly recommend and will pirate the sequel.

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 most obscure games I own are the Railslave games, due to Jarboe voicing one of the characters in one of his early games, and appreciating the schizoid psychedelic version christian spirituality that is his style, not good games but very schizophrenic.

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.

not very obscure but i've been having a lot of fun with this game the last, what, 2, 3 months? it's a damn shame apparently devs can't add online mode for it cuz the engine is heavily physics-based and it's hard as shitting bricks

200,000 games get released on Steam every year for the past 5 years. It used to be that Steam had less than 2000 releases a year, and then further back less than 200. The vast majority of obscure games are going to be from the past few years.

Basically battle solitaire.
Has loot and rpg elements and you can equip items for bonuses and skills. There's also a version you can get without the rpg stuff if you just want to play regular solitaire.

Thought about telling this gamedev what I thought but I don't have any twitter or discord accounts and it probably wouldn't matter much what I say anyway. It sort of sounds like she made up her mind about releasing the game in parts.
And I'm not even sure it's a bad idea.

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

If you've played it and you enjoyed it or felt inspired by it, then I think the dev did a great thing. I've been playing pic related lately and fucking love this game, but I can definitely see how it would have limited appeal.

I think Astronarch is the only game I have with fewer than 1k reviews, but I'm too lazy to keep looking.
It's very good, I like the class designs and how different classes + items will end up interacting with one another.
It's one of those roguelikes where it feels very easy to end up either getting your shit pushed in or blasting through the game with no chance of losing.

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 win, this shit was originally distributed on a finnish BBS or university LAN or something in the early 90s. Probably nobody else saw this game for decades until I uploaded my copy for a guy so he could put it on internet archive.

Fun game made by a /v/tard about 3-4 years ago, unlisted for 2. Pretty sure the dev died so no more updates.

I wanted to play this but there was no crack for it. Only crack I found was Switch emulation but I can't be arsed with that.

I remember being excited for this game before it came out. I knew of it during the kickstarter craze. Unfortunately, it turned out to be pretty shit by all accounts. But it certainly had a cool concept.

I don't feel bad for the ones that are trying to make a profit and make it big. Those failing is funny to me.
But the ones that did something out of passion and then only got like 10 people playing the game, if that? Yeah, feels bad. Especially the games that look really high effort but because they don't pierce the zeitgeist they get 300 reviews and that's that. The competition is fierce right now.

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. But we are slowly getting closer to this ideal point. I expect it will come soon.

Most obscure game i can think of i have.
I also have Future Cop LAPD but I think I lent my sister the PS2 and games for her kids years ago, so can't take a picture of that one.

Left is a single player collectible card game (not a 'rogue' game, it follows a narrative where you build a deck and compete to become the best Duelist.)
Right is an anon's short small-town murder mystery. If you trawl the archives, you might be able to grab a key. I enjoyed it.

End of Dyeus anon here. I finally purchased it for the first time since it was on sale for $9 and has new exclusive content I can't get on my pirated version.
Still the best indie Zelda+elder scrolls game you can get. Now with new content too and a randomizer mode which is actually dope

its a good game...(you) are tasked with trying to find a way to break your gf's curse that is slowly transforming her to a monster. The nation she is from are vegetarian in culture, but giving her monster flesh to eat halts the curse progression. It's a really neat concept and the game is just really good my description doesn't do it justice

The combat is literally identical controls to oblivion. Click to attack, hold to power attack, right click to block.
75% of the reviews mention that it's like elder scrolls and many even say it's like Zelda+elder scrolls so clearly the majority players disagree
