These days, Indies are really popping off IMO. Gems like Animal Well are coming out all the time. What are your favorites?

I went into SIGNALIS totally blind and expected it to turn out to be queerbaiting. That scene after the false ending literally made my jaw drop. Agreed on the anticommunist slant, but atleast its not totally obnoxious and mostly says "people shouldn't be brutalized by the systems they inhabit" so I elected to reinterpret it as anticapitalist lol.

One little bit about SYNTHETIK: either game is a blast and SYNTHETIK 2 is finally in a state where it is as fleshed out, if not more so than its predecessor. S1 is remarkably lightweight and runs beautifully however S2 has some issues with Proton and I have to periodically restart the program to prevent it from crashing my whole-ass system (Linux Mint). SYNTHETIK 1 has a freeware version called SYNTHETIK: Arena which will let you check out the mechanics to see if you like them, Arena also supports CO-OP play much like the base game! (I really like SYNTHETIK c: )

Yep, since the Anticommunism isn't portrayed as an inevitability with Communism and more as a possibility, I can logically justify enjoying the game better, haha.

Will keep that in mind for SYNTHETIK, thanks!
