What Indie hidden gems do you recommend? (lemmy.one)

Ive been trying some indie developed games this past year, more than ever and I'm in awe what lone devs or small teams can accomplish.

So, what are some games that you think don't have the recognition they deserve, need a bigger audience or you would like the community to try.

I myself for example have played Monster Sanctuary, which at this point I think is not that hidden anymore and played a rougelike game called Elona, haven't played RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress but I might in the future.

Sorry if a similar post already exists haven't checked.

UNSIGHTED: a great Zelda-like/metroidvania from my home country Brazil, with a bunch of cool ideas about how to traverse the world and dungeons, neat souls-like combat and an anxiety-inducing time limit mechanic. It's set in an apocalyptic world where lesbian robots save the world with the power of love and incredible violence.

ZeroRanger: incredible shmup with awesome soundtrack, delicious anime-vibes, insanely-hard-but-fair gameplay and a surprisingly deep lore leans heavily on buddhist philosophy.

Dandara: another great metroidvania from Brazil. This one has an unique movement mechanic - you don't walk, you almost-instantaneously jump between platforms. The setting is pretty unique, with lots of references to actual brazilian culture and history.

One Way Heroics: an addicting top-down roguelike where you can only walk right, lest you be consumed by the Impending Wall of Doom that's coming from behind. Cooler than it seems.

Hacknet: a text-adventure-kinda-thing where you're a hacker doing hacker things. The interface emulates some old 80's systems and all your commands are actualy Linux commands. Also, the soundtrack slaps.

Hypnospace Outlaw: have you ever wanted to be a moderator forum from the late 90's/early 00's internet? Well, now you can.

20XX: Mega Man meets Rogue.

Wow I took a look at Unsighted and it looks really nice. ZeroRanger has been on my list for quite a while too.
